Carry More, Worry Less: Large, Flat 59" x 49" Platform

When you’re packing for a big trip or loading up for a day on the water, space can run out fast. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack gives you a large, flat surface—59" long x 49" wide—to handle everything from coolers and camping gear to kayaks and cargo boxes. The open layout makes it easy to secure loads of all shapes and sizes, so you’re not wrestling with awkward crossbars or uneven baskets.

Built for Long Roads and Rough Trails: Rugged, Off-Road-Ready Construction

Hauling gear off the beaten path demands strength that won’t quit. This aluminum platform rack is powder coated and reinforced with nylon connectors for durability and scuff-resistance. It’s been tested for Australian conditions, so you know it can take on dirt roads, changing weather, and heavy hauling. Whether you’re chasing campsites or heading into the backcountry, this rack stands up to the challenge.

Keep It Quiet and Efficient: Low-Profile Aerodynamic Design

Highway wind noise can make long drives drag on. The low-profile shape of this platform cuts down on drag and wind sound while helping your vehicle stay more stable on the road. A detachable wind fairing adds another layer of quiet to your drive, so you can focus on the miles ahead instead of the hum above.

Ready for Every Adventure: Integrated Channels for Accessories

From kayaks to awnings to light brackets, this platform is ready for whatever gear your trip calls for. Integrated channels in the planks and frame fit a wide range of Rhino-Rack accessories (sold separately), and wiring from lights or other add-ons can be routed through the platform’s perimeter for a clean setup. Add accessory bars (RR33AP - sold separately) when you want to mount kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or other roof rack gear—all in one modular system that grows with your adventures.

Quick Setup and Reliable Hold: Custom Installation with Torque Tool

No one wants to fight with their gear before the trip even starts. The included torque tool helps make installation simple and precise. SX legs clamp securely to your flush side rails for a custom fit that feels solid every time you load up. Once it’s set, you get a stable base you can trust mile after mile—backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
