Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack Fit on 2020 Toyota Sienna With Raised Side Rails

Question:

Hi - Im trying to decide which kind of rails, if any, to purchase with the Pioneer Platform. I generally pack everything in duffle-bags, and then strap them to my rack. Ive used a Yakima load-warrior basket in the past, but am looking for a lower profile solution. And also, just a different one. Which rail solution would you suggest for the Pioneer Platform? Also, if I put rails on the platform, can I also use one of the Rhino-Rack awning solutions? In particular, a Batwing Awning? Regards...

We can get your 2020 Toyota Sienna with raised side rails set up with a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform rack, and you don't need to get any rails or legs separately. The Pioneer Platform that fits your '20 Sienna actually comes with the leg kit that will attach to your Sienna's side rails, so no additional parts are needed. The Pioneer Platform that fits your 2020 Toyota Sienna is the following:

- Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR77AB

Since you mentioned tying your gear down I do recommend the Eye Bolt Kit for Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR43178.

And as for the Batwing awning, there is a direct fit for the Pioneer Platform rack, the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning # RR33100.

Overall, the Pioneer Platform will give you the low profile solution you are wanting, and the Batwing Awning will bolt right into the channels of the Pioneer Platform, giving you 118 square feet of respite from the sun on those hot days.
