Expert Reply:
The best way to install a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack on your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox would be to use a model that attaches to standard crossbars, the part # RR42114BF which is 48" long x 38" wide or the part # RR42115BF which is 58" long x 47" wide. These are actually the only two models of the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack that can be installed on a standard crossbar.
Then for a roof rack, you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRCL4, and part # RRRCP62-BK. This system installs via fixed mounting points on your roof and does not require any drilling. This will be the most cost effective option for you to use a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack but if you are looking for something even more cost effective you would need to swap out the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack for something like the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket part # RMCB02.
