The Ranger’s bed is the real MVP in boosting utility, versatility, and convenience. You can rev up your Polaris Ranger experience by accessorizing for anything from storage and protection to convenience. From sturdy cargo boxes to cooler racks to convenient tool holders, here’s a roundup of the top 10 Polaris Ranger bed accessories you won’t want to miss.
1. Cargo Nets and Tie-down Anchors
Loose items can be hazardous, creating distractions or accidents during your ride. Anchors and cargo nets provide a simple solution, stretching over your items to hold them securely in place even when riding rough terrain. For added security, tie-down anchors from market leaders like GripPRO ATV Anchors are necessary and indispensable.
Designed to fit snugly into your Ranger’s Lock & Ride holes, these expanding anchors offer unparalleled versatility. As you tighten the anchor, the blue expansion plug grips the sides of the hole, ensuring your cargo stays put no matter the conditions. Crafted predominantly in the US, these anchors epitomize reliability and durability.

2. Cargo Bed Mat
Second on our list of Polaris Ranger accessories is the cargo bed mat. Although jolts and jostles are all part of the off-road experience, your Ranger’s bed doesn’t have to suffer. Offering a buffer between your gear and the Ranger’s bed, a quality cargo bed mat minimizes dents and scratches from heavy or sharp items.
It also provides stability. The mat’s non-slip surface latches onto your gear, keeping it from sliding around, even on bumpy trails. Regardless of how much the terrain decides to toss your Ranger around, the mat ensures your cargo stays firmly in place.
This dynamic duo of protection and stability gives you peace of mind, turning potential worries about your gear into an afterthought. As a result, your off-road adventures become more about the thrill of the ride and the beauty of the wild.
3. Lock and Ride Storage Box
Off-roading is all about exploration and adventure, and you’ll need the right gear to make the most of it. However, keeping your gear secure and organized can be a challenge. The lock-and-ride storage box is an adventurer’s best friend, especially when going on long rides.
Designed for the Polaris Ranger’s bed, this secure storage box lets you neatly organize your tools and equipment, keeping them safe and readily accessible. Its Lock and Ride technology ensures the box stays firmly in place even on the bumpiest trails.
Made from durable materials, most storage boxes can withstand the elements, protecting your gear from dust, weather, and more. From tools to essential gear, your lock and ride storage box enhances cargo safety and organization, freeing you to focus on what truly matters… enjoying the ride.
4. Gun Mounting Bracket or Scabbard
For hunters, a secure and protective gun scabbard is a must. Safely transporting your weapons ensures you’re safe during the ride, enhancing your peace of mind. It also ensures the integrity of the equipment, which is why you need to invest in best-in-class accessories like gun scabbards.
A high-quality scabbard stows your firearms away safely, reducing the risk of accidental discharges. It also protects the weapons from the elements during those long rides in the open.
However, protection is just one-half of the issue. The weapons must also be accessible. That’s why you need a high-quality mounting bracket. A well-designed gun mounting bracket provides a dedicated spot for your scabbard, keeping it firmly in place and within easy reach. Together, the mounting bracket and scabbard offer the perfect blend of safety, protection, and accessibility to improve your off-road experience.
5. Lock and Ride Bed Extender/Divider
One of the most important Polaris Ranger accessories. A Polaris Ranger bed extender/divider is a two-in-one game-changer for your cargo needs. This practical and versatile addition allows you to optimize your cargo space effectively.
By design, your Polaris Ranger’s tailgate is not all that strong when fully extended. At least, not strong long enough to haul large items. A bed extender/divider supports the tailgate and helps increase the Ranger’s bed capacity.
As a bed extender, it lets you expand the rear of your cargo box beyond the tailgate, offering much-needed extra space for larger items or additional gear. When you flip it around, it doubles up as a bed divider, allowing you to create separate compartments for your cargo. This helps keep your gear organized, making everything easy to locate and saving you precious time on your adventures.
Featuring Lock & Ride technology, you can easily install or remove this accessory in seconds, with no tools required. It also comes with multiple tie-down points, allowing you to install it anywhere within the box. Built to last, this bed extender/divider is made from durable steel and sports a powder-coated finish for extra protection. This makes it a robust, easy-to-use solution that makes it simpler to manage your cargo while withstanding the rigors of off-roading.
6. Spare Tire Carrier
You might not need it, but it’s best to keep this on your list of Polaris Ranger accessories! A spare tire is an absolute must-have when going off-road. The trails are unpredictable, which is part of their charm, but operators need constant preparedness and vigilance. No matter how often you’ve ridden a particular trail, you can’t be sure what to expect and must always prepare for the worst. And as the saying goes, “Two is one and one is none,” especially when you’re miles away from the nearest service station. That’s where the spare tire carrier comes in.
