Front Runner's Slimline II generation of roof racks have been a mainstay on our shop since we added them to our range back in 2020. Since then, a lot has changed as Front Runner were acquired by Dometic, paving the way for an all-new Slimline 3 generation of roof racks. As of October 1st 2026, we are now accepting orders for Slimline 3 roof racks!
What's new?
Unrivalled Modularity
- Add, remove or shift individual slats without dismantling the entire rack.
- Adjustable slat pitch allows real-time customisation while maintaining structural stability.
- A simplified architecture makes the assembly process faster and more intuitive.
- Quicker installation gets you out of the garage and onto the trail sooner.
Low-Profile Design
- 20% lower profile than the Slimline II, which significantly reduces drag, wind noise, and fuel consumption.
- Hidden external fasteners create a clean, high-end, integrated appearance.
- Flat-top platform removes the perimeter lip, enabling easier loading and a modern, streamlined appearance.
Next-Gen Slat Architecture
- Optimised strength-to-weight ratio delivers a more robust platform without adding bulk.
- 40% greater strength increases load capacity before permanent deformation occurs.
- A 70% increase in stiffness ensures the rack remains rigid and reduces deflection under heavy loads.
Integrated Wire Routing
- Concealed channels within the perimeter profiles hide the wiring for a professional “factory-finish” look.
- Integrated corner pass-throughs and breakout tabs provide seamless electrical entry and exit points.
- Plug-and-play design for lights, solar panels, and various electrical accessories.
Premium Corrosion-Resistant Materials
- High-strength 3CR12 stainless steel, used for all sheet-metal components, provides exceptional durability in harsh environments.
- Black-coated stainless steel fasteners offer long-term performance and a consistent, stealthy aesthetic.
- Built to last against rust and wear, whatever the climate.
Built-In Tie-Down System
- Standardised tie-down points are integrated into each of the rack’s four corners for instant security.
- Full compatibility with Stratchits and other securing straps makes cargo management effortless.
- Heavy-duty reliability to keep your gear locked down on the roughest terrain.
Easy-Release Mounting System
- Proprietary mounting extrusion allows you to remove the rack without disturbing the critical roof seal.
- Maintenance made easy by eliminating the need to reapply messy sealant after removal.
- Simple reinstallation ensures your vehicle remains protected and your rack remains secure.
Huge Range of Accessories
- Dual T-Slots and multiple insertion points let you set up the rack exactly as needed.
- Wide range of accessories available to prep Slimline 3 for any adventure.
