Kwik Gate used as a bed extender and as to secure a bulky item

Convert-A-Ball's Kwik Gate works as a bed extender and offers an extra layer of security when you are transporting large, flat items such as drywall or paneling.

Whether up, down or extended, Kwik Gate helps you transport your cargo more safely. In the raised position, it steadies tall items. Folded back into the cab, it keeps gasoline containers or ladders right where you want them. It works great for transporting bikes and motorcycles, too.

Not only a versatile workhorse, the gate adds convenience and fun to your life, too. Go ahead and grab one of the sturdy side handles to take the "grunt and groan" out of climbing up into your truck bed. Or better yet, sit and relax at lunchtime, using the rail as a foot prop. Excellent for tailgating parties!



Warning: Do not operate your truck with the gate in the down position. Always stow the gate before moving your vehicle.

I have been looking for a bed extender with a gate and this is the only one I've found. All others require you to completely take off the bed extender, which is not what I wanted as I use my 2010 Toyota Tacoma (short-bed) to load/unload a 250+ lb lawn aerator. This is not getting an excellent rating only since it is not a 100% perfect fit. It is universal and does work on my composite tailgate. About 1/2 of the screws go into sheet metal within the tailgate with the others just going into the composite material. It works as I would expect. I did have to buy a long clevis pin and fastener since during installation the handles and the gates have a little bit larger gap. I also had to drill out the holes for the upper gate connection, but it does not impact function. Overall, very happy thus far. I can still use my ramps to load/unload my equipment and I now have more room in my truck bed. Plus, I can still get my truck in the garage every night to protect my equipment from elements - both bad humans and weather. Shipping from etrailer.com was fast and tracking was helpful. Received the package within 7-10 days of ordering. Great purchase!71760

  • Bed Extender and Tailgate Step for a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The Convert-A-Ball Kwik Gate Bed Extender and Tailgate Step, # KG48, is considered a universal fit item. It measures 48 inches wide. You will need to measure your bed width to determine if it will fit your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I am not convinced that it is a fit based on the 48 inch measurement. The reason is because the other bed extenders we carry are also not listed as a fit and they are at least 48 inches wide. But you may be interested in # CAB-SG-2R. This is also a tailgate

  • Can a 50 lb Ladder be Rested on Top of The Convert-A-Ball Bed Extender Part # KG48
  • Since the Kwik Gate Bed Extender is also intended for use as a tail gate step, a 50 lb ladder will pose no problem at all. Just to be sure, I phoned my contact at Convert-A-Ball. I was told that when used as a step, the bed extender has been tested up to 400 lbs. The product will be more than strong enough for your needs.

  • Truck Bed Extender Recommendation to Carry Kayak or Ladder in Truck Bed
  • If you have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver on your truck, then you may be interested in the Darby Extend-A-Truck Hitch Mounted Load Extender, # DTA944. This is the only product that we carry that will extend past your tail gate to carry items such as ladders or a kayak. You may also be interested in the Darby Foam Kayak Block, # DTA924. This will protect the hull of your kayak from the metal crossbar. Our other truck bed extenders will extend your truck bed to the length of your tail ga

  • What is the Recommended Truck Bed Expander for 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  • Since the Covert-A-Ball Kwik Gate Bed Extender and Tailgate Step # KG48 is a universal-fit item, it is compatible for your vehicle. For your 2010 Toyota Tacoma, however, I recommend the Topline Fold Down Truck Bed Expander # BX4004-02. The Topline Bed Expander telescopes to fit almost any size pickup, expanding from 48 inches. and takes up only 5 inches of truck bed when not in use. It is light weight and durable and is easily removed in approximately 30 seconds with the removal of two releas
