Armordillo CR1 Chase Rack

 

The Armordillo CR1 Chase Rack is designed for pickup owners who want a stronger bed-area appearance with added utility for adventure builds, work trucks, trail rigs, and daily drivers. Its bold chase-rack profile gives the truck a more aggressive rear-cab look while helping tie the bed, cab, wheels, lighting, and exterior accessories into one more complete build. The CR1 is a strong choice for customers who want their truck to look more capable without replacing the rear bumper or giving up the familiar usefulness of the pickup bed.

The CR1 design works especially well for customers building a truck around off-road styling, weekend travel, jobsite use, camping gear, towing support, or a more finished exterior package. Mounted at the front of the bed, the rack creates a visual bridge between the cab and bed while giving the truck a more purposeful stance from the side and rear. The result is a chase-rack look that feels rugged, practical, and matched to the way many truck owners actually use their vehicles.

Armordillo builds the CR1 Chase Rack with premium steel tubing and a 3-inch diameter structure, giving the rack a substantial profile that stands out immediately once installed. The black powder coat finish adds a clean, durable-looking appearance that pairs well with black wheels, bed covers, off-road lights, side steps, fender flares, and other exterior upgrades. This finish also helps the rack blend naturally with modern truck trim and utility-focused accessories without making the build look unfinished.

The CR1 also supports added function through its integrated auxiliary light mounting points and compatible accessory options. Four auxiliary light mounts give customers room to add forward or rearward lighting depending on the selected setup, making the rack a useful foundation for trucks that see low-light trails, rural roads, campsites, work areas, or outdoor events. Compatible tire carrier and lighting-related configurations help customers build around the look and utility they want while keeping the bed area more usable than a traditional in-bed spare tire layout.

Because the CR1 is offered for broad truck applications, it works as a flexible upgrade for full-size and mid-size pickup builds where compatible fitment is available. Customers can use the base chase rack as a clean styling upgrade or choose versions and accessories that add lighting support, a third brake light mount, or spare tire carrying capability. That flexibility makes the CR1 a practical starting point for truck owners who want one rack to support appearance, accessory mounting, and future build plans.

The Armordillo CR1 Chase Rack also helps complete a truck exterior by matching well with other common upgrades such as tonneau covers, bed accessories, recovery gear, side steps, bumpers, and off-road lighting. It gives the bed area a finished look while keeping the overall build focused on utility and style instead of unnecessary bulk. Whether customers are upgrading for trail weekends, overlanding, work use, daily driving, camping trips, or a tougher bed-area appearance, the Armordillo CR1 Chase Rack delivers a rugged chase-rack profile with practical accessory support.
