Why The Front Runner Slimline II Load Bed Rack Kit?

The Slimline II Rack Kit offers an elegant blend of function and durability. Sitting securely atop your Ram’s 6′ 4″ load bed, it adds a robust carrying platform without impeding access to the truck bed itself. This lets you haul large, irregularly shaped gear such as camping tents, construction materials, or bulky toolboxes with confidence and convenience.

Designed from corrosion-resistant aluminium and high strength steel, the rack withstands harsh Australian weather and rough terrain. The overlaying aluminium tracks provide versatility, enabling quick repositioning of universal legs to suit your specific load.

Its modular t-slot design supports a vast range of Front Runner accessories, so you can custom-fit tie-downs, awnings, and more for your next journey.

  • Front Runner’s Limited Lifetime Warranty ensures long-term peace of mind.
  • Manufactured from premium materials proven in Australian outdoor conditions.
  • Comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware plus clear, detailed instructions.
  • Tested for compatibility and strength on multiple Ram models.

Best For

Not Ideal For
