Warrior Product Platform Roof Rack - Review?

[Ride4Runner]

Tried to search the forum to find if anyone has used the Warrior Product Platform Roof Rack 5th Gen 4Runner, nothing came up.

Platform Roof Rack | Warrior Products - 5th Gen

The specs are decent and the design looks good. I'd be primarily using it for mounting a RTT.

Appreciate it if anyone is using this roof rack and can provide a review.

I'm interested in this too. Hopefully someone with experience can post a quick review here.

I was able to install the Warrior Product roof rack over the weekend and it's a nice solid rack. There are no pre-drilled holes in the tubular frame if you plan to install lights and feed the wires through.

I'm pleased with the product. Just waiting for my RTT to come in to mount.

How's the wind noise? Looks good.

Anyone happen to know the load rating on this?

One of the issue with a lot of racks is the lack overhang. If you want to put a piece of plywood on top, you need some overhang to get it up there without mucking up the side.

How is the overhang on this one?

Sorry didn't catch your question until now.

I do not notice any wind noise at highway speeds

I don't know why their website does not list load rating but they state it's ideal for mounting a RTT. I mounted my RTT which is about 125lbs and with 2 people that adds an additional 300lbs+ without any issues.

Measuring from the outside edge of the roof rail channel the rack extends 3.5"

Anyone have the dimensions of this? Unless I'm blind I don't see it on their web page. Anyone have a lic with an RTT mounted? Considering one of these but very limited pics out there. The RTT I just ordered is 56Wx48L closed.

Sorry for the delay! We just saw this thread!

The platform itself is 57.5" long x 51.25" wide. The load ratings, when evenly distributed, are as follows:

Static: 600 lbs.
Dynamic (On-Road): 400 lbs.
Dynamic (Off-Road): 150 lbs.

height?

what is the overall height? I have 4 inches between my stock rack and the top of the opening in my garage. I plan on bigger tires (+ 0.5") and a rack.

Thanks!

What's the weight of one of these platforms?

It will add roughly 2.5" to the overall vehicle height, so you should be perfectly fine.

The product itself weighs approximately 70 lbs. This weight includes the platform, driver side/passenger side mounts, wind deflector/air dam, and all hardware.

is that over the stock rack? or from the roof?

Thanks!

Where did you order it and how much was it?

 

[Ride4Runner]

I bought mine in 2016 from Morris4x4center.com during Black Friday and got it around $600.

Do a google search for "Warrior Product 10915" and you'll see a few vendors come up. I think CARID has the lowest price at $617.82

You seem the be the only person on the interwebs with any experience with this rack haha. It seems to fit my needs, which are as follows:

be less expensive than a gobi
allow for sunroof
no drilling
allow me to carry a fair amount of gear on the roof with ski racks still mounted (this is the key factor - I travel with people/dogs and a lot of shit including skis but I also park in a parking garage at work so the obvious solution, a rooftop box, is really not ideal. And my current Rola rack has no way to mount my ski racks to it and thus I have to switch them a few times a year which is annoying)

Is the fairing removable? Based on your early posts, you reported no wind noise - is that still the case? Any other input that might help me out? Based on the above criteria, it's one of the few options that isn't beyond what I'm interested to spend but will meet my needs.

Thanks in advance!

Mine is being delivered on Thursday. Looking forward to it. And yeah, i pretty much came to the same conclusions as above. I got mine on Amazon, i think it was also $617, free shipping and i get another 5% back with my amazon card.:dancin:

I'll update this thread when i get it, i'm looking to mount a large thule box, kayak mounts and maybe a RTT in different combos, this seemed like the easiest and cheapest way to do all of those and give me the usage of a basket.
