Comparison
Wedgetail vs OCAM Signature Platform
Short answer
The clearest difference is the published rating: every Wedgetail is rated 100% off-road to its full dynamic rating (100 or 150 kg dynamic on most platforms) with static = 3.5 x dynamic, while OCAM's product page for the Signature platform on the Hilux N80 gives no load figure. Both are welded aluminium platforms with a wind deflector included. OCAM lists the Hilux N80 Signature platform at $1,084; Wedgetail Adventure costs $1,525 to $5,905 RRP inc GST per complete fitment, carries a warranty of 10 years and is made in Bayswater, Victoria, Australia.

What to ask OCAM before you compare
The OCAM pages we could read on 14 October 2026 named the Signature Aluminium Platform for the Hilux N80 and its size, 1250 x 1250 mm, but not the figures below. Ask for them for the exact kit on your vehicle:
- The dynamic load rating, and whether it is lower off-road. - The static rating, if one is published. - The warranty term and whether it covers off-road use. - Where the platform is made, and whether the main frame is welded. - Whether the price includes the mounts and a wind deflector.
Wedgetail's figures
Every Wedgetail is rated 100% off-road to its full dynamic rating, with no separate off-road figure. Static is 3.5 x dynamic, so a platform gives 350 or 525 kg static parked; see static vs dynamic ratings and the 3.5 x rule. The main frame is welded, the other parts bolt or click together, and the rack ships flat-pack.
Price: compare the full kit
A Wedgetail price is for a complete solution made to suit the vehicle, with the wind deflector included: Wedgetail Adventure is $1,525 to $5,905 and Wedgetail Core $1,400 to $1,695. For the same ute, see the Toyota Hilux 2015 to 2025 dual cab Adventure platform or every option in the Toyota HiLux guide.
Accessory compatibility
The lip around a Wedgetail platform is there for strength. Some third-party accessories need a 10 mm spacer to clear it, and with that they fit. There is no Wedgetail spacer kit; see do third-party accessories fit a Wedgetail.
Who makes Wedgetail
