South Africa-based Front Runner now offers an overlanding rack system for some of the most popular pickups in the overlanding space.
Front Runner says the Pro Bed Rack System is based on an expansion of ideas offered in the Front Runner Dometic roof rack systems. In a press release, Front Runner said the Pro Bed Rack System is “expertly crafted to give gear accessibility to a truck’s load bed area without intruding on valuable in-bed space and provides a hassle-free mounting solution for all overlanding, camping, and adventure accessories.”
The Pro Rack System will fit a range of vehicles, including the Ram 1500 Crew Cab with a 5 ft. 7 in. bed, Ford F150 Super Crew with a 5.5 ft. bed, Ford Ranger T6 and 6.2 dual-cab/super crew, Jeep Gladiator, Toyota Hilux DC, Toyota Tacoma DC with a 5 ft. bed and the Toyota Tundra Crewmax 3rd Gen with the 5.5 ft. bed. The system will work with bedliners including drop-in types, but not bed covers or roll tops.
