This isn't just a platform rack - it's a foundation for overlanders to push the limits. Rugged and adaptable, it thrives in the backcountry. This rack is built to tackle rocky trails, haul rooftop tents and gear, and support your basecamp.
The roads you travel aren't smooth, but this platform thrives on rough terrain. Its reinforced alloy frame withstands heavy loads, and the high static load rating means you can set up camp with confidence, knowing your gear is secure.
Your setup can change when you invest in more gear, and this rack is ready for all of it. T-slot channels stretch across the entire surface, allowing you to mount rooftop tents, awnings, cargo boxes, and more exactly where you need them. The crossbeam channels add even more flexibility, so you're never stuck with a one-size-fits-all setup.
No shifting, no wobbling - just a secure, weight-distributing foundation. This system integrates seamlessly with Rhino-Rack's Backbone system, ensuring an even load spread and a tight, stable fit that holds strong on highways and rugged trails alike.
Forget noisy, clunky racks that sap your gas mileage. The sleek, low-profile design slices through wind to help keep your ride efficient and quiet.
Mother Nature doesn't play nice all the time. This rack's tough coating resists scratches, scuffs, and UV damage, ensuring it stands strong through desert heat, mountain snow, and endless miles of adventure.
Lights, antennas, solar panels - whatever powers your journey, this rack keeps your setup clean. Built-in wiring channels let you route cables neatly and safely, avoiding the usual mess of zip ties and exposed wires. Professional-grade function with rugged practicality.

A+ in my grade book. Product arrived unscathed and as described. Shipping was expedient. Many thanks.
Excellent product. Great quality, design and look ! Very happy with my purchase.
Top notch customer service from Danielle! Package arrived on time, complete, and damage free! Assembly/installation time was about 4 hours. Extremely happy.
The rack is very sturdy and easy to install,however the wind noise is loud. Hopefully adding the wind fairing will solve this issue
Product arrived quickly and was in perfect condition. Thank you etrailer for having this available when so many others don't and the excellent customer service to back it up!
The rack is top notch and sturdy. Perhaps just as important the customer service from etrailer is excellent. They answered all my questions and were very helpful.
Thank you for the order. First time buyer at etrailer. Process was quick, customer support messaging was very informative along the way.
Product Itself
1. Definitely need to read the manual which was included in the packages and provided electronically by etrailer.
2. If you follow the manual, should be no problems, but pay attention to detail.
3. Budget 3 hours total duration at a casual install pace.
Quality built to tight tolerances. Easy to follow instructions with plenty of on-line videos to help with the installation. Don't hesitate to buy this better designed / better built / better looking roof rack.
Got this rack for my 4Runner because I knew I was going to be hauling stuff around heavier than the stock rack could handle. The Rhino rack was really easy to install and has paid for itself a number of times already. And it looks great.
Perfect. So many accessories and applications. Can customize things to fit. I think its the best choice. etrailer was amazing when I had some issues with shipping to Canada. Will purchase from etrailer again for sure!
Tough, easy to install, excellent platform for all my things (cargo box, two bikes for now) and flexibility for the future. Next up, KC Highlights mounted on the front. Well worth the money for fit and finish.
I almost never write reviews. However, I will make an exception this time. This is my third order with etrailer.com. The previous two were straight forward. This one was not. I was ordering a roof rack for my 200 series Land Cruiser. There were several concerns I had with it. Emily went to the manufacturer to sort out areas I was concerned about. She called me back within 30 minutes with accurate information. I would not have spent the $1,400 on the rack with out the specifics. It was nice not having to do all the research on my own, and getting significant help was a gift. Much appreciated! Hence the review.
The rhino rack pioneer setup with the backbone mount is a fantastic roof rack system.
Ordering super easy, shipping was very fast (doesn't happen so much during covid).
Wish you would sell the wider so that rack fit over sides of vehicle better.
Make certain to measure where the crossbars mount to the vehicle in millimeters. Being off by 1/8 inch on front bar means the back wont align at all. Other than that the instructions were perfect. There weren't any pictures nor much in the manuals about this alignment step (only the on line you tubes briefly touched on it).
I would buy one more long piece & 2 wider end pieces so that the entire rack fit OVER the sides of SUV, but could not get anyone to sell me that option.
Way more of a pain to install than I expected. Assembly of the platform was really easy. But putting on the rails was tricky given the space to screw in. And attaching the platform to the rails was a pain. However after installation, I love this rack. It whistles a bit but I don't have the wind break. It's great for hauling but I appreciate more a place to just chill and enjoy the scenery when I stop in the wilderness. I bought this specifically to install a Bundutop tent. Haven't got it yet but this platform will be perfect for it.
