Great when hauling loads just longer than the truck's bed, but not longer than the tailgate.
Features:
Specs:
The bed expander is mounted securely with stainless steel hardware to one bracket on each side of the truck's tailgate.
To remove the truck bed expander, just pull the pins.
Bed expander folds up, leaving all but 5" of the bed available for cargo.

This bed extender is awesome. I installed it on my 2007 Ranger. I was really impressed by how heavy grade, and high quality the hardware is. The cage itself is made really well as well and the stainless steel brackets are master pieces. This extender will probably out live the truck! The installation was very easy, i used a drill press and put new holes in the bracket and lined it up with the existing holes on my Ranger Tailgate. The directions are very clear, and i cant speak highly enough for how heavy duty the brackets are. The extender adds about 15 pounds of weight to the tailgate which the tailgate handles with no problem. It adds about 6" of depth to the tailgate. I love this system because you can still use your full bed length and keep your tonneau cover closed. theres no bulky cage to swing in or out. if you need the bed length you just drop the tail gate and this is folded out into position in seconds. I haul big bulky gear for windsurfing and can now haul masts and sails that are just over 7.5' long. If you need to take it off, you just pop out the two stainless pins, the whole cage comes right off and can be easily stowed against the wall in your garage taking up limited space. I was concerned about the 'universal fit' but dont let that alarm you, they built a very high quality, ingenious product. 22557

Rarely does an online order show up sooner than promised, on top of that, the Bed Extender is Fantastic. One half hour to install, including searching for the right bits. Extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend to my best friends, yep, even the in-laws. BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!82552

Shipping on this product was incredibly fast! I received a notice the same night that I ordered that the part was ready to be shipped and the next day it hit the mail. The product came and was in great shape, unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will work with a 2011 Ram 1500 because the rails need a flat place to bolt to the bed. It did look very interesting however, how it would fold up and flip open. I really wish it had worked, but it looks like I'll be testing out etrailer.com's return policy....31666

Im pleased with my purchase. It should have come with longer mounting bolts though. My truck has a bed liner and the bolts that were supplied did not work. Took a bit of creativity to install but overall Im happy with my purchase. Excellent customer service and delivery was quickly.80769

The extender was at my door step in no time. I had bought it as a Birthday gift for my husband and he was so excited he couldnt wait to install it. It was a fairly easy install bout 45min with the both of us working on it. It had a few scrathes on it but nothing that can be seen without really examining it up close. There is no shaking or rattling when driving and it takes up no space in the bed and it looks shall I say pretty dang sexy! 77164

The unit itself is well designed, very light, and folds down quite compactly and is easily removed, BUT, it is far from a "universal" fit as regards my 2012 Nissan Frontier. The supplied turn-nut fasteners simply will not work due to the raised fiberglass tailgate cover. The gap between it and the sheet metal of the tailgate render the nuts too short to grab the metal and too long just to grab the fiberglass cover (which would be a weak install if done that way). After drilling, I had to remove the cover and epoxy stainless nuts to the underside of the drilled holes in the sheet metal, replace the cover, then assemble the extender brackets. Someone at Topline needs to check out the Nissan Frontier tailgate. Other than this hassle, the product works well.71610

Installation on a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche went smoothly, taking about 30 minutes. The instructions that come with the product are well-written; clear and useful. The fit of the bed extender on the tailgate is excellent. Very sturdy. Recommend highly.9734

Installation is terrible. Trying to install this produst on a Chevolet Avalanche does not work with the hardware supplied.The bed of the tailgate is between 3/16 & 1/4 inch thick and the toggle bolts supplied will only work on sheet metal.2895
