Features to know about

Handle Bigger Loads with Ease: Large, Flat 59" x 54" Platform

When you’ve got bulky gear that won’t sit right on narrow crossbars, a wide, solid surface makes all the difference. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform gives you a 59" long x 54" wide x 1-3/4" tall base to stack and strap down whatever your trip calls for. The flat layout handles everything from coolers and camping bins to tents and recovery boards without awkward angles or shifting loads.

Pack It All, Your Way: Multiple Channel Mounting Points

Trips are easier when your rack works with the gear you already own. This platform has integrated channels in the planks and frame that fit a range of Rhino-Rack accessories like awnings, light brackets, shovel holders, spare tire carriers, and more. You can also add accessory bars (RR33AP - sold separately) to mount kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or other roof rack gear. The channels give you flexible tie-down points so your setup fits exactly how you want it.

Stay Steady on the Trail: Rugged Off-Road Construction

Off-road conditions can shake loose anything that’s not built tough. The aluminum frame on this platform is powder coated and reinforced with nylon connectors for durability and scuff resistance. It’s designed for off-road use and tested for Australian conditions, so it holds steady over washboard roads, sand tracks, and long highway runs alike.

Cut Down on Drag and Noise: Low-Profile Aerodynamic Design

No one enjoys the constant hum of wind at highway speeds. The platform’s low-profile shape helps reduce wind noise and drag, while the detachable wind fairing smooths airflow across the front edge. It keeps the ride quieter and more efficient whether you’re hauling gear or driving with an empty rack.

Simple Setup and Maintenance: Clamp-On Legs with Included Torque Tool

Installing a sturdy platform shouldn’t mean a weekend in the garage. The included SX legs clamp to raised side rails for a custom fit, and the torque tool set helps get everything tightened just right. Once it’s on, you can route wiring internally through the perimeter for clean accessory installs or remove the fairing for quick access where needed—all without extra hassle.
