OZK Customs + Backwoods DRIFTR Ladder

About the DRIFTR Ladder for Sprinter/Transit

If you are upfitting a true, non-stealth adventure van, likely you know you want a roof rack, and likely you also know you won’t just be able to reach up there to retrieve your gear. (We say non-stealth because a roof rack and a ladder are dead giveaways that your Transit or Sprinter is a cool adventure rig and not just a cargo van…) A side-mount ladder can be a key safety and convenience feature to access your van’s roof, whether to mount gear, to sit on your deck (Yes, roof decks are a thing!) or to perform maintenance on solar panels, AC systems, and more.

The sturdy DRIFTR Ladder from Backwoods Adventure Mods is a side-mount ladder for Sprinter, Transit, and Promaster vans, designed to attach securely and easily to the DRIFTR Roof Rack. You choose where you want this ladder mounted – it will need to be on the opposite side of your side door, but apart from that can be mounted wherever you desire on the roof rack rails. The Sprinter ladder is designed to work for high roof Sprinter vans from 2015 on, in 144, 170, and 170 EXT lengths. The Ford Transit ladder can be ordered for mid or high roof models made after 2015, in 148 and 148 EXT lengths.

Crafted from aluminum, with black, textured powder-coating, this ladder fits the modern, sleek but rugged Backwoods Adventure Mods look, and won’t weigh down your van like a steel ladder might. It is thoughtfully designed with deep steps with anti-slip notches at the edge of each step, so you can think about the gear you are carrying down, and not if you’ll slip on the next step. This is a sturdy, attractive ladder that will upgrade your van’s look and provide you easy and safe access to anything stored on your roof.
