To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When you need space for gear that doesn’t fit inside the vehicle, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack gives you a big, usable surface that’s 51" long x 56" wide. The flat, open design handles cargo of all shapes and sizes—perfect for coolers, recovery boards, water jugs, or even a rooftop tent. It’s built to carry more and keep everything within easy reach for road trips, tailgating, or overlanding weekends.
Wind noise can make highway drives tiring, especially when carrying gear up top. The Pioneer Platform’s low-profile shape and detachable wind fairing help cut down on drag and airflow noise. That means a calmer cabin and better fuel efficiency while you’re cruising to your next campsite or trailhead.
The platform’s integrated channels in both the planks and outer frame make it easy to mount accessories like awnings, light brackets, shovel holders, or spare tire carriers. Add accessory bars (RR33AP – sold separately) if you want to run kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or other roof rack gear. Everything locks into place cleanly without needing extra brackets or adapters.
Built specifically for off-road use and tested for Australian conditions, this rack’s aluminum frame and reinforced nylon connectors are made to handle demanding terrain. The powder coated finish resists scuffs and corrosion so it stays looking sharp after years of use. Spacer blocks level the platform on uneven surfaces, and a torque tool set is included for straightforward assembly.
For a solid setup that won’t shift under load, the system installs using ditch brackets that create permanent fixed mounting points on your roof. Quick Mount legs lock into these brackets for reliable support. Once installed, you’ve got a durable foundation ready for anything your next trip calls for.

Ratings & Reviews
Have a 2019 Nv3500. Work’s absolutely perfect. Mounted right up to stock brackets. Holds two kayaks and extras for trips.
First of all congratulations to E-Trailer on the shipping. I ordered my pioneer platform and the full rail kit at the same time. The rail kit was not in stock and had to be shipped from the manufacturer. Worried that the shipment might not make it time for my upcoming desert trip, I called etrailer and voiced my concerns. Long story short, I was given a ship date that wouldn’t have given me much time for the install and I ended up getting it four days earlier. Super easy to install and very strong. I’ll have to give a follow up review after I put it work in the coming weeks.
