If you want extra carrying capacity on your Next Gen Ranger without making the roofline bulky, this is the clean place to start. The Wedgetail Core gives you a lower-profile, vehicle-specific rack that suits daily driving, work use and touring builds while still giving you real accessory-carrying capability.
The Core is the better fit when you want useful roof-carrying capacity without turning the Ranger into a heavier-looking full-platform build. It keeps the setup lower and cleaner, while still giving you a proper base for touring accessories such as awnings, rooftop tents and recovery-board style carrying.
