Rhino-Rack releases state-of-the-art Pioneer 6 Platform

Rhino-Rack has introduced its Pioneer 6 Platform to Australia, an industry-leading roof rack built to be compatible with an extensive range of overlanding accessories.

“Designed to be the pinnacle of engineering, the Pioneer 6 Platform is a leap ahead of our already impressive predecessors and challenges the boundaries of aerodynamics and durability,” Rhino-Rack says of its product.

Considering the earlier iterations of the product were extremely durable, well-designed and versatile, that’s quite a statement. So let’s take a closer look at how Rhino-Rack has markedly improved its all-new Pioneer 6 Platform.

The Pioneer 6 Series is Rhino-Rack’s strongest and most versatile roof rack to date, with advanced engineering that allows you to travel further, carry more gear and enjoy a quieter and smoother ride. Design upgrades have transformed the unit into a radically improved platform. It’s 20 per cent lighter utilising higher strength, lightweight alloys, for greater carrying capacity.

What truly sets the Pioneer 6 Series apart is its incredible potential for adventure through a comprehensive range of Rhino-Rack mounts and accessories. The Pioneer 6 Series boasts 25 per cent more usable channels and an extensive ecosystem of accessories, maximising every inch of the platform and enabling users to load more gear than ever. Don’t exceed the roof load limit of your vehicle, and there is a Load Rating calculator on the Rhino-Rack website that will help with this.

Integrated wiring capabilities and additional east/west mounting channels allow for quick and easy mounting for everything from recovery boards, kayaks, bikes and fishing rods. This versatility empowers individuals to swiftly transition from work to play, ensuring they're always ready for their next adventure. Here's a full list of accessories.

There’s also a whopping 60 per cent less drag, for a better on-road experience and fewer trips to fuel bowsers. This can be seen in the leading-edge design profiles of the underbars and front edge, as well as the use of detachable wind fairing inserts.

A number of mounting systems are also available, as they were on the previous generations, including Backbone, RCH and RCL, RX (for raised rails), and RL (for vehicles that have protruding gutter mounts).

The Rhino-Rack Pionner 6 is built to be compatible with all the popular 4x4 vehicles in Australia, including the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger (including next-gen), Nissan Navara, Mazda BT-50, Mitsubishi Triton, Isuzu D-MAX, Volkswagen Amarok and Toyota LandCruiser (all series).
