Wanted to check what kind of crossbars are out there that fit the bed stake pockets. Also, if there's any reference for max weight rating on these.

Not sure if these are even standard equipment on US-spec Rangers

US Rangers do not have the bed pockets or knock-outs for stakes.
I wish they did cause I'd make a set.
This is a pic of my previous 2009 Ranger with some stakes I made from oak and painted to match the truck.

Yes, I am disappointed the newer Rangers do not have the bed stake pockets. I use them for mounting a camper shell. I don't like the clamps for that purpose. I will be forced to drill holes on the bed rails.

Had it when we had our motor home, and it was my "toy".
When we decided to go back to a travel trailer, needed a truck that could haul....thus the "new" Ranger.
But, sold it during "Covid" time when used trucks were few, and got $$$ that was twice what it was really worth.

My 2005 XLT 4x4 is worth far more to me than the book value. I actually value it more then I do my 2020.

I do understand your need for a truck capable of towing a TT.
