Why Rhino Rack Pioneer Platforms are the perfect addition to your 4WD

Built to Last

This platform rack is as tough as it gets. Made from lightweight aluminium that has been thoroughly engineered for perfection, it can handle whatever the bush throws at you. Whether it's brutal UV from our harsh sun, torrential wind and rain, or even some bumps and bruises from tackling tough tracks (or from those who are rough on their gear) — Rhino Rack is built tough.

Versatile Storage

The Pioneer Platform is like a blank canvas for storage and stowing solutions. The Pioneer Platform comes in a range of different sizes to fit any wagon or ute, and with a bunch of compatible accessories from Rhino Rack themselves, as well as from brands like STEDI, TRED, and MaxTrax, to name a few. You can customize it to suit your specific needs. Wanna mount a shovel, fishing rods, or even a spare tire? That is no drama for the Pioneer Rack.

Easy to Use

Even the most novice DIYer could tackle this installation in their driveway, and your rig will be upgraded in a flash. The instructions are clear, and the whole thing is designed to be user-friendly. Plus, the integrated measuring strip and included tools make sure you get it set up perfectly the first time.

Endless Accessory Options

Now, about those endless accessories we mentioned! They're the extra bits that take your setup to the next level.

Here's a quick rundown of some of our favourites:

• Recovery track mounts: Get those dirty MaxTrax or TREDs out of the way and free up space on top for other goodies. Mount them securely to your roof and only grab them when you need!
• Camping essentials: Bring shade wherever you go by mounting an awning to the top of your 4WD — and make sure you have a place to sleep by strapping down your swag or even mounting your rooftop tent to camp in luxury.
• Pioneer accessory mounts: These bad boys open up a whole world of possibilities for mounting Rhino Rack's awesome bike carriers, shovels, fishing rods, and more.
• Lighting up the night: Add light bars, camping lights, floodlights, and more to your roof to make sure you can camp in comfort or see any kangaroo in the distance with countless lights and mounts from the STEDI
• Storage on storage: Tuck away any spare parts, dirty gear, and whatever you wish in the TRED Storage Boxes—built to be able to open while being strapped down on your racks.

Remember, these are just a few of the many options available. The beauty of the Pioneer Platform is that it is completely customizable for any setup.

Rhino Racks in the 4WD 24/7 Fleet

For those of you with a keen eye, you would have noticed that we rock the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform on Shauno's dual-cab 200 Series LandCruiser, as well as his mint 80 Series — Sooty MKII. We also chose to build our tough American Jeep with the Rhino Rack on top for our USA adventures.

Not only does some of our on-screen team run Rhino Racks, but there are 4WDs behind the scenes that use Pioneer Platforms for their rigs — from Nissan Patrols and Toyota LandCruisers to Isuzu MUXs and more—as they suit any application you can imagine.

The Verdict

Not only has the Rhino Rack and all of its countless accessory opportunities stepped up my camping game exponentially, but it has done so in a sleek and aerodynamic fashion. It gives us the freedom to pack up and tackle the bush without worrying about whether my gear will survive the adventure.

So, if you're looking for a roof rack that's built to last, versatile, and simple to use, then look no further than the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform.

Now, chuck on your favourite Akubra, hit the tracks, and we hope to see you out there!
