What is the Weight Capacity of the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platforms for My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?

Question:

Hello, I have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4door and was wondering about the dynamic weight limit of the Rhino-Rack Pioneer with the backbone system. Their website says 265lbs but the manual says 219lbs. I am hoping to understand the difference. Thank you.

The 219-pound on-road dynamic weight capacity is the weight capacity of the platform itself when mounted on three aftermarket crossbars on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The platform # RR42115BF is designed to mount on a crossbar system.

If you are instead using either the # RR78FM or the # RR88FM, both of those systems have an on-road dynamic weight capacity of 265 pounds (which is the maximum weight your vehicle can accommodate).
