The Flexible Rack System platform
- What it fits: the 2022 on Ranger dual cab fitted with Ford's Flexible Rack System. The listing names the T6.2 Platinum from 2024 and some Sport and XLT models factory fitted with the same rails, and says it only suits the 2024 Series 2 Flexi-Rack System.
- How it attaches: to the Series 2 Flexi-Rack roof rails, using an adaptor mounting kit. It ships unassembled.
- What it is made of: powder coated aluminium with glass reinforced nylon, made in Bayswater, Victoria.
- Wind deflector: included.
If your Ranger has an earlier rail system, or you are not sure which rails it has, use Find My Vehicle or ask a stockist before you order. Two Wedgetail listings mention the Platinum, so confirm the fitment for your vehicle's rails.
Wildtrak platforms
Wedgetail lists Wildtrak dual cab platforms for the 2022 on Ranger and the 2011 to 2022 PX, in Wedgetail Adventure, and for the PX in Oval Steel as well. For the other 2022 on dual cab variants there are Wedgetail Adventure and Wedgetail Core platforms; all of them are in the Ford Ranger guide.
Check the Ranger's own limit
Ford's roof figure for the Next Gen cab roof is reported at 85 kg while driving and 350 kg parked (CarsGuide). Oz Canopies cites Ford's owner's manual at 80 kg maximum permissible roof rail load, including the rack, on some variants with factory roof rails (Oz Canopies). Your load must be within the platform's rating and your Ranger's figure, so the lower one applies, less the platform's weight. Other vehicles are in roof load limits for Australian vehicles.
