KC HiLiTES 05-23 Toyota Tacoma-Platform One Roof Rack

The bolt-on PL1 rack for 2nd/3rd Gens delivers full coverage with adjustable support crossbars, a slotted upper mounting deck, and low-profile design. Power-Ready™ for everyday utility and off-road adventure, it integrates lighting, mounts cleanly to the truck, and holds strong when the trail gets rough.

The Platform One™ Roof Rack is KC’s premium hybrid platform system, purpose-built for off-roaders, overlanders, and dedicated adventurers. Designed specifically for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab models (2nd & 3rd Gen), PL1 combines the strength and versatility of a modular platform rack with the contoured fit and style of a sheet metal design. The result is a rack that’s as capable as the truck it’s built for.

Crafted in Arizona with over 90% U.S.-sourced materials, it features proprietary aluminum extrusions, precision-cut sheet metal side rails, and a patent-pending structure for seamless lighting, gear, and power integration. All while maintaining a clean, low-profile silhouette.

The rack is Power-Ready™ with built-in side light wiring channels that simplify lighting and solar installs. Compatible with KC’s Gravity® Titan™ (SKU 91418) or Pro6® (SKU 91308) overhead bars, and up to four flush-mount Profile 10” SideCast™ lights, the PL1 enables full 360° lighting.

No drilling or permanent modification is required to your Tacoma. It bolts to factory mounting points using a custom bumpstop tensioning system for long-term strength and reliability, even on rugged terrain.

FIRST OF ITS KIND HYBRID ROOF RACK

MOUNTING

Installation is straightforward with no drilling required; simply bolt it to your factory mounting points and adjust the integrated bumpstop tensioning mount system. With robust crossbar security and structural integrity, you can count on long-term reliability, even on the roughest terrain.

ROOF LOAD RATING

Platform One™ Roof Racks are engineered for exceptional strength and utility, but the governing limit is always your vehicle’s OEM roof load rating. The total combined weight of the rack and your rooftop cargo should not exceed the maximum load rating specified by your vehicle manufacturer, whether static (parked) or dynamic (in motion). Please note that exceeding OEM roof load limits is at your own discretion and is not recommended by KC. Always verify your specific roof load rating, distribute cargo evenly, and secure all gear properly before travel.
