Hello Harold. Yes, it is possible to mount a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform to the Thule Xsporter Low # TH24QC. The Thule Xsporter crossbars have a top channel, so you can use the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF since this includes hardware to mount the platform to the top channel.

I have the rhino rack basket not the pioneer platform. I didn’t realize I had asked about the platform. So I guess my question is will the basket mount to the Thule cross bars that come with the xsporter?

@HaroldT Hey Harold, I just looked at your order from earlier this year and saw you ordered the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket part # RMCB02. This will unfortunately not work with the Thule Xsporter. The Rhino Rack basket will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/4" tall. The Xsporter bars are too big they are 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" tall.

@HaroldT Hey Harold I just noticed your order right after I sent that first response. I just want to make sure you see this: I just looked at your order from earlier this year and saw you ordered the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket part # RMCB02. This will unfortunately not work with the Thule Xsporter. This Rhino Rack basket will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/4" tall. The Xsporter bars are too big they are 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" tall. You could always measure the brackets on your basket to be sure, but the information we have shows these will not be compatible.
