When you’re packing for a long trip or loading up for the trail, limited roof space can hold you back. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform gives you a huge 83" long x 56" wide surface that handles cargo of all shapes and sizes. The flat deck design makes it simple to strap down coolers, tents, or gear boxes side by side. It’s built to take on real adventure loads without the awkward balancing act you get from smaller racks.
Rough terrain can shake ordinary racks loose, but the integrated Backbone mounting system keeps this platform steady. It bolts through factory mounting points to create a solid connection from rack to roof. With this setup, your gear stays secure even when the road disappears into dirt and rock. It’s made for off-road use and tested to hold up under Australian conditions.
Long highway drives can get noisy when wind catches your rack. The Pioneer Platform’s low-profile shape and detachable wind fairing help cut down on drag and whistling. The aerodynamic design doesn’t just make it quieter—it also helps your vehicle move more smoothly through the air, so you can focus on the drive instead of the noise.
No matter what the weekend calls for—kayaks, light bars, shovels, or spare tires—this platform is ready. Built-in channels across the planks and frame fit a wide range of Rhino-Rack accessories (sold separately). You can even route wiring internally through the perimeter for a clean setup. Add accessory bars (RR33AP – sold separately) to mount your kayak carriers or cargo boxes when you want even more flexibility.
Hard use and rough weather are no match for this rack’s construction. The aluminum frame is powder coated for protection, and reinforced nylon connectors add toughness without extra weight. It’s designed for durability, scuff resistance, and dependable performance trip after trip. With its 5-year limited warranty, it’s a platform built to go anywhere your adventures take you.

I love this roof rack! Since I purchased it, I also purchased the eye bolts for the rack and have used them numerous times over the past year. I have been able to move many different things on top of the rack. At this point, Im looking at possible getting the side guards in the near future.

The rack is still doing great! No issues and the mounting system is holding up well even under some harsh off-roading conditions.
