Pioneer 6 – Quieter, Lighter & More Versatile
The Pioneer 6 represents a significant development in Rhino-Rack’s platform range.
The redesigned platform delivers up to 60% less drag than its predecessor while also reducing system weight by up to 20% through the use of stronger, lighter alloy components.
This makes the Pioneer 6 particularly well suited to long-distance touring where reduced aerodynamic drag, weight and wind noise can make a noticeable difference.
Maximum Usable Platform Area
One of the major advantages of the Pioneer 6 is its redesigned platform surface.
Unlike previous Pioneer platforms, the Pioneer 6 has no channel apertures, allowing 100% of the platform surface to be utilised for mounting accessories.
The platform also provides up to 25% more usable channels, giving you greater flexibility when positioning equipment.
This makes it easier to configure the roof rack around your specific Land Cruiser build.
East/West Mounting Channels
Additional east/west mounting channels provide even more options for positioning compatible accessories.
This gives you greater freedom when mounting equipment such as:
- Awning brackets
- Rooftop tent hardware
- Recovery boards
- Storage equipment
- Additional lighting
- Solar panels
- Kayak carriers
- Fishing rod carriers
- Camping equipment
The modular platform allows accessories to be positioned where they are most practical for your particular setup.
Stronger & Lighter Alloy Construction
Rhino-Rack has developed stronger alloy components for the Pioneer 6 while reducing the overall weight of the system.
The result is a roof platform that provides excellent strength without unnecessarily adding weight to the vehicle.
For a Land Cruiser 200 being built for overlanding, where roof-mounted equipment can quickly add up, reducing unnecessary system weight is an important consideration.
Improved Scuff-Resistant Coating
The Pioneer 6 features Rhino-Rack’s improved protective coating, designed to provide increased resistance against scuffs and general wear.
This helps the platform maintain its appearance when regularly used for touring, camping and off-road adventures.
Integrated Wiring Capability
The Pioneer 6 platform incorporates integrated wiring capabilities within the extrusions.
This allows suitable electrical wiring to be routed more neatly through the platform when installing accessories such as additional roof-mounted lighting.
This helps create a cleaner installation while reducing exposed wiring around the roof rack.
Improved Aerodynamics
The Pioneer 6 incorporates detachable wind-fairing inserts in the leading edge.
These inserts further enhance the aerodynamic performance of the platform and contribute to the reduced drag and improved noise characteristics of the Pioneer 6.
This is particularly beneficial for customers who use their Land Cruiser for extended highway and touring travel.
Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System
The Pioneer 6 is mounted to the Land Cruiser 200 using the Rhino-Rack Backbone system.
The Backbone provides a vehicle-specific mounting structure designed to distribute the roof-rack load through the vehicle’s designated mounting points.
This creates a strong foundation for the Pioneer platform while maintaining a clean installation.
Built for Your Land Cruiser 200 Build
The Pioneer 6 is designed around Rhino-Rack’s extensive accessory ecosystem, allowing the rack to be configured for almost any touring requirement.
Possible applications include:
- Rooftop tents
- Awnings
- Recovery boards
- Solar panels
- Camping equipment
- Storage solutions
- Kayak carriers
- Fishing equipment
- Additional lighting
- Roof-mounted accessories
Whether you’re building your Land Cruiser 200 for African overlanding, family touring or weekend adventures, the Pioneer 6 gives you the flexibility to build the roof system around your equipment.
