Installed el cheapo tonneau from the Ford dealer. Took it for a test drive. It may be my imagination, but it seems quieter than the open bed. Who knows? It’s nothing like watertight, but it should keep bags of trash in the bed and most of the snow out.

And ordered this rack from https://xtrusion-overland.com/ for my Ranger. I can't wait to get this in and on the truck!

On the website I only see Tacos and full size trucks. I guess you hope or know it will fit the Ranger?
I think a bed rack system like this is what I want to go with.

I've been going back and forth with the owner of the company, and it's looking good so far. Once I get it in, I will do a full review with a lot of information. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will do my best to get you answers.

Forgive my ignorance and curiosity, are you just a serious camper, or do you take it to an extreme level? A lot of amazing gear and rigging!

I'm more serious about organization and carry a lot of miscellaneous gear in my truck!

Grimlock went in for his first 10k oil change, service people were oogling pretty hard at him Was also adorable when baby Ranger was pulled in shortly after (so tiny). Had the recall done on my tail lights, looks like my truck did not need replacements. Also was happy to see that they will install a lift and warranty it! So I see a 6" lift in my near future

Greetings Grimlock, I assume this was at stock suspension? What size tire ? Spacers ? Im Going for a similar build myself, no lift or level but getting 265/70/17s tomorrow and was considering spacers if I can do it with out rubbig and or cutting anything.

Not today, but earlier this week I got to see how it would handle some camping gear. I made the correct choice in picking my current set up over a taller bed rack. I have no desire to pack up a roof top tent anytime I want to leave a campsite and lugging the pelican cases up higher would be a back killer.
