Front Runner Slimline 3 Roof Rack Kit for Ford Ranger T6.2 Double Cab
Front Runner Slimline 3 Roof Rack Kit for Ford Ranger T6.2 Double Cab
The Front Runner Slimline has spent years as the platform rack people benchmark against, and the Slimline 3 is the version that answers the two complaints about the Slimline II: height and fixed slats. This is the Dometic Front Runner roof rack kit built specifically for the Ford Ranger T6.2 Double Cab.
As a Ford Ranger roof rack it is a full platform: the tray measures 52.7 inches long by 48.8 inches wide and sits just 2.8 inches tall, 20% lower than the Slimline II, which cuts drag, wind noise, and fuel consumption. Slats move individually without dismantling the rack, dual T-slot channels take accessories at multiple pitches, and all four corners have integrated tie-down points. Wiring routes through concealed channels in the side profiles. Construction is heat-treated aluminium and high-strength 3CR12 stainless steel with a black powder-coated finish. Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Move Slats Without Dismantling Anything
This is the change that matters most. On the Slimline 3 you can add, remove, or shift individual slats without taking the rack apart. Fitting a new accessory no longer means pulling the tray down and rebuilding it around the mount. Slide the slats to where the gear needs them and carry on.
Lower, Quieter, Cheaper to Run
Height is where this Front Runner roof rack separates itself. The Slimline 3 tray is 2.8 inches tall, a 20% reduction on the Slimline II. That is not just an appearance change.
Less Drag
A lower tray presents less frontal area, which shows up directly in fuel consumption on a long highway run.
Less Wind Noise
The most common complaint about any platform rack. Lowering the profile is the most effective way to address it.
Better Clearance
Nearly three quarters of an inch back, which matters in a parking garage or under a tight garage door.
Dual T-Slots and Staggered Insertion
Each slat carries dual T-slot channels with multiple staggered insertion points along its length, and slats can be set to different mounting pitches.
In practice that means two things. You can insert hardware at several points rather than threading it from one end, and you can change the spacing between slats to suit what you are mounting. A wide cargo box wants different pitch to a pair of recovery boards, and the Slimline 3 lets you set each without compromise.
Details That Show Up in Daily Use
Integrated Tie-Down Points
All four corners have built-in tie-down points compatible with Stratchits, Stratchit shorties, and other lightweight securing straps. No add-on brackets needed for the strapping most people do most often.
Concealed Wire Routing
Dedicated channels within the side profiles let you route wiring for lights and electrical accessories out of sight. Corner sections include built-in pass-throughs and breakout tabs, so wires enter and exit cleanly rather than being cable-tied along the outside of the rack.
Easy-Release Mounting
The mounting system uses an exclusive extrusion that lets you remove the rack without disturbing any roof seals. That simplifies installation and makes maintenance considerably easier, which matters on a vehicle where you would rather not be unsealing the roof repeatedly.
Built for Weather and Abuse
- Heat-treated aluminium for the tray and slats, keeping weight down without giving up strength.
- High-strength 3CR12 stainless steel in the structural components, chosen for corrosion resistance in wet and salty environments.
- Weather-resistant black powder-coated finish over the top.
- Stainless steel fasteners as standard, not an upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is different about the Slimline 3?
Two things mainly. The tray is 20% lower than the Slimline II at 2.8 inches, which cuts drag, wind noise and fuel use. And the slats are individually movable, so you can add, remove or shift them without dismantling the rack. The Slimline 3 also adds integrated corner tie-downs, concealed wire routing, and a mounting system that releases without disturbing roof seals.
Will it fit my Ranger?
This Ranger roof rack is built for the Ford Ranger T6.2 (P703) Double Cab, the current generation. It includes the vehicle-specific MSFR001 mounting system, so it is not a universal fit. Earlier Ranger generations and other cab styles need a different mount. Call us at 844-200-3979 with your year and cab if you want it confirmed before ordering.
Can I take the rack off without unsealing the roof?
Yes. The easy-release mounting system uses an exclusive extrusion that lets the rack come off without disturbing any roof seals. The mounting hardware stays in place and sealed while the rack itself lifts away, which makes both maintenance and occasional removal far less of a job than it usually is.
How do the T-slots work?
Each slat has two T-slot channels with multiple staggered insertion points along its length, so you can drop hardware in at several places rather than threading it from one end. Slats can also be set to different pitches, meaning you can space them to suit a wide cargo box in one area and tighter spacing for recovery boards in another.
Can I run wiring for lights through it?
Yes, and cleanly. Dedicated channels inside the side profiles carry wiring for lights and other electrical accessories out of sight, and the corner sections have built-in pass-throughs and breakout tabs so wires enter and exit where you need them. No cable ties along the outside of the rack.
Will my existing Front Runner accessories fit?
Every Front Runner roof rack accessory in the top-mount range is compatible with the Slimline 3. If you are moving over from a Slimline II and have accessories that rely on the older slat spacing, it is worth checking those specifically before you order. Call us at 844-200-3979 with what you are running and we will confirm.
