Overview – Leitner ACS FORGED for Ford The ACS FORGED for Ford is the latest evolution of Leitner’s modular cargo rack system, purpose‑built for Ford truck owners who demand strength, adaptability, and a factory‑grade fit. Forged aluminum construction delivers exceptional rigidity while keeping weight manageable, making it equally at home on rugged trails or daily work duty. Key Highlights Forged aluminum frame — engineered for maximum strength‑to‑weight balance. Dynamic load ratings — supports 400 lbs off‑road, 800 lbs on‑road, and 1,400 lbs static. Modular platform — accommodates gear pods, rooftop tents, recovery boards, and more. Quad‑rail system — ensures even weight distribution and flexible accessory mounting. Corrosion resistance — dual‑stage powder‑coated steel brackets protect against the elements. Accessory compatibility — integrates seamlessly with Leitner’s ecosystem and major brands like Thule, Yakima, and Rhino‑Rack. Noise control — rubber diffusers and load pads reduce vibration and protect cargo. Ford Compatibility The ACS FORGED system is available for multiple Ford truck configurations, including: F‑150 (2015–2025) — 5.5’, 6.5’, and 8’ beds F‑250 / F‑350 Super Duty (2017–2025) — 6.75’ and 8’ beds Ranger (2019–2025) — 5’ and 6’ beds Note: Certain late‑model Super Duty trucks may require an additional rear support bracket for optimal fitment. Ideal Use Cases Overlanding builds with rooftop tents, gear pods, and recovery boards. Work trucks needing modular storage for tools, ladders, and equipment. Weekend explorers who want quick adaptability between cargo hauling and camping setups. Why It Stands Out Unlike fixed racks, the ACS FORGED for Ford offers true modularity — mounts and accessories can be added, repositioned, or removed without tools. Its forged aluminum frame provides torsional rigidity, ensuring stability even under uneven loads or rugged terrain. This blend of strength, flexibility, and compatibility makes it the go‑to rack for Ford owners who demand performance both on and off the road.
