The Dometic Front Runner Series is the culmination of decades of engineering know-how and hard-won experience in the field. It is a collection of premium, trusted products meant to give an adventurer the confidence to carry more and venture into uncharted territory. With the introduction of the Slimline 3, Dometic is putting its money where its mouth is on innovation, durability and smart design.

Engineered in South Africa and infused with Swedish innovation, the Slimline 3 is for those who will not compromise on performance, no matter how harsh the environment. It is the most advanced, lightest and toughest roof rack system we have put our name to, marrying practical functionality with next-generation engineering.

A Platform Built on Proven Adventure Heritage

What you get with the Dometic Front Runner Series is a connected solution for your gear. We have integrated roof racks, storage, camping equipment and future innovations into one platform so that each product works in concert with the others. Our customers can build out a complete adventure ecosystem as opposed to making do with standalone pieces. The Slimline 3 is the first to embody this approach and sets the tone for what is to follow in the series.

“Slimline 3 is a testament to our belief that your equipment should evolve with you,” says Gerhard Hartzenberg, Head of Dometic Vehicle Outfitters at Dometic. “We have combined real-world testing with premium materials and intelligent engineering to make a roof rack that is stronger, lighter and smarter than anything before it. It is there to help you deal with whatever comes your way.”

The Slimline 3 at a Glance

There are some notable engineering changes with the Slimline 3 that speak to its strength and modularity.

Unrivalled Modularity – You can add or take away individual slats without having to dismantle the rack. The pitch is adjustable so you can customise your gear on the fly without losing structural stability.

Next-Generation Slat Architecture – We have reworked the slat profile for a platform with more stiffness and strength but less weight. Integrated dual T-slots put mounting options for accessories right where they are needed.

Low-Profile Design – At 20 per cent lower than the Slimline II, the new rack cuts down on wind noise and resistance while looking better on the vehicle. The flat platform has no perimeter lip to get in the way when loading up.

Premium Corrosion-Resistant Construction – For a sleek, stealthy appearance that stands up to the elements, we have used high-strength 3CR12 stainless-steel sheet metal and black-coated fasteners.

Easy-Release Mounting System – Our proprietary system makes for simpler maintenance and allows you to remove and reinstall the rack while leaving the vehicle’s roof seal and integrity intact.

Integrated Wire Routing – Concealed channels keep the installation clean and make it straightforward to hook up power systems and lighting.

Huge Range of Accessories – Whether you need something specific to the Slimline 3 or any of our top-mount accessories, we have you covered.

Built-in Tie-Down System – Each of the four corners has standardised tie-down points for quick security.

Availability

Pre-orders for the Slimline 3 open on 20 August 2026, with the first units to be shipped in October of that year. The system is made to fit a number of vehicles including the Ford Ranger Double Cab (P703) and Super Duty, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250, 4Runner 6th Gen (N500), and Hilux Double Cab (8th/9th Gen).
