I have installed this extender and used it to move my 17 foot wooden rowing scull. I've wanted a way that I could load and unload my boat by myself. This extremely well made system is exactly what I had hoped it would be.

I am also a total worry-wort when it comes to carrying things on my truck. I always worry about straps breaking, things flying off and such. So I had imagined that I would just use the the Extender to help me load, but then attach the boat to the tailgate and truck rack for driving. However, the extender is so solid and rugged that I felt totally comfortable using it for driving. I wish I hadn't waited so long to purchase.

Also, it's made in Maine so what more could you ask for.

Works like a charm transporting our kayaks in our Ridgeline! Also the bed extender is easy to install and remove when not in use.

Great shot, John! Where were you when you took this pic?

by: Diane 06/26/2026

Ok so the roller predetermined the preset width. My yak only needs 40"
Also the roller pads and velcro logo sox don't fit the true 2" roller
I expected better out if the cost of the China rack.
The wobble clamp on the tow hitch has to be wrecked on and off for removal

by: Francis 08/21/2022

This is how I turned this into 5 star product: Wings are too loose in the T Bar for the roller to stay level and turn freely. I shimmed the wings with washers and used bolts to make everything snug.I used bolts wherever it called for lock pins. My sole purpose is to load my kayak into the truck. It seems more secure against theft when the truck is left in the parking area.

If they fix the wing issue I would give a 5 star review.

Love it

by: John 04/17/2026

As with other Malone products, I own this bed extender is very rugged very well-made and easy to assemble. Even though I own him alone, Trailer, sometimes it’s nice just to be able to throw something in the bed and not have the trailer. Very happy.

by: James 09/03/2024

Good product! I will recommend it. Much easier to load my 70# kayak in my truck than on my roof racks. Plus I can load all of my fishing gear into my kayak before I leave the house. It dismantles easily to store in the truck when in the parking lot.

Still working great. I use it to transport my kayak with my Ford Maverick

by: Louis 04/01/2025

Package arrived 1 day earlier than expected, packaged ok, some scuffs and scratches on parts,hence the 4 star. If you need instructions they are average, but simple installation and the rubber roller is awesome, softer than expected from description but firm enough to last. Can't wait for the weather to break to start using my kayak

I can definitely get a paint credit sent your way so that you can touch up those scuffs Louis. I'm glad install was a breeze for you. Hope it’s smooth sailing from here on out!

Use 3-4 times a week hauling my fishing kayak. Been on a couple of 300 mile trips.Still like new, super well constructed.

by: Darren 09/12/2023 One Year Later

The roller doesn't work properly, does not roll even when i put my kayak on it. The 2 sides that turn up are very rough and scuffs anything you haul. Also, needs to have some eyelets for tie downs.

I do know that the roller is available as a separate item a part # MAL97AR on the site.

by: Max 07/29/2022

Solid piece of equipment! I loaded up 2 Hobie sit on top kayaks in the small bed of my pickup (5 1/2 ft), and the test drive went great! No rattling or movement after utilizing all 4 of the tie downs provided. The smaller diameter ratcheted lines easily fit through the scuppers, and the other regular cam straps worked well for tying down the sterns to the “goal posts” and hitch safery chain loops along side the receiver. I’m really happy with Malone products. I also love the 6 kayak rack in my side yard.

by: Rebecca 07/03/2025

I like the adjustability and that it breaks down small for storage in between uses. Solid and well made. Coating should hold up to saltwater.

by: Fletch 08/28/2022

This solved all my problems loading my large 14' kayak in the back of my truck. It allows 1 person to load and unload with ease, plus it protects the hull from scratches that a normal bed extender causes. The roller makes all the difference in the world!

by: Karl 03/12/2022

Although it’s 25 degrees out today, the coldest day of March here in Michigan, and the box arrived yesterday, I’m thrilled to have it. And thanks to the folks at etrailer who kept me updated and in the loop the whole time! Great customer service work!

It's great. works just like I need it too. Quick shipping. Love doing business with Etrailer.

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?

Dimensions Of Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller MAL32VR
Hello Russ. As far as the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR, the roller itself is 42" wide. The roller can extend 53", and this is measured from the center of the roller to the center of the hitch pin hole. I hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else you need.

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...

Does The Axis Load Roller Extend In And Out On The Malone Truck Bed And Roof Load Extender
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.

Load Assist for Loading Canoe On Malone TradeSport Truck Bed Ladder Rack
The Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR will allow you to more easily load your canoe on the Malone TradeSport Truck Bed Ladder Rack # MAL55VR. This roller also acts as an extension to provide a more stable platform for holding the canoe. It can also be used with other long loads as a bed extender.

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.

Is there Any Drilling Required to Install the Malone Axis Load Roller # MAL52VR?
No, there is no drilling required to install any component of the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller - 2" Hitches # MAL32VR or just the Malone Axis Load Roller for Malone Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender - 42" Long # MAL52VR. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the pre-drilled holes on the uprights to install the rollers at timestamp 13:30.

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...

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)...

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.

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.

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...
