Question:
2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness. Do I need crossbars if I buy a platform rack like, for example, the Rhino Pioneer. I am also trying to minimize wind noise for this item.

Expert Reply:
The Rhino Rack Pioneer # RR87CP does have integrated t-slots so you potentially wouldn't need crossbars if whatever you're attaching can be attached via t-slots.

Hey, how did the Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform work out on your Forester Wilderness without the crossbars? Did it help keep wind noise down the way you hoped? Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up the same rack.
