KC HiLiTES Platform One Roof Rack for the 3rd & 4th Gen Tacoma - Announcement & Overview
Big news for Tacoma owners KC HiLiTES just dropped the Platform One roof rack for the 3rd and 4th Gen Tacoma. This isn’t just another roof rack, it’s one of the most exciting products we’ve seen hit the market in a long time.
The Platform One is designed as a complete system. KC built Power-Ready wiring channels directly into the rack, so you can route wiring for lights, solar, and accessories without zip ties or exposed wires. Everything stays tucked away, clean, and factory-level.
Want lighting right out of the box? KC offers bundles that make the rack plug-and-play for four 10” SideCast lights using their PL1 harness. No custom wiring, no messy installs just a rack and lighting system built to work together from day one.
Fitment is dialed specifically for the Tacoma. It bolts directly to factory points with no drilling, sits low and tight to the cab, and has the strength to carry rooftop tents, recovery gear, and all the loadout you need for serious trips.
KC even includes blackout plates for the side cutouts so the rack looks finished whether or not you’re running lights. Every detail feels intentional, making this one of the cleanest and most capable racks ever built for the Tacoma platform.
