Dometic, a global leader in outdoor technology, announced the launch of the all-new Slimline 3 Roof Rack, the first of several new products in the Dometic Front Runner Series.
Built on decades of engineering expertise, real-world testing and adventure experience, the Dometic Front Runner Series brings together a range of trusted premium products designed to help adventurers go further, carry more and explore the next unknown with confidence, Dometic said. The release of Slimline 3 Roof Rack exemplifies that philosophy, highlighting Dometic’s ongoing focus on innovation, durability and smart design.
Combining Swedish innovation with design and testing in South Africa, the Slimline 3 Roof Rack has been engineered for those who demand uncompromising performance in the world’s harshest environments, the company said. It combines next-generation engineering with practical functionality to deliver the most advanced, lightest and toughest roof rack system Dometic has ever produced.
The key features of the Slimline 3:
The Slimline 3 introduces a range of significant engineering advancements to improve strength, modularity, usability and overall adventure-readiness, Dometic said.
Modularity
Individual slats can be added or removed without dismantling the rack structure. Adjustable slat pitch allows real-time gear customization while still maintaining full structural stability.
Next-Generation Slat Architecture
A completely redesigned slat profile delivers greater strength and stiffness while remaining lightweight. The result is a stronger, more capable platform built to withstand demanding conditions. Integrated dual T-slots offer greater flexibility for mounting gear, rack accessories and adventure equipment exactly where they are needed.
A Range of Accessories
A wide range of accessories available to prep Slimline 3 Roof Rack for any adventure. This rack is compatible with all Dometic’s top-mount rack accessories. There is also a range of Slimline 3-specific rack accessories.
Low-Profile Design
With a 20% lower overall profile than the Slimline II, the Slimline 3 helps reduce wind resistance and noise while improving aesthetics and vehicle integration. The flat platform lacks a perimeter lip, thereby simplifying the loading process, Dometic said.
Built-in Tie-Down System
Standardized tie-down points are integrated into each of the rack’s four corners for instant security.
Integrated Wire Routing
Concealed wiring channels create a cleaner installation and simplify the integration of lighting, power systems and other accessories.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction
High-strength 3CR12 stainless-steel sheet-metal parts and black-coated stainless-steel fasteners provide outstanding durability, long-lasting performance and a sleek, stealthy look in tough environments.
Easy-Release Mounting System
A proprietary mounting system enables easier removal and reinstallation while preserving vehicle integrity, roof seal and simplifying maintenance.
A Platform Built on Proven Adventure Heritage
Built on Dometic’s legacy and Front Runner’s expedition performance, the Dometic Front Runner Series offers a unified, connected solution for adventure gear designed for tough conditions, the company said. It integrates roof racks, storage, rack accessories, camping equipment and future innovations into a single platform.
Each Dometic Front Runner Series product is designed to work seamlessly together, enabling customers to build complete adventure ecosystems.
The Slimline 3 Roof Rack represents the first expression of this philosophy and demonstrates the direction of future product development across the Dometic Front Runner Series. Soon, customers will be able to choose a Front Runner Series product for all their serious adventure gear needs, Dometic said.
Leadership Perspective
“Slimline 3 reflects our commitment to continuous innovation and our belief that adventure equipment should evolve alongside the people who use it,” said Gerhard Hartzenberg, head of Dometic Vehicle Outfitters.
“By combining intelligent engineering, premium materials and real-world testing, we have created a roof rack that is stronger, lighter, smarter and more capable than ever before. It is built to help adventurers tackle whatever lies ahead.”
