Question:

I am looking to get a 2022 Ford Ranger, what would be the best ladder rack to get for light hauling of lumber and building materials but also using for kayaks and outdoor toys?

I strongly recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # Y01151-58.

First the fact that it is adjustable is a big selling point for me, from 19" to 30" above truck bed rails. Lowering the height from several inches above the cab is less of a concern for a Ford Ranger than on and F-150 for entering under a garage door, but it is still a great feature as you can lower when not in use and have less concern when driving under something during daily driving situation. This feature can also be a great thing when using for outdoor activities such as camping, if you wanted to use a roof top tent such as the Yakima SkyRise HD, # Y07436.

For the specs, the weight capacity is a full 500 lbs. on-road and 300 lbs. off-road with the rack itself weighing 50 lbs.

In addition, this truck rack comes with T-slots in the uprights and crossbars to accommodate most Yakima channel-mount and clamp-on accessories. You can add eye bolts or additional lights to the bottom channels and mount accessories like off-road lights, load stops, # Y01161. This also has available SideBar Rails, # Y01153.
