Does the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Bed Ladder Rack Require Drilling if Bypassing Stake Pockets?
Question:
2021 Ranger has no stake pockets. Can part #A39ZR be installed with no drilling?

Expert Reply:
I have an alternate solution for you. Since the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - Matte Black # A39ZR is designed to fit onto the bed stake pockets, the Adarac will require some kind of drilling for the mounting points.
However, if you are looking for an alternative rack that doesn't attach to the stake pockets, I recommend the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 800 lbs # EM07705. The Erickson fits onto the truck's bed with clamps instead of using stake pockets and does not require any drilling. The Erickson is also a great option because it includes sliding load stops to help keep cargo secure.
If you are looking for a bed rack that is compatible for a tonneau cover, I would be happy to assist you further.
