When you’re heading out for a long trip or setting up camp, space on the roof can make all the difference. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack gives you a huge 106" long x 58" wide surface to spread out your load. Its flat, open design handles everything from coolers and tents to kayaks and recovery tracks. With more usable area than standard crossbars or baskets, you can organize gear the way you want instead of trying to make it fit.
When trails get rough and the pavement ends, you want gear that’s as tough as your truck. This platform rack is built from aluminum with reinforced nylon connectors, tested for off-road use and Australian conditions. The powder-coated finish helps resist scuffs and corrosion, so it stays solid through mud, dust, and heavy loads. It’s built to handle real adventure, not just a quick weekend trip down the highway.
Roof gear shouldn’t sound like a wind tunnel every time you hit the road. The low-profile frame of the Pioneer Platform keeps air flowing smoothly over your roofline, cutting down on drag and noise. A detachable wind fairing comes included to help quiet things even more during long drives. You’ll notice less resistance at speed and a cleaner look when everything’s mounted up.
This rack doesn’t limit how you pack. Integrated channels in the planks and frame let you mount awnings, light brackets, shovel holders, spare tire carriers, and other accessories (sold separately). Add the accessory bars (RR33AP – sold separately) to use kayak carriers or cargo boxes right on top. Wiring can even be routed internally through the perimeter of the platform for a clean setup with powered gear.
You don’t need extra parts to get started—the system includes one platform, eight legs, and eight adapters, plus a torque tool set for easy installation and maintenance. Everything clamps securely to the factory rain gutters using custom-fit brackets. And with its solid build and 5-year limited warranty, this rack is ready for years of hauling whatever your next trip demands.

Ratings & Reviews
Outstanding customer service
I will update this accordingly once issues are corrected. Received my Pioneer Platform Rack for my e350 Quigley Van. The box was highly damaged and taped prior to delivery. I unboxed and layed out everything. Missing the entire hardware box- no bolts, nuts, tool, corner pieces, nothing. Contacted E Trailer immediately and was told they would be sending out a complete set of hardware. Shipping on my rack was extremely fast, which is always appreciated. I am hoping that the parts box arrives as quickly so I can get this assembled and update my rating.
Great customer service
Exactly as advertised! I love this rack. I have it on the top of my 2014 E350. No
Rhino rack pioneer platform JA8200 for Land Cruiser 80 Series. Awesome product, aluminum high build quality, low profile and round edge design that matches well with 80 Series's curvy line. I decided on this rack for #1 functional reason, "fitting into my garage" after my rig's been lift and upsized tires. #2 reason is aesthetics fitting the LC80. ARB was too high on profile, other one piece design was too bulky for shipping. Great product. The only minor issue I had was the 80 Series has a bit curvature (~1/4") on rain gutter, with highest point at the middle area. This requires a bit adjusting/playing with foot positioning and use of shimming. eTrailer customer service was great, with Bryan sent me the missing part once notified. Great place to buy with free shipping.
I called etrailer to verify fitment on my 2013 Ford E-350 XL. Everything arrived sooner than quoted, and instructions were clear. It took me approximately 6 hours to assemble by myself. I had 3 buddies over to put it on the van because it is ~100lbs and 100”x62”. We put towels on top of the van and slowly slid the fully assembled rack on top of the van. It took a while to level everything (30 mins?), but overall went on well and looks great.
The instructions didn’t clarify where the C-channel bars are supposed to be spaced to, but I used basic math skills and spaced each C-channel evenly spaced. It feels very strong. I believe it was 33mm on center for each C-Channel.
Looking forward to camping in a few weeks!
