Looks similar to the Hamer models here in The Philippines ??.

It's sold by Ford Australia. The ROW and NA beds are different. You might get a Shop that does tube work to do a custom fab.

I get the want for the light bar up top, but is the extra rail along the truck bed rails aesthetic or does it serve another purpose? It’s illegal in most places in the US to ride in the bed now, so I’ve wondered about the purpose. I thought these would get in the way when trying to move something larger in the truck bed.

It's really not a bed rack or tie down rail per se. It's a roll bar, intended to help prevent the cab and occupants from being crushed in a roll over.

This one appears more functional as its tied to the bed/frame points...

Or DIY?

Remember, that in most of the rest of the world (F150 returns to Australia 2023 MY) there're no full size trucks like here, where the F150 outsells the Ranger by almost 12:1

OEMs call them "Light Bars" or "Accessory Bars" to avoid lawsuits stemming from rollover accidents. Depending on the bar mfr, most don't have the wall thickness to prevent or limit deformation in a crash. Anything not bolted through the box to the frame is probably not going to hod up in a rollover, especially a multiple roll, IMO.

Yes indeed, they are mostly cosmetic or accessories mounts, especially if box rail mounted. I was trying to be graceful and not come across as insulting or demeaning to anyone.

Sport bar, sport rack... just another style accessory to dress it up, and make it yours.
