Carr Truck Cab

About Carr: Over 75 Years of American-Made Truck Accessories

Few names in the truck and SUV accessory market carry the kind of history and credibility that Carr does. The story begins in March 1945, when Vernon Lester Carr founded a metal pattern-cutting shop in Los Angeles, California. His son Wendell joined the business later that same year after returning from Navy service in World War II, and the family enterprise has never looked back. Today, Carr is a third-generation, privately held company headquartered in Temecula, California — and one of the most recognizable brands in the automotive aftermarket.

The pivot into the automotive world came in the early 1980s, when the family recognized the growing demand for high-quality truck accessories. Extensive research, development, and engineering went into their first lineup of aluminum cast light bars and truck steps. The products made an immediate impression — Carr's debut at SEMA earned them second place, instantly establishing the brand as a serious competitor. Decades later, Carr accessories are found in virtually every major warehouse across the United States and Canada.

What Sets Carr Apart

At the heart of every Carr product is a commitment to cast aluminum construction. This manufacturing approach produces accessories that are both exceptionally durable and corrosion-resistant, requiring minimal maintenance over the life of the product. Each piece is engineered for a precise, vehicle-specific fit, so there's no guesswork involved during installation — many products mount directly to factory locations. Carr also backs their products with a limited lifetime warranty, a testament to the confidence they place in their own craftsmanship.

Carr's flagship product lines center on truck cab side steps, where the brand has built its strongest reputation. From the rugged Super Hoop Step and Hoop II Step to the versatile MAXgrip and MAX no-drill side steps, Carr offers a fitment for nearly every truck and SUV on the road. Their exclusive diamond non-slip tread pattern is a signature detail that keeps safety front and center, whether you're stepping up into a lifted pickup or helping passengers into a tall SUV.

Beyond cab-entry steps, Carr rounds out its lineup with truck bed side steps that make accessing your bed easier and safer, trailer hitch steps that convert your receiver into a practical rear stepping platform, and running board steps designed for a sleek, factory-integrated appearance. For drivers who want to add presence and utility to the front of their rig, Carr's lineup of light bars — including the M-Profile, C-Profile, and XRS Jeep Rota series — provide robust mounting solutions for off-road and auxiliary lighting.

Whether you drive a half-ton pickup, a heavy-duty work truck, a Jeep, or a full-size SUV, Carr's vehicle-specific catalog ensures that form and function come together without compromise. It's the kind of no-nonsense, American-made quality that has kept truck enthusiasts coming back to this third-generation brand for more than seven decades.
