I suspect that a lot of folks are interested in learning more about the forthcoming bumpers from Rago, and so am I, but I've been enamored with they chase rack since they released it, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Initial thoughts below.
Build quality is superb - the welds and finish look great. The main utility here is lighting, of course, but it does have molle panels with rotopax mounts to leverage as you see fit. Installation is simply two u-bolts, which for me is great as I'll be removing this for trips where I tow our camper. Other than that scenario, range isn't a significant factor for me - I have a number of other aftermarket parts that likely ding my range, so it's probably not useful for me to speculate on the effects of this rack+lights on range. Additional wind noise is negligible but this may depend on the type of lighting you put on it. The upper portion of the truck bed camera is obscured by the rack (see picture). Rago notes this in their listing and it's not an issue for me personally.
I haven't wired up the lights on the rack yet - if anyone wants to share a best practice for running wiring from the frunk where I have my Garmin Powerswitch to the truck bed (perhaps up through power tonneau cavity?), I'm all ears!
