EEZI-AWN K9 Roof Rack – Hilux 2016+ (Also Fits Ranger, BT50, Triton, D-max)
Proven Globally. Unmatched Locally.
Don’t be fooled by the incredible value. The EEZI-AWN K9 roof rack isn’t just another platform rack—this is true expedition-grade gear, designed to survive the punishing demands of off-road fleets across Africa.
K9 racks are built for off-grid abuse. If you're building a vehicle to go further, carry more, and last longer—this is the rack to trust.
Key Features
1400mm x 1250mm size – perfect fit for 2016+ Hilux double cab (N80), and also available for many other utes.
‘SPINE’ mounting system – includes full platform, spine brackets, and all-metal hardware (no plastic!)
Zero plastic in the rack structure – fully welded aluminium construction with no rivets or corner inserts. Much stronger and saves hours on install.
Double slotted planks (2 x 8mm slots) plus full perimeter 6mm slot – vastly increases tie-down flexibility and allows integration with Thule/Yakima lifestyle accessories.
Alloy wind deflector included as standard – helps reduce wind noise and improves road manners at speed.
Planks run lengthwise (not crosswise) – improves airflow, noise reduction, and looks sharp doing it.
Comprehensive accessory range – from shovels and jerry cans to Maxtrax, spare tyres, Hi-Lifts, and awnings. Or simply add EEZI-AWN eye bolts for ratchet strap tie-downs.
Professional Install Support – Easy DIY home install, or we can refer you to trusted installers nationwide. Just ask and we’ll tailor the solution.

"For extra strength, the K9 rack is welded as opposed to being bolted together to prevent any rattling over time. The K9’s longitudinal slat design and slim 35mm profile are designed to reduce both wind resistance and wind noise, aided by a deflector panel up front. This makes the K9 rack perfect for fitment on an SUV where wind noise is an important consideration".
