Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at this Carr Custom Fit Matte Black Aluminum Super Hoop Sidestep. Now, this is, as I mentioned, a custom fit part that is designed to fit the 2018 to 2022 Ford Expedition MAX and non-MAX editions, the 2015 and newer Ford F-150 regular cab, Supercab, and SuperCrew Cab, then the 2017 to 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor Supercab and SuperCrew Cab, and then the 2017 to 2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab, regular cab, and Supercab, then the 2017 to 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty Crew Cab, then the 2017 to 2022 Ford F-350 and F-450 Cab and Chassis Crew Cab, regular cab, and Supercab, and then finally, the 2017 to 2022 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis Supercab. To confirm that this is going to work for your vehicle, I recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our fit guide will let you know if this step will work for you or if we have another step like this one that will work for you. Now, this step is designed to give you a more rugged look than the traditional tube steps and running boards, and this hoop style step is going to give you a large, flat, non-skid surface for you to get into and out of your Ford with ease. So let me go ahead and pull out my tape measure here and just give you some overall dimensions, so you have a good idea of the size.
Measuring here at the longest point, the overall length, we are sitting right at 20 inches long, and then measuring just the step area, we are sitting right at 17 inches long, and then the overall, the step width rather, we're sitting right at five inches wide. You probably can't see that too well, let me see if this will work a little bit better, so right at about five inches wide on that step, and this is going to give you a drop of about six inches. And this is made here in the USA of durable, rustproof cast aluminum alloy construction with the weight capacity of 500 pounds, and this XM3 Xtreme black powder coat finish is gonna do a great job of resisting chipping, peeling, and fading, and this lightly textured matte black appearance is going to compliment most vehicles, it's going to look great, and the finish itself, to me, looks pretty durable, and I think it's gonna be very long lasting. The multi-mount installation system is going to ensure a simple, yet precise stable fit on your Ford. The zinc-plated steel mounting heads are going to attach to your Ford's rocker panels with the included hardware that you see here, and as you can see, I kinda have these mounting heads loosely installed here, just gives you an idea of what they're gonna look like.
Speaking of installation, you will get a set of instructions to guide you through the simple installation process. You are going to get one step, and this does have a limited lifetime warranty from Carr, and that's going to conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

Multi-mount system ensures a precise, stable fit.Very pleased with the quality and ease of install on these steps,
The crew really enjoys them and they appear to be holding up fine installed on the new ford's aluminum rockers.
I wanted the Carr Super Hoops for my 2003 Chevy Express Van, but there was not a model listed for that application. I purchased the Model 124031 Carr Super Hoops since that model is the most versatile and includes the most varied hardware for the varied mounting applications.
Delivery was very timely as expected. Once received, the hardware seems of good quality and the black finish was just as I had hoped for.
I started by mounting 2 each 1” square tube spacers to the bottom of the existing Chevy foot well. The Chevy foot well turns out to be 2 thicknesses of body sheet metal with a stiffening ridge formed on the topside of the foot well (under the removable plastic foot well liner). I then thru bolted a 6”x24”x ¼” aluminum plate (6061,T6) thru those spacers to the bottom of the foot well with ¼” bolts. I was then able to mount each of the supplied Carr brackets to the bottom of the aluminum plate with 1, ¼” bolt and 1, #10-24 machine screw. The smaller (weaker) machine screws are expected to break if the hoop is hit from below by road debris or rocks.
Note that this installation leaves either the hoop frame to close to the ground, or the step surface angled significantly off of the desired horizontal. Therefore, I had to make some “treads” to mount on the step surface of the hoop frame. I chose to make these “treads” out of wood first to make sure I could make them work and look nice.
The new “treads” were successfully made on a table saw from a pine 2x6 and ended up being acceptably “level”. This installation left a shade over 10” of ground clearance below the bottom of the hoop frames (standard curbs seem to be between 8” and 9”). Now that I know how to make the “treads”, I plan to make a pair from some UV stabilized black plastic to replace the wooden prototypes.
If I were doing this over again, I could have just bought the cheapest model with the needed brackets. I was not able to use any of the extra hardware beyond the hoops and brackets themselves.
This installation makes entry and exit from the van much easier for my wife and I as well as our aging friends. I just didn’t care for the appearance of the full length running board systems.
Ordered these as a replacement for old ones.
