What Is the Armordillo® CR1 Mid-Size Tire Carrier?

The ARMORDILLO® CR1 Tire Carrier Rack Attachment is a bolt-on elevated spare tire mounting system designed exclusively for the CR1 Mid-Size Chase Rack.

It allows mid-size truck owners to mount a full-size spare tire above the bed using an angled, high-clearance design — preserving usable cargo space while improving off-road readiness.

This attachment transforms your CR1 Mid-Size Rack into a complete off-road support system.

Elevated strength. Trail-ready performance.

What Problem Does This Solve?

Off-road environments increase the risk of tire damage. However, many spare mounting options:

  • Consume valuable truck bed space
  • Reduce cargo capacity
  • Affect weight balance
  • Interfere with overland storage systems

The CR1 Mid-Size Tire Carrier solves this by using an elevated, angled spare mount that:

  • Preserves bed functionality
  • Improves departure clearance
  • Maintains structural balance
  • Keeps your spare easily accessible

It ensures your spare tire is secured without sacrificing utility.


Why Add the CR1 Mid-Size Tire Carrier?

Preserves Valuable Bed Space

The above-bed design keeps your cargo area open for gear, tools, recovery equipment, and overland storage systems.

Supports Up to a 37-Inch Spare Tire

Engineered to hold larger off-road tire sizes common on Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado, and similar mid-size builds.

Angled Mounting for Improved Clearance

Optimizes tire positioning for better departure angles and balanced weight distribution.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Christopher ★★★★★

The elevated mounting keeps my spare out of the truck bed, freeing up space for gear without any wobble on the trail.

Leo Y. ★★★★★

Bolted it onto my CR1 rack in about 20 minutes, and my spare sits rock-solid now without any wobble on the highway. The elevated position actually frees up bed space for gear, which is exactly what I needed.

Sophia V. ★★★★★

Installed it on my CR1 chase rack this weekend and the whole thing took maybe 20 minutes. The bolt-on design is super solid and my spare feels completely locked in place. Exactly what I needed for keeping the truck bed clear.
