Packing for a trip? This 95-inch-long DEK platform mounts to factory roof points with no drilling, and frees up storage in your cabin. The included light bar throws light ahead without hood glare, so the next curve doesn't come out of nowhere.
When you're trying to carry bigger gear, drilling into your roof and guessing placement can feel like a big step. This DEK platform mounts to your vehicle's fixed factory points, so you can add a full rooftop platform without drilling. The result is a clean, low-profile fit, and you've skipped the "hope it works" feeling that comes with drilling holes.
The platform gives you a flat, sturdy place to strap down bulky gear for trips and weekend runs. It's built with metal construction and stainless steel hardware, and it's rated for up to 300 lbs, so you know exactly what your rack can handle. Just make sure you follow your vehicle manufacturer's roof load rating too, and use the lower of the two limits when you're loading up. The payoff is simple: gear stays out of the cabin, and unloading at the trailhead or campsite feels organized instead of chaotic.
You can strap down your gear and call it good, but the integrated T-channels let you add mounts and adjust your setup as the seasons change. That means you can mount compatible bike, kayak, ski, and snowboard racks, including the Kuat Piston SR (KU32VR - sold separately), and keep your gear locked in without eating up space inside your vehicle.
This rack includes the DEK light bar, built with Diode Dynamics C2 Pro LED pods in a custom housing. The beam is shaped to throw light over your hood instead of washing back into your eyes, so you get usable light out front without fighting glare in your line of sight. With five driving pods throwing light ahead, the next curve, dip, or animal doesn't come out of nowhere. Imagine pulling into a trailhead or campsite at dusk and flipping on the roof-mounted pods - suddenly you can see what you're doing while you unload, strap down, or set up. Instead of fumbling with headlamps or working in your headlights' shadows, you get bright, usable light out front that makes the whole stop feel easier.
The adjustable crossbars let you shift placement to clear your sunroof and antenna, so you can keep the platform on your roof without giving up the open-sunroof drive on a nice day. You can also position your mounts where they work best for your gear.
