Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps - Hoop II - Black Powder Coated Aluminum - 7" Step - 1 Pair

The Carr side steps are well designed, well engineered, and well manufactured. The kit comes complete with all the necessary hardware, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Overall, I found them quite easy to install. Only time will tell as to their durability.1666869

These fit better than I initially thought on a 2023 Ram Promaster High Roof 136 van. The instructions that came with the steps could be tweaked a bit to make things easier but I watched the installation video on the etrailer page with helped a lot. The steps are lightweight but strong - great help in getting up into the van. All the hardware was included (and accounted for) and the design and install method should last for quite a while. I did paint the holes in the pinch weld after I drilled them as this can be an easy spot for rust to occur. Overall I am very happy with the initial install, sturdiness and look of the steps.1534128

I'm delighted with the final product, but the installation did not jibe with the video for my 2015 Chevy Colorado, nor with the enclosed instructions. I spoke with Bill (ext. 377) at tech support and described the problems. There is no access space to install the upper screw at each bracket, so I had to "re-invent the wheel," by making and attaching steel straps at the bottom of each spacer tube, attaching them with self-tapping screws. There is also a box shaped steel shape that is in the way of installing the brackets in the so called ideal location. I'm now pleased with the installation, but shouldn't have had to go to the trouble I did.203121

The black finish has completely disappeared the steps are now a grey oxidized color ugly. I guess someone needs to figure out a better way to finish the aluminum.

These were a perfect choice for our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G. Not a lots of skill required and they look great. Very nice product. Thank you for the fast service.1590679

I purchase these for my Kubota tractor and they did the job for me. Substantial and well made. I did some modifications but I am please with the steps.1256066

Still does the job. It makes getting on and off the tractor much better

Mounted these on a four wheel drive sprinter to make getting in and out easier. Installation was easy enough and straight forward there is a video online that is worth watching a few times to clear up any confusion on how these mount. I used the short spacers on my vehicle but found that customizing the length made for a more solid connection to the vehicle. A belt sander was the best tool for that. You should probably have a primer at hand to deal with any exposed steel.

I installed on a Promaster 1500 Van. The install went pretty smooth. Probably would have written a few steps in a slightly different order. Also, wish the step protruded outward a little farther. It is perfect for the step up, but difficult to find on the step down, and even maybe a little too easy to accidently trip on it. But it is a nice looking step. Sturdy. Instructions easy to follow. And delivered on time with all the pieces in fine shape.1337202

Hello Donna your product looks great and also strong made. We haven't put the hoop step's on the SUV yet. With that being said I'm sure the steps are going to be fine.
If not the SUV, we have a few more automobiles these great looking black hoop steps will fit. Thank you Donna and etrailer for making our product shopping easy and Pleasant. We will order from etrailer.com again. Thank you Donna

I installed these on my 2017 promaster and I’m an amateur at best but the video was a big help . They are a solid and help stepping up in the van but getting out you need to place your heel just right . Looks good too.694771

These make entering/ exiting my Promaster van so much easier! Just wish they stuck out a bit farther.1077944

This was recommended on a van life group page to add a step to passenger doors. Easy to install and good quality, solves our issues with getting into our seats.1307606

Fit and finish are excellent. Easy to install do exactly what I expected, making ingress into my Promaster Van much easier. Arrived ahead of time. Give them five stars.792710

Great product and easy to install on my Sprinter RV1194950

worked fine but went over a kelly hump in the mountains and snapped both steps off! The mounts were fine so I reordered and replaced them (I know now to take them off before heading to elk camp) Just the thing for my height-challenged wife to get in my work van.1224702

Originally ordered these as a replacement for the front. Did not check size before ordering.
Decided to put them under the rear doors instead.
Since I already had them on the front and was able to see how they were mounted, it made the install was a piece of cake.
The instructions were clearly understood for my Silverado and only took me about 15 minutes per side to install.
I have since ordered the larger pair for the front and will use the same brackets to replace.
Only gripe is the finish on the ones that were originally on the truck (8 years old) has chipped off due to mag chloride on the road and frozen ice being knocked off.
Since I was not the original purchaser, I cannot claim warranty issues as they are guaranteed for life.
Hopefully with the new ones Carr perfected their coating, we will find out in another 8 years!
