The Ram and Toyota Tundra pickup trucks have long been vehicles of choice for keen truck enthusiasts, and are known for their robust yet sleek look.
Rhino-Rack has designed the Rhino-Rack Backbone and Pioneer Platform system as the quintessential accessory that allows a truck to take the extra weight and pressure without the risk of impeding the canopy’s integrity. The new low profile Rhino-Rack Backbone and Pioneer Platform system is strong, supremely versatile and blends perfectly with the look of a Ram or Toyota Tundra truck.
Designed to increase the load carrying capacity of your truck by distributing it evenly over the body of the vehicle, the Rhino-Rack Backbone and Pioneer Platform combination have a static load rating of 704 pounds and dynamic load rating 220 pounds. With Rhino-Rack Backbone engineering, the Pioneer Platform reinforces the already strong design and allows you to carry the extra load - essentially everything you need for your next outdoor adventure.
The Pioneer is made from non-corrosive stainless steel, making it strong, durable, and lightweight (only 63 pounds). Like all Rhino-Rack products, the Pioneer Platform and Rhino-Rack Backbone has been tested repeatedly in some of the most rugged and harsh conditions to ensure it is adventure-ready. The non-corrosive materials ensure it won’t rust in salty conditions or fade over time, meaning the Pioneer will look just as good as your truck, for the life of the rack.
With its low profile and simplistic design, the Pioneer makes loading and unloading equipment easier than ever. The wide flat surface means all you have to do is slide the equipment on top and tie it down utilizing the C-channels, then you’re ready to head off. It’s also conveniently designed to carry existing Rhino-Rack accessories including luggage bags, jerry can holders, spare wheel holders and shovels, and is perfect for rooftop tents and loads more as well.
For the essential carry rack that won’t damage your truck’s canopy, or alter its distinctive iconic design, choose the Rhino-Rack Backbone and Pioneer Platform combination.
