The Ultimate Setup for Your Super Duty Tray, Canopy or Service Body

With the 2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty heading to Australian roads, the conversation isn’t just about the ute itself—it’s about how you’ll set it up. And let’s be honest: this a build-it-right, build-it-once kind of rig.

Whether you’re a tradesperson looking for maximum functionality, a fleet manager planning multi-vehicle rollouts, or a 4×4 nut building a do-it-all machine, you’ll want a setup that makes full use of what the Super Duty has to offer.

At Trojan Canopies, we’re already in the works designing aluminium trays, custom canopies, and modular service bodies to suit the Super Duty’s heavy-duty frame. In this article, we’ll walk through what you need to consider before committing to your build—and how to get it dialled in.

Step 1: Start With the Job (or Lifestyle)

Before you spec anything, ask: what do I need this rig to do?

For Tradies and Commercial Use:

• Ample secure storage
• Easy access to tools and consumables
• Weather protection and dustproofing
• On-board power and lighting
• Signwriting and compliance requirements

For Off-Road and Touring:

• Rooftop tent or camper integration
• Slide-out kitchen or fridge
• Water tanks, solar inputs, and 12V systems
• Spare wheel carriers, recovery gear storage
• Dust sealing and tie-down flexibility

Your ideal setup depends on your answer.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Tray

A custom aluminium tray isn’t just about looks—it’s about strength, weight, and usable space.

Trojan trays for the Ford Ranger Super Duty will include:

• Removable drop sides for versatility between work and load space
• Flared guards to handle off-road clearance
• Underbody toolboxes for secure storage
• Large trundle drawer for long items or gear
• LED tail lights and sensor relation

We’re also working on Super Duty-specific fitment to ensure optimal weight distribution and compatibility with eight-stud hubs.

Step 3: Locking in a Canopy That Works

A Trojan aluminium canopy takes your build from good to game-changing. Our canopies are known for being:

• Flush-floor ready – no false floors needed
• Dustproof and weather sealed
• Customisable via internal uni-strut channels on floor, wall and roof
• Ladder and roof rack compatible
• Removable via lift-off points

Whether you’re going with a 1400mm canopy for towing clearance or an 1800mm setup for max storage, we’ll have the options to suit your goals.

Step 4: Service Bodies for Professional Use

If you’re in the field day in, day out, a chassis-mount service body might be the smarter play.

Benefits include:

• Fully enclosed workspace
• Modular drawer and shelving systems
• Lockable external access
• Integrated power, lights, and inverter systems
• Compliant weight distribution and axle loading

We’ll offer service body designs made to match the Super Duty chassis with smart layouts that keep gear organised and accessible.

Step 5: Power and Accessories

Think beyond the shell. The power system can make or break your build:

• Weekend power panels with solar input, USBs, 240V inverter
• Bushman or Dometic upright fridge and cage system
• Interior lighting and battery monitoring
• Roof rack systems for roof top tents or trade use
• Jerry can and spare wheel holders

If you want a truly self-sufficient rig, we’ll help spec the power to match.

Step 6: Future-Proofing Your Setup

The Ford Ranger Super Duty is built to last—so your tray or canopy should be too. That’s why Trojan Canopies focuses on:

• Internal uni-strut framework for modularity
• Replaceable panels and accessories, because accidents happen
• Universal fitting points for drawers, shelves, and dividers
• Powder coated aluminium finishes for longevity

It means that if your needs change, your build can adapt.

Step 7: Compliance & Licensing

Thanks to its 4,500kg GVM, the Super Duty maxes out what’s allowed under a standard car licence—no truck ticket required. But to stay compliant:

• Ensure your build keeps axle loadings within limits
• Account for tare weight with fit-outs included
• Confirm towing loads and downball limits
• Install rated tie-downs and recovery points if towing or hauling heavy

Trojan Canopies builds are designed with all of this in mind—and our national fitters can ensure it’s done by the book.

Step 8: Nationwide Support

We know that downtime kills productivity. That’s why Trojan Canopies national network of dealers and fitters makes it easy to:

• Get advice on the right setup for your location or trade
• Book installs and upgrades locally
• Access after-sales service, parts, and warranty

No matter where your Super Duty ends up, we’ve got your back.