Custom-built for your Polaris Ranger, the spare tire carrier offers a secure and accessible spot for your essential backup. Strategically mounted on the Ranger’s bed but transported outside the vehicle, the carrier ensures your spare tire is always within reach but never in the way. This frees up precious space in your Ranger’s bed and also keeps the tire away from your gear, protecting both.
High-quality spare tire carriers have incrementally adjustable straps, allowing them to securely hold any size spare. Be it as big as your primary tires or a compact emergency option, you can trust the carrier to keep it safe and steady.
7. Cargo Bed Winch
Off-roading, farming, or industrial use can lead to heavy-lifting situations. If you’ve ever struggled with hoisting a bulky item into your Ranger’s bed, a cargo bed rear winch is your answer.
Engineered to simplify heavy lifting, it’s a valuable companion for farmers hauling hay bales or hunters transporting big game. With a generous 300 lb. capacity, it easily handles hefty tasks.
The brilliance lies in its placement. Mounted high on the rear cab frame, the winch utilizes leverage efficiently. This intelligent design enables it to lift heavy loads effortlessly, eliminating manual strain and the risk of damage to your cargo bed.
Say goodbye to grueling loading sessions. The cargo bed rear winch turns a cumbersome process into a quick and effortless task. Your Ranger’s capabilities soar with this handy addition, saving energy and time.
Whether it’s work or play, the cargo bed rear winch enhances your Ranger’s utility. It ensures your off-road adventures are about enjoying the journey, not wrestling with cargo.
8. Fuel Pack Mount
Long off-road adventures bring unexpected twists, so keep this on your must-have Polaris Ranger accessories if you’re going on long trips. Your fuel gauge dips precariously low, a scenario every rider dreads. That’s why you need a fuel pack mount before you set off.
Primed for long journeys, the mount provides a safe and secure haven for additional fuel. Just when your tank teeters on empty, your reserve is within arm’s reach. A smooth ride continues, with the landscape unfolding instead of an unplanned end to the ride.
Crafted to accommodate standard fuel packs, these mounts merge seamlessly with your Polaris Ranger. They ensure the fuel pack sits sturdily, immune to the rough-and-tumble of the trail. Including straps, they double down on security, keeping the precious cargo fastened tightly in place.
The fuel pack mount gives you peace of mind invaluable on off-road journeys. It’s not merely an accessory; it’s a safety net that keeps you moving when you’re miles away from the nearest fuel station.
9. Polaris Ranger Rear Cooler/Cargo Box
Few things are as alluring as the promise of a cold drink during a scorching day out in the wild. The trusty rear cooler/cargo box fulfills this promise perfectly. While simplicity is key, a well-built cooler/cargo box doesn’t skimp on features. For example, let’s look at the Polaris Ranger Full-Size Rear Cooler/Cargo Box.
Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, this two-in-one accessory marries practicality and convenience. On the one hand, it operates as an insulated cooler, maintaining the freshness of your food and drinks amid your wild adventures. This is the secret to enjoying that perfectly chilled drink or preserving the integrity of a well-deserved meal, even in the heart of the wilderness.
On the other hand, it doubles up as a cargo box, providing ample space for your gear. Its thoughtful design ensures it occupies only one side of your box, leaving plenty of room for other essentials. It’s about maximizing space, allowing you to carry more and travel further.
Expect heavy-duty latches for secure closure, drain plugs for easy cleaning, and a lockable design for added security. High-quality models even sport a protective rubber gasket, keeping the cold in and the mud out.
Additionally, the installation process is straightforward and quick, ensuring the cooler/cargo box attaches securely to your Ranger’s bed. Beyond providing added storage space, it enhances the riding experience, bringing along the comfort of home to wherever you find yourself. In short, this cooler box isn’t just a functional accessory. It’s an extension of your adventurous spirit, ensuring your journey is as enjoyable as the destination.
10. Polaris Ranger Bed Rails
A rugged look is part and parcel of the off-roading charm, and few accessories do it better than bed rails. These sturdy additions enhance the aesthetic appeal of your Ranger, complementing its robust nature with a hint of rugged elegance.
These Polaris Ranger accessories serve a practical function too. They provide multiple additional tie-down points, amplifying your cargo-securing capabilities. This means more stability for your loads, regardless of the trail’s roughness or the driving speed.
