Built for off-road use and tested in harsh Australian conditions, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform is a comprehensive solution for your cargo carrying needs. This platform’s large, flat surface lets you carry more gear than a typical roof rack, freeing up space inside your vehicle. The Pioneer uses integrated channels in the planks, side rails, and frame to accommodate a wide variety of Rhino-Rack accessories, including awnings, light brackets, and more. The platform mounts directly to your vehicle’s factory rain gutters using RL-style roof rack legs with custom-fit brackets.

The Perfect Roof Rack for Any Outdoor Lifestyle

Whether you are overlanding, camping, or tailgating, the Pioneer platform’s ample surface space lets you carry a large amount of cargo and gear. This helps free up space inside of your vehicle so you and your passengers can travel comfortably. The integrated channels located in the planks, side rails, and frame let you install channel-mount accessories, like an awning or kayak carrier, similar to a traditional roof rack. But, there are also several accessories that install exclusively to the Pioneer platform, such as the aluminum folding ladder and gas can holders. And because of the platform’s design you can utilize many of these accessories at the same time.

Accessory bars (RR43138B – sold separately) can be added to accommodate clamp-mounted accessories that fit in the space between the platform’s planks, such as bike carriers and cargo boxes. And because the bars have C-channels, you can use them to mount additional channel-mounted gear in the open space between the planks. By installing the accessory bars in the platform’s integrated channels, you gain all the advantages of a traditional crossbar system, while maintaining the generous surface space of the platform.

Utilitarian Design with Rugged, Off-Road Look

The Pioneer platform was designed with utility in mind and features a rugged, off-road look. The low-profile tray was also designed to be aerodynamic to help reduce wind noise and drag.

Strong, Durable Construction

Strong, yet lightweight, the platform’s frame is constructed of aluminum and includes rehttps://countryoffroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/13358_1024x768_a-1.jpgrced nylon connectors. Since these materials are powder coated and non-corrosive, the platform won’t rust or fade when exposed to the weather. Rhino-Rack has rigorously tested the Pioneer in the harsh Australian outback, ensuring it’s built to withstand anything your adventures throw at it.

Custom Fit Installation

This Pioneer platform rack is custom fit for your vehicle and includes all the parts necessary to install it on the factory rain gutters of your vehicle’s roof. The platform comes unassembled, so you will have to put it together before proceeding to the installation. After this is complete, clamp the RL legs to your vehicle’s factory rain gutters with custom-fit brackets. The bars attached to the bottom of the platform connect to the legs and secure the Pioneer in place.
