Ultra-Lightweight Aluminum. 390lb Dynamic Load. Precision Engineered for the Next-Gen Ranger.
The Ultimate Overlanding FoundationThe RIVAL 4X4 Aluminum Roof Rack for the 2024-Present Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor is designed to be the backbone of your adventure. Crafted from high-quality aluminum, this platform offers a perfect balance of strength and weight savings, ensuring you can carry all your gear without compromising vehicle handling.
Whether you're mounting a rooftop tent on your Raptor or hauling recovery gear through the outback, RIVAL’s low-profile design minimizes drag while maximizing utility. It is the definitive upgrade for the "Next-Gen" Ford Ranger enthusiast.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Modern trucks have limited interior space, and many "universal" racks are noisy, bulky, and lack the load capacity for heavy gear.
The RIVAL Solution: A vehicle-specific, aerodynamic aluminum platform that utilizes factory mounting points (with minor modifications) to provide a staggering 390 lb dynamic load rating.
Engineered for the Extremes
Engineered for serious work. With a 390 lb dynamic load and 170 lb static load, it’s built for tents, fuel cans, and hardware.
Full aluminum construction ensures the rack will never rust, even in the harshest salt-spray or humid environments.
Every kit comes with a precision-fit wind fairing to eliminate highway whistle and maintain your Ranger's fuel efficiency.
Designed to sit tight to the roofline, reducing the overall height of your vehicle for garage clearance and better center of gravity.
Technical Precision & InstallationInstallation is a comprehensive process designed for maximum structural integrity. To ensure the rack can handle the advertised 390 lb dynamic load, the four factory roof holes must be enlarged from 6mm to 8mm.
Pro Tip: We recommend using a tap on all included hardware and bracketry during assembly to ensure the smoothest possible fitment.

"The fit and finish on the RIVAL rack for my 2024 Ranger Raptor are second to none. The interior disassembly was the most time-consuming part, but once those 8mm bolts were in, the rack felt like a permanent part of the chassis. No noise at 80mph thanks to the fairing!"
- Marcus D., Ford Ranger Raptor Owner Required Installation StepDrilling Required: To accommodate RIVAL's heavy-duty mounting hardware, you must enlarge the factory 6mm roof holes to 8mm. This ensures the safety and high load capacity required for off-road use.

The factory holes are 6mm, which is sufficient for light-duty rails. RIVAL uses M8 bolts to achieve a 390 lb dynamic load rating. Enlarging the holes allows for significantly stronger hardware, ensuring your gear stays secure during off-road vibrations.
The install takes roughly 4 to 6 hours. The most time-consuming part is partially disassembling the interior headliner to access the mounting points from underneath. We recommend a second set of hands for lifting the platform onto the roof.
Yes! With a 390 lb dynamic load capacity, this rack is more than capable of handling most modern hardshell and softshell rooftop tents while driving. Always ensure your tent is mounted across multiple load bars for even weight distribution.
Dynamic Load is the weight the rack can safely carry while the vehicle is moving. Static Load is the weight it can support while parked (e.g., you and your partner inside a rooftop tent). This RIVAL rack is engineered for a high dynamic capacity to handle trail impacts.
We strongly recommend hand washing or touchless car washes. The brushes in traditional automated car washes can catch on the corners of the platform or mounted accessories, potentially damaging the rack or your vehicle's roof.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
