Dorsal Ladder Rack
This is a cheeky little solution that we found for another conundrum that customers often asked us about. With the Ranger ‘Limited’ there is the option of either ladder rack or sports bar, of the chrome kind. In fact Ford have even come up with the gloriously over the top description of either ‘Limited 1’ or ‘Limited 2’ where literally the only difference is whether it has a chrome sports bar or not, for an extra £500 plus vat.
Anyway, we digress but you get the idea that with the Limited model there is an option to have a ladder rack, or not. Well with the Wildtrak model there isn’t the option. The low profile sports bar, which is standard with the Wildtrak, looks wonderful and is colour coded with the other parts such as wing mirrors and grill.
Pegasus Cover
The traditional cover for the Ford Ranger Wildtrak is the branded ‘Mountain Top’ roller shutter. Often this is factory fitted and is much like the sort of thing that you might see on a shop front closed for the night. They are pretty robust and are described as ‘weather-proof’ rather than ‘waterproof’. The majority of owners still go for the roller shutter but if you want something watertight then you have to start considering other options. A ‘Truckman’ style box would do the job but it fundmentally changes the look of the vehicle. There are various sports tonneau covers that can be fitted (see the Max Highline) but they all require the removal of the Wildtrak sports bar. The only tonneau that we can find that retains the sports bar, and is ‘waterproof’, is the Pegasus cover.
