Our Story: Fueled by Adventure, Built for the Trail

At RADO Designs, our story began on the rugged trails of Colorado, not in a boardroom. In 2016, a new Tacoma sparked our love for off-roading, transforming from a truck into a trusted companion for epic adventures across Colorado’s diverse landscapes. For three years, we customized it, tested its limits, and chased new horizons, igniting a dream to craft our own exceptional off-road gear.

From Passion to Purpose: The Birth of RADO Designs

When 2020 brought unexpected challenges to the world, we saw an opportunity to turn our vision into reality. Countless hours of sketching, prototyping, and refining led to our first product by fall 2020. Within months, we launched a lineup of three accessories tailored for 4th and 5th generation 4Runners, each designed with the trail in mind.

In those early days, every sale was personal. We built our brand through word-of-mouth, the trust of friends, and genuine social media connections. For our first year, we hand-delivered every order, forging relationships as strong as the gear we crafted.

RADO Designs: Where Colorado Meets the Open Road – A Family Affair

Inspired by Colorado’s adventurous spirit, we proudly carry the name “RADO Designs.” After relocating to Michigan, we launched radodesignsco.com to share our trail-ready gear with explorers everywhere.

As a small, family-owned business—run by one man and his loyal, ever-watchful dog, and the occasional toddler—RADO Designs is driven by real-world trail experiences. Every product is engineered to endure the toughest adventures, proudly Trail Tested and Built in the USA. We’re not just crafting gear; we’re empowering fellow explorers to conquer their own trails.
