I think as long as you have proper support under the bed, like large washers or maybe even add a couple of extra bolts, you would be ok.I would not recommend mounting the L-Track (O-Track, S-Track et al) in the bed. The sheet metal in the bed is likely to bend if you ratchet your load down with straps.
I actually saw a pickup yesterday with an aftermarket track system, and their truck bed was bent towards the front of the bed next to the cab. That's the damage I would envision happening to the Ranger. On the Frontier the Utili-Track system is made for the truck and is mounted solid. My $0.02.
I have E Track in the cargo area of my Explorer, that use to hold down a 125# spare and tools under heavy off roading, and my floor is still perfectly flat still.
