just adding some more rack info to the thread for reference.
Rhino’s new Pioneer 6 Platform for GX & LC
to have capacity of 330 lbs. dynamic, 825 lbs. static
that is disappointing. hopefully they’ll be an alternative that stays within load.
I’m more interested in what the max load of the GX550s actual roof/mounting points.
I’m sure the Prinsu is beefy and can handle that weight.
But can the attachment points/roof? I really don’t see it...
I assume that 165lbs limit for the rails is for dynamic load not static?
Looks like the Prinsu GX550 rack weighs 70lbs so hopefully that’s not just leaving you with 95lbs of dynamic capacity (assuming 165lb roof load cap). Hopefully that’s just applicable to the rails.
If I were doing a tent...
Got to test drive one today and really liked it. Looks even better in person!
It wasn’t the OT model I’m in queue for but good to touch materials and get a sense of the vehicle.
I forgot they showed this in the video but user “newcarshoppingsucks” shared in on another forum.
fast forward to about 7:00 mark to see some real world hitch pin details. hopefully it helps you.

that’s fair and probably true since all racks add some noise.
but I also take a lot of reviewers with a grain of salt since they’re coming from the car community and often complain about road noise from AT tires or wind noise from boxy vehicles. 😆
