Overview & Features

The Slimline II Load Bed Rack Kit by Front Runner crafts a robust, full-sized platform tailored for the RAM 1500 6.4′ Quad Cab’s truck bed. Its solid aluminium tray (1575mm by 1762mm) combined with strong steel legs and securely mounted tracks delivers impressive load stability for a wide range of gear and cargo.

Featuring t-slot channels along the tops and bottoms of the tray slats and edge profiles, this rack accommodates standard 8mm bolts allowing you to attach Front Runner’s extensive accessory range for enhanced organisation and customisation.

Durability is fundamental — the black epoxy powder coating protects against corrosion and wear while keeping the look sleek and modern. The rack’s approximate weight of 39.4kg is a well-engineered balance between strength and manageable mass.

Installation requires drilling your truck bed to fix the load bed tracks securely, but Front Runner includes detailed instructions for each step to assist DIY-savvy owners or installers.