One broke and the other lost most of the coating. Since those came with the truck I could not warranty.
New ones fit like a glove since I had the old brackets, 8 bolts and nuts and we're good to go!
Hopefully these will last another 8 years, if not I see the manufacturer has a lifetime warranty on them anyways.
Exceeded expectations! Easy install and solid mount. Looks great on my old truck. etrailer continues to lead in service, communication and product selection. There was a small shipping delay, but the staff at etrailer kept me in the loop, notified me of everything that was going on and delivered an awesome product at a competitive price. Thank you all.
Steps have been holding up great on utility service trucks, The crew has also been very pleased with them. Awesome service from Etrailer and good product.
The best price out of all other sites. I was so impatient for my product to arrive I even emailed etrailer asking about my order. They were kind enough to email me back with the information on the whereabouts of my super hoop steps. Following day it was here and I quickly went and installed them. Very easy and the i instructions were easy to follow. I love my super hoop steps and I got love for etrailer. I would totally recommend shopping with them or at least compare prices.
Classic, elegant, and high-quality product. etrailer's shipping and website top notch! I highly recommend it!
Mine still look brand new after a year because they are still sitting in the box. Although the application included my vehicle, apparently you have to remove the body from the frame in order to drill the necessary holes in the narrow clearance areas. I might have liked the product if I could have installed it but that never happened.
It was a great heavy duty product. We didn't install them because was needing them lower than what the mounting area would allow. Our Mother is 80 and we were trying to make it easier for her to get into their Ford pickup.
I installed these on my full sized '90 Bronco. They are great. Very sturdy. Long enough for the person in the back to get in and out of
I received the Carr steps with the wrong attachments. No problem, the correct attachment was shipped and I should have them installed soon.
My 4x4 truck sits fairly high and these steps are just the ticket. Installation could not be easier. Drill four holes on the back of each rocker and bolt them on. The mounting brackets are plated and heavy guage. You will be supplied with more than enough hardware for installation. Included instructions are clear and concise, but really, this job doesn't require a degree in engineering!
Amazing to order from somewhere new that had what we needed ASAP
Thank you for speedy delivery
Unbelievable
I will update when we put our nerf steps on my 2000 Toyota Tacoma
Thank you again
Awesome, we love it. Especially me now I can get up into the truck easy !
Extremely well made with a great hardware kit and detailed instructions for installation. Installation was quick and easy.
We have ordered 3 items from ETrailer, a Spare tire carrier, a 60" ladder, and a set of running boards all for our camper. We were able to install all products, and very happy with them. Oh, by the way, I am legally blind and with a little help from my wife we were very proud each time we completed an installation. The customer service was excellent, and delivery was quick.
We Thank you very much,

I installed these on a 1965 Chevy C10 pickup. The only thing that I had to do different than what is shown on the install video is, I modified the galv. brackets. I removed the small bottom bent tap. The bracket then fit perfect on the lower edge of the inner rocker panel. This is a 1 owner truck on its second restore, so you can guess my age. These make it really easy to get in and out of the old truck. I have looked for these for along time. Thanks etrailer for carrying them.
Easy to follow instructions. Nice looking. Easy to install with basic tools. I think the manufacture could have come up with a more solid mounting option. The brackets are bolted to the vehicle rocker panel at two points. The lower point is on the pinch weld. There is very little material at this location and it gets the most abuse from the environment, especially salt related corrosion. With time, this area will be compromised. The upper attachment point is with a sheet metal screw in the back of the rocker panel. A very weak attachment. I imaging many step bars use similar mounting.
Great price...fast shipping...great follow up.
what I was looking for. Strong, well ma de.
Everything fit. Easy to install and looks great!
I love my truck, but because of 20 year chronic back problems, getting in and out of my truck was becoming painful to the point I often would not drive my classic 1995 f150. BUT....these steps have completely changed that for me, I love the steps! The width and length let me step in and out of my truck with confidence. They are very sturdy, which lets me step with comfort and trust in the product.
The product is great. The finish holds up fantastically. Took a bit of work and care to mount. I'd highly recommend that you make yourself a simple cardboard guide that you can use to drill holes in the right places, that way you can be sure that it'll all come together right.
Big ,sturdy, well made in the USA
Exactly as described. Fits Sprinter 35°0 and easy to install but makes the truck a little low. Very fast delivery
