RFRB3 Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System – Ford Ranger P703 & Volkswagen Amarok Gen2
The Rhino-Rack RFRB3 Backbone Mounting System provides a strong, vehicle-specific foundation for adding a Pioneer Platform to the latest-generation Ford Ranger P703 and Volkswagen Amarok Gen2 double-cab models.
Designed with a focus on strength, functionality and a clean factory-style appearance, the RFRB3 makes use of the vehicle's existing factory mounting points without requiring drilling. When paired with the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform 62100, it creates a versatile roof rack solution ready for touring, camping and overland adventures.
Built for the Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok
The RFRB3 is designed specifically for the Ford Ranger P703 Double Cab and Volkswagen Amarok Gen2 Double Cab.
The system is compatible with a range of variants, including the Ford Ranger Gen 2, Ranger Raptor Gen 2, Ranger Super Duty P703 and Ranger Wildtrak with roof rails, as well as the Volkswagen Amarok Gen2 with or without roof rails.
This vehicle-specific approach provides a clean and integrated fit while making maximum use of the available roof area.
No Drilling Required
One of the key advantages of the RFRB3 Backbone system is its no-drill installation.
The Backbone utilises the vehicle's existing factory roof mounting points, eliminating the need to drill additional holes into the vehicle. Replacement ditch rubber infills are also supplied to provide a neat, premium finish once the system is installed.
The mounting hardware is concealed, creating a seamless transition between the Backbone and the vehicle's roof.
Maximise Your Roof Space
When combined with the Pioneer Platform 62100, the RFRB3 makes use of the vehicle's roof area to provide a substantial cargo-carrying footprint of approximately 1500mm x 1240mm.
The Pioneer Platform provides numerous mounting channels, allowing accessories and equipment to be positioned exactly where they are needed.
This makes the system ideal for owners who want to carry additional equipment without sacrificing valuable space inside the vehicle.
Ready for Touring and Adventure
The RFRB3 provides the foundation for a versatile roof rack system that can be configured around your particular needs.
Depending on your setup, the Pioneer Platform can be used to carry:
- Camping equipment
- Luggage and storage boxes
- Recovery equipment
- Awnings
- Shovels and touring accessories
- Outdoor and adventure equipment
- Sporting equipment
For longer trips, moving bulky equipment onto the roof can also help free up valuable space inside the cabin.
Designed for a Clean, Low-Profile Look
The RFRB3 has been engineered to integrate neatly with the contours of the Ranger and Amarok.
Its concealed fixing system helps maintain a clean appearance, while the vehicle-specific design avoids the bulky look sometimes associated with universal roof rack systems.
The result is a practical roof rack foundation that looks like it belongs on the vehicle.
Built Rhino Tough
The RFRB3 has been rigorously tested as part of Rhino-Rack's commitment to producing durable products designed for adventure use. The Backbone itself weighs approximately 7 kg and has a length of 1403 mm.
Installation instructions are supplied with the product, although professional installation is recommended where appropriate. Rhino-Rack's fitting instructions specify a two-person installation and an approximate fitment time of 150 minutes.
The Foundation for Your Adventure Setup
The RFRB3 Backbone Mounting System is more than just a mounting kit. It provides the foundation for transforming the roof of your Ford Ranger P703 or Volkswagen Amarok Gen2 into a practical and versatile cargo-carrying platform.
Paired with the Pioneer Platform 62100, it provides a strong, integrated solution for owners who want to carry more equipment, maximise available space and prepare their vehicle for touring and overlanding.
