If you are looking for Ford Ranger NextGen accessories in Australia, the first step is making sure you are buying for the correct Ranger generation. The NextGen RA/P703 platform launched in Australia from 2022 and uses a different tub and mounting layout from the earlier PX, PX2 and PX3 Ranger.
This guide covers UniUte's current live accessory range for the Ford Ranger NextGen 2022+, including canopies, electric and manual roller shutters, REVOLVER covers, hard lids, soft tonneau covers, sliding trays, swing-out tool boxes and tailgate upgrades.
Fitment note: most tub-mounted products in this guide are for the NextGen dual-cab tub. Existing factory or aftermarket sports bars, racks and other tub-mounted accessories can affect compatibility, so check the individual product page before ordering.

Ford Ranger NextGen Fitment: What to Check First
- Confirm generation: NextGen RA/P703, 2022+.
- Confirm body style: many tub products are specifically for dual-cab models with the standard tub.
- Check existing sports bars and racks: these can change which cover or shutter setup will fit.
- Check product-specific notes: some accessories start at 2023 model year or have variant-specific requirements.
Accessories from the earlier PX-series Ranger should not be assumed to fit the NextGen. The tub profile, rails and mounting points differ, so always choose the vehicle-specific version.
Which Ford Ranger NextGen Accessory Should You Choose First?
| What you need | Best starting point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Powered retractable tub cover | Electric roller shutter | Remote operation, retractable aluminium slats and integrated drainage. |
| Premium manual roller cover | HERO Lid | Manual operation with reinforced aluminium panels and a compact front canister. |
| Standard manual roller shutter | Manual roller shutter | Hard retractable cover without electric wiring. |
| Low-profile hard rolling cover | REVOLVER | Roll-up hard cover with full tub access when open. |
| Rigid folding cover | Tri-fold or quad-fold hard lid | Rigid panels with simple partial or full opening. |
| Full-height enclosed storage | Ford Ranger NextGen canopy | Choose fibreglass or stainless steel depending on use and finish preference. |
| Access to heavy gear | Sliding tray | Pulls cargo toward the tailgate instead of making you climb into the tub. |
| Side-mounted tool storage | Swing-out tool box | Keeps frequently used tools accessible while leaving the tub floor open. |
Ford Ranger NextGen Roller Shutters
Roller shutters suit owners who want a hard retractable cover but still need the tub open for oversized cargo.
Electric Roller Shutter
The Ford Ranger NextGen electric roller shutter uses interlocking aluminium slats and remote-controlled electric operation. It retracts into a front canister and includes an auto-stop safety feature, integrated drainage channels, LED tub lighting and T-track side rails for compatible accessories.
HERO Lid Manual Roller Shutter
The HERO Lid is UniUte's premium manual shutter for the NextGen Ranger. It uses reinforced aluminium panels, a compact front canister, upgraded drainage and two-way manual operation. It is designed for owners who want hard-cover rigidity without an electric motor.
Standard Manual Roller Shutter
The standard manual roller shutter is the simpler manual alternative. It uses interlocking aluminium slats, integrated locking, drainage channels and T-track side rails while avoiding electric wiring altogether.
For a deeper comparison of Ranger-specific shutter options, see the dedicated Ford Ranger roller shutter guide.
REVOLVER Hard Rolling Tonneau Cover
The REVOLVER hard rolling cover uses aluminium slats with a vinyl top finish and rolls toward the cab for full tub access. It gives the Ranger a low-profile hard-cover option without the front canister of a conventional roller shutter.
The current NextGen fitment is listed for XL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrak, Wildtrak X, Platinum and Raptor variants. As with any rail-mounted accessory, confirm compatibility if your ute already has a sports bar or rack.
Ford Ranger NextGen Hard Lids
Tri-Fold Hard Lid
The tri-fold hard lid uses aluminium panels and clamps to the tub rail. It is designed for NextGen dual-cab models with the standard tub and gives you three folding sections for partial or full access.
Quad-Fold Hard Lid
The quad-fold hard lid adds a fourth folding section for more opening flexibility. The current product is listed for NextGen 2022+ fitment, but always check the live product page for configuration details before ordering.
If you are comparing generations or older Ranger hard-lid fitments, keep those separate from the NextGen range. The PX/PX2/PX3 platform uses different products.
Soft Tonneau Covers
For a lighter and simpler tub-cover option, UniUte currently lists both a soft roll-up tonneau cover and a soft tri-fold tonneau cover for the NextGen Ranger.
These are most suitable when easy removal, low weight and straightforward tub access matter more than the rigid construction of a hard lid, REVOLVER or roller shutter.
Ford Ranger NextGen Canopies
UniUte currently carries both fibreglass and stainless steel canopy options for the NextGen Ranger.
Rather than duplicating the full fitment comparison here, we keep that information in the dedicated Ford Ranger NextGen canopy guide. That article covers canopy-specific fitment and configuration in more detail.
Sliding Tray for Ford Ranger
The Ford Ranger sliding tray is listed across 2012–2026 Ranger fitments, including NextGen. It mounts low in the tub and brings stored cargo toward the tailgate, making heavy or awkward equipment easier to access.
This is particularly useful under a canopy or hard cover where reaching the front of the tub can otherwise be difficult.
Ford Ranger NextGen Swing-Out Tool Box
The swing-out tool box mounts to the tub sidewall and pivots over the open tailgate. It keeps smaller tools and frequently used equipment separate from the main cargo area and can be lifted off its bracket when you need the full tub.
ProLift Tailgate Assist
The ProLift tailgate assist adds a gas strut to control tailgate lowering and reduce lifting effort. It is listed for the NextGen Ranger from 2022 onward and uses the factory hinge area without drilling into the body panels or tailgate skin.
Tailgate Central Locking
The Ford Ranger NextGen tailgate central locking kit integrates the tailgate with the vehicle's existing central locking system, so the tailgate locks and unlocks with the key fob.
The current kit is listed from the 2023 model year onward, including XL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrak and Raptor. Check your build year before ordering.
Recommended Ford Ranger NextGen Setups
For Tradies
An electric roller shutter or HERO Lid combined with a swing-out tool box gives fast access to frequently used tools while keeping the main tub open. Add tailgate central locking if your model year is compatible.
For Touring and Camping
A fibreglass or stainless steel canopy gives full-height enclosed storage. Add a sliding tray if you want easier access to gear stored at the front of the tub.
For Daily Driving
A REVOLVER, tri-fold hard lid, quad-fold hard lid or soft tonneau keeps the tub covered without the extra height of a canopy. The right choice comes down to security, opening style and how often you carry tall or oversized loads.
For Frequent Loading
ProLift makes repeated tailgate operation easier, while a sliding tray reduces how often you need to climb into the tub.

- Confirm your body style and tub configuration.
- Check whether a sports bar, roll bar or rack is already fitted.
