Aeroklas Work hardtop - pop-up side door - PN3GZ frozen white - Ford D/C 2023-

The following only applies to vehicles manufactured before December 2024. The vehicle manufacturer made changes to the bed reinforcement in November 2024, which resolved this issue.

  • In order to preserve the structural integrity of the truck bed, Ford recommends the installation of reinforcement brackets (J-brace) when installing accessories on the rail of the truck bed.
  • In practice, this means that in the case of accessories (e.g. hardtops) that extend above the side wall of the truck bed and weigh more than 45 kg, the installation of a reinforcement J-brace is required. The part in question is shown in blue on the picture.
  • Ford sells these brackets as aftermarket service parts available under the following codes:

    ◦ Ranger (except Raptor) part number: AMN1WJ27726AA / VN1WZ2627726A
    ◦ Ranger Raptor part number: AMN1WJ27726BA / VN1WZ2627726B

  • Failure to install the brackets may void the manufacturer's warranty.
  • Please contact your Ford dealer for more information.
