Ford Ranger Roof Rack Replacement Parts

The Ford Ranger has gone through distinct generations — the T6 platform ran from 2011 to 2022 (with a facelift in 2015), and the next-generation T6.2 arrived in late 2022 onwards — and roof racks are not interchangeable across that boundary due to changes in roof dimensions and mounting points. Within the T6 generation (2011–2022), racks from pre-facelift and post-facelift trucks are generally compatible, but confirm with the breaker against your registration as subtle pressing changes can occur mid-generation. Always verify the year and cab style of the donor vehicle before buying.

Yes — cab style is the most important fitment factor for a Ranger roof rack, as the roof length and shape differ significantly between the Extra Cab (also called Super Cab) and the Double Cab (four-door) body styles sold in the UK. A Double Cab rack will not fit an Extra Cab and vice versa, so always confirm the cab type of the vehicle the rack came from. Ask the breaker to quote specifically for your cab style and check it against your registration.

Trim level — whether your Ranger is an XL, XLT, Limited, Wildtrak, or Raptor — does not affect whether a roof rack will physically fit, as the roof profile and mounting points are the same across trims for the same generation and cab style. That said, some trim-specific or dealer-fit racks may differ in finish or mounting hardware, so if cosmetic matching matters to you, check the rack's finish against what the breaker describes. Fitment is driven by generation and cab style, not trim.

Both 2014 and 2016 Ranger Double Cabs sit within the T6 generation (2011–2022), with the facelift falling in 2015, so these years are close to that boundary. In most cases roof dimensions remain consistent across the T6 facelift, but because mid-generation pressing changes can occur, you should confirm with the breaker that the rack from the donor vehicle fits your exact registration rather than assuming it carries straight over. A reputable breaker will be able to check this against both vehicles.

On the Ford Ranger sold in the UK, roof racks are not a standard factory-fitted item on most variants — they are typically dealer-fitted accessories or aftermarket additions, though some fleet and commercial-spec trucks may have come with racks fitted from the factory or dealer. This means used racks sourced from breakers may vary in design, mounting style, and condition depending on their origin. When getting a quote, ask the breaker whether the rack came with the vehicle originally or was added later, as this can affect compatibility with your own roof rails or mounting points.

Many used Ranger roof racks sourced from breakers are designed to mount onto factory-fit longitudinal roof rails, so if your Ranger does not already have roof rails fitted you may find the rack cannot be directly attached. Check with the breaker whether the rack they are supplying includes the rails or just the rack itself, and confirm whether your vehicle's roof has the factory mounting points for rails. Getting this detail right upfront will save you buying a rack that cannot be fitted without additional parts.
