There is one option for a platform rack that will fit your 2021 Honda Pilot with flush-mounted rails, and give you the off-road look and capability you want. And it will not interfere with your sunroof either, so long as the sunroof retracts into your roof as opposed to jutting upwards. The rack that fits your '21 Pilot is from Yakima and is made up of the following:
- Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y05045
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- LockNLoad SL Adapter # Y05042-2
- Landing Pad 19 # Y00245
- Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204
The lock cores are recommended because they will lock the towers to your Honda, protecting your investemnt. The LockNLoad has the ability to carry all kinds of cargo or accessories. You can add the Perimeter Rail Kit # Y05056 for tie-down points, or you can add things like the Yakima HD Hook Straps with Cam Buckles # Y01165 or Eye Bolts # Y01162.
I have added links to a number of video reviews of these parts for you to check out as well.
