• Why Don't You Carry a Load Extender with a 48" Roller bar?
  Hello Jim, Great question, I went to Malone's site and and I do not see that they make one with a 48" roller. The great thing about the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR is that it is adjustable, the roller is 60". Is there a specific 48" roller you had in mind? If you can shoot me over the details I would be more than happy to try to get it added to our site. We are adding new things everyday. What were you looking to use the extender for?

• Does etrailer Have Information on Restrictions for Truck Bed Extenders in Other States
  Hi Sandy; we do not have any information on laws in other states regarding truck bed extensions. The best thing you can do is reach out to local or state law enforcement and ask them what the limitations are. The Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR extends out 53" from the center of your hitch pin hole when in the horizontal position. If I had to take a guess the law probably doesn't restrict an actual extender but requires a flag or some other identification...

• Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2020 Mazda CX-5
  The only hitch mounted option wouldn't be an actual carrier, but a support like the Malone Axis # MAL32VR. This would require the installation of a trailer hitch like the # 76138 you looked at. More than likely you won't need this to mount your kayaks on your 2020 Mazda CX-5. Your kayaks will fit completely on a roof rack with a kayak carrier like the one seen in the picture below unless they are incredibly long. If that is the case, then by all means you could add the # MAL32VR to help...

• Carrying 19 Foot Canoe on Yakima Overhaul HD Ladder Rack on 2021 Toyota Tacoma
  It depends on how you're installing it! I installed two versions of the Yakima Overhaul HD on a 2021 Toyota Tacoma with a 5' bed. The OverHaul HD is always my favorite recommendation since it's a super solid ladder rack that looks and works perfectly on the Tacoma. The version that mounts to the utility tracks # Y01151-5868 has a maximum crossbar spread of 40". You can see that measurement around the 3:20 minute mark in the video I attached below. For the version that installs onto tonneau...

  The Malone Axis Load Roller for Malone Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender - 42" Long, part # MAL52VR, that comes with the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller, part # MAL32VR, is fixed in length. It does not extend in and out. You will have to remove this when the extender is at a length less than 42". I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

• Can Malone Hitch Extender MAL32VR Angle Back Like Rhino Rack T-Load
  The Malone Load Extender part # MAL32VR that you referenced does not have ability to angle back like the Rhino Rack T-Load part # RTL002 has so your best option would be to go with the Rhino Rack.

• How to Carry a 98-LB Kayak on a 2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali
  For a 2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali, Yakima makes a great roof rack system. I recommend the HD bars, part # Y01156. They are heavy-duty bars capable of handling your kayak. To mount them to your tracks, you will need the SkyLine Towers, part # Y53TR, along with the HD Bar SL Adapter, part # Y03541, and the Landing Pad 20, part # Y00246. The total system can handle 165 pounds, but check your owner's manual to ensure your roof can handle that much. Since your kayak is so long, using the Malone...

• Longest Truck Bed Extended for Hauling Longer Load in Truck Bed
  The Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender part # MAL32VR will provide an extension of 53" when measured from the center of the hitch pin to the load bar when used in the horizontal position. I can't say whether this is enough support for your particular load but I can say it's the longest extension we offer. I'd also advise you to check with local state officials for regulations on oversized loads while traveling.

• Can The Malone Axis Extender Be Used To Help Support A Kayak On A Roof Rack Of A Jeep Gladiator
  The Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR has multiple height settings to allow it to be both a bed extender or roof rack extension. If you tilt the extender up at the connection point closest to the trailer hitch on your Gladiator then it will sit closer to roof rack height. There's also multiple different heights settings for the other end as well if you remove the pin and clip and slide it up to the desired height, allowing it to match up with your roof...

• Recommendation for Roof Rack and Truck Bed Loader Extension for Kayak
  I recommend going with the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR because it can be used both as a roof rack or truck bed extender and it comes with a loader that not only helps with loading/unloading but it means you don't need a separate pad for your boat. When used in conjunction with your 2014 Honda CR-V you won't be able to open up your rear hatch but that's the case with any roof load extender - they sit too close for you to open up the hatch. If...

• Will Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender Work for Kayak in Back Hatch on 2015 Honda CR-V
  It's probably not the best way to transport a kayak on a 2015 Honda CR-V but it's also not the worst. The Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller part # MAL32VR should work fine for what you're wanting although there's going to be more wear and tear on your vehicle sliding the kayak in and out each time. If you can budget a bit more you can get a much better setup hauling the kayak on the roof using a combo of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars System composed...

• Is there a Locking Locking Pin for My Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender?
  Hello Alan, Great question! The specifications of the Lock Pins that come with the # MAL32VR are 3/8" diameter, and 3" long. We do not have anything that is going to be a good fit, I did reach out to the tech at Malone to see if a 1/4" lock like the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock - 3-3/8" Span - 1/4" Diameter - Chrome # e98888, he said that one would have a little too much slop. Instead he suggested: The customer could use the included Pins, but then buy tamper-resistant (hex or torx)...
