Pioneer Platform

Similar products in the market have limited adjustability, and/or require adapting hardware, or bespoke (sometimes destructive) modifications during installation. Either problem results in carrying unnecessary weight (reducing cargo capacity) or increased time and cost of installation. The new Pioneer had to be infinitely adjustable to fit new vehicles, eliminate as many required vehicle specific components and be compatible with a wide variety of fitment strategies. Thus, future proofing the design for many years to come. We endeavored to offer customers a refined design, in line with modern standards and new customization options to explore their world, their way.

Every aspect of the new Pioneer was designed to improve from the ground up to address previous shortcomings. - A cleverly designed structure makes the system infinitely adjustable to suit any vehicle without bespoke modification. - New mounting channels offer new opportunities for accessories and customization. - Improved instructions and installation method reducing installation times. - Included new tools and unique features which ensure each fit is correct the first time. - New corner design allows for new customization options. - Hidden wiring channels keep the look & aerodynamics clean. - Hidden fasteners throughout. - Pre-assembled and flat-pack version are available (no changes to design or components).
