They do an Essentials pack with a roof rack, two sets of flooring and a rear ladder. But it is £1.1k.
That’s what will be going on my new one if I ever get it D4 MY15 SE TECH

My wife said £1k on rack sounded reasonable

D3 gone but never forgotten.
Frontrunner: Aluminium , flat deck, lots of accessories, noisy, Slimline II 300kg (Patriot, Hannibal & Big Country all similar but quieter as load bed slats run front to back, noisy t some lure you n were gut ratings as not t owned any of these latter options). Expect around -2-4 mpg.
Prospeed: Steel, less like adspace, low profile, quiet (don’t notice it’s there), loads of accessories, 250kg weight rating, negligible impact on mpg (i’m On my 2nd, see below).

Cargo Bear: New ish to market, modular& not cheap (site sponsor Leeds the man to chat to).

You've all missed one
Britpart on mine, aluminium construction, really quiet haven't noticed mpg drop, been on 18 months now, steel racks are no good for me ad they rust out too quick.
Best pick I've got of it, plus all the groves in it take a standard m8 bolt so no special fixings needed.
