Is drilling required to install Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Rack on 2017 Nissan NV 3500?
Updated 08/08/2022 | Published 08/05/2022
Question:
I am looking at the Rhino Rack Roof Rack for our Nissian NV 3500. The vehicle already had mounting spots for a roof rack. Will this rack mount to those factory mounts directly without having to drill into the roof? Thanks

Expert Reply:
You are correct! The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR73QX you were looking at simply attaches to your 2017 Nissan NV 3500's naked roof by means of the factory ditches. You will not need to drill into the roof as the included brackets and hardware are designed specifically for your vehicle's roof.
I attached a demonstration video for the roof rack, along with a snip-it of the instructions for the ditch brackets.
