The adjustable Yakima LongArm extends 4' from your 2" hitch to let you transport oversized cargo at either truck bed, bed rail, or cab height. The versatile load extender has a 60" long support bar that's perfect for carrying kayaks, a canoe, ladders, lumber, or any other load that extends past the end of your truck, SUV, or UTV. Constructed out of lightweight aluminum, the LongArm has a durable powder coat finish to ensure that it stands up to whatever your adventures throw at it
Customizable Cargo Control
The LongArm features 4 adjustable positions, allowing it to be customized to your vehicle as well as the load you're carrying. The included height adapter works in conjunction with a roof rack (sold separately) so you can carry gear at cab height. This configuration also increases your carrying capacity by allowing you to transport gear both in and above your truck bed. The adapter has 11 levels of adjustment, ensuring it'll be the perfect fit for your vehicle and whatever gear you're hauling.
This position also allows the LongArm to be stowed up and out of the way, near your truck's tailgate, when not in use. Be sure to lower the crossbar back to its original position.
In its lowest position (bed extender configuration), the LongArm lets you haul long loads that extend past the bed of your truck.
The two middle positions (rail height configurations) work in conjunction with a truck bed crossbar system (sold separately) so you can carry gear at bed rail height. Similar to the cab height position, you can carry gear both in and above your truck bed. The two available settings allow the LongArm to work with truck beds of different heights.
Adjustable Crossbar with Tie-Down Points
The LongArm's crossbar extends 60" across and has 3 adjustable height settings, ensuring your cargo stays level with the your truck's tailgate or bed rails. Integrated tie-down points located in the endcaps secure your equipment to the crossbar.
Once you're done with your adventures for the day, kick back and pop open a cold one with the built-in bottle openers on either end of the crossbar.
The available crossbar pad (Y07417 - sold separately) protects your equipment from scrapes and scratches while hauling. Velcro closures hold the pad closed, and it can be positioned in the center of the bar or on either side.
Easy installation with Threaded Hitch Pin
The LongArm installs quickly and easily with a threaded, anti-rattle hitch pin. Simply slide the shank into your 2" hitch receiver, insert the threaded hitch pin, and tighten it down with the included wrench. This not only secures the rack to your vehicle, but also reduces noise and movement while the extender is installed.
For added security you can add a hitchlock (Y07235 - sold separately) to lock the LongArm to your vehicle's hitch receiver. The lock simply attaches over the existing hitch pin and features a Same Key System (SKS) lock core and keys. The lock can also be swapped out to make all of your Yakima products keyed alike.

I bought this aluminum bed extender / roof rack extender about a year ago. I haven't used it a lot but when I need it, works great. I use it on my Rivian mostly for carrying long lumber or kayaks. The adjustment to switch between bed extender and roof rack is pretty simple. I like the light weight of the aluminum. I would recommend this product.

Works great as an extender for the roof racks on Tesla Model Y. Need the extension bar. With it and the setting just back from vertical it is almost perfectly level with the roof racks. It sits 7' back from the rear roof bar and 10' back from the front one, so carrying 20' lumber or a long double kayak should be great. Solid, it mounts through the receiver with a threaded bolt to prevent rattle.

I purchased this because I needed to extend the length of my kayak roof rack after buying a 17’ kayak. I have it installed on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it provides a very stable rear mount that prevents the kayak from being over stressed while bouncing down the road. The normal front and rear tie down ropes had to be so tight that my kayak was bending in the middle. This rack is very well made, adjustable, and easy to install.

At first the item was not in stock so customer service offered a similar item along with an estimate of getting the original item in stock. I elected to stay with the original item (the Yak longarm). Well they got the item in stock a week before their estimate, so I had it in my grubby little hands and installed a full week BEFORE they had estimated actually having it. Reminds me of Scotty on the original Star Trek series - take your estimate , multiply by 4, then when you get it done in half the time everyone is happy. The item arrived in new condition with all parts. I will definitely be ordering from etrailer again. Very Satisfied.

This thing is exactly what I have been waiting for for many years as a painter I do not like ladder racks that are always on and I do not like 200 lb steel units that I have had in the past I kept asking around for an aluminum one to be invented and WOW here it is the weight is almost nothing and I can not carry my 40 foot extension ladders with ease then take the unit off for the weekends etc I could not be happier plus it is a yakima which have always been one of the best out there for portability and durability

Were glad youre happy with your purchase, Ron. Im not sure how many ladders youre carrying, but I just wanted to let you know per the product description, the load extender has a 165 lb capacity when used in the upright, vertical position and a 300 lb capacity when used in the horizontal position.

I have been looking for a way to carry long, relatively light loads above the roof of my Jeep Wrangler while minimizing the load on the plastic roof which has short, weak rain gutters over the doors. I have a "Goal Post" unit that works well in my front hitch receiver but it would not fit behind the spare tire on the rear door. The Yakima Long Arm Load Extender fits nicely in the back and when combined with the Goal Post unit in front and two roof bars, provides a four point support for long loads.
The only down side is that it requires a little pre-planning as the rear door can't be opened with the Yakima unit in place. That is OK for me as I will only install it temporarily when carrying a long load.
PS I took some photos for you but for some unknown reason your web site says they are "unsuccessful to upload". Maybe you will get them but maybe not.

I'm giving it 5 stars because I think it's going to work well. It arrived on time, directions were well written and assembly was easy. Attached it to my Ridgeline without any problems. My primary use is for hauling kayaks and occasional longer items like ladder/lumber that don't fit in the bed of the Ridgeline. I picked the Yakima LongArm instead of other brands because it can be folded up when not in use. After unloading the kayaks, I can easily fold it up and park the vehicle without worrying someone accidently hitting it in the parking lot. I'm glad I bought the Roof Load Extender because this allows more adjustments so that the kayak/ladder can sit flat on the bed of the truck. Without the Extender, there aren't enough height adjustments to make it the same height as the truck bed. Overall I think it is a great product.

Worked great with my frontier and 10 foot kayaks with room to spare. I also bought the extension. It's nice but not sure I needed it. Only thing wrong was the first holes on the extension didn't line up right and had to drill them out to make it go as short as possible.

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Truck Bed Extender
- How To Carry Two Kayaks On Their Sides In the Bed Of a Honda RidgelineThe solution I have for you to carry two kayaks with your 2017 Honda Ridgeline is as follows. I recommend you obtain a 1" x 4" piece of lumber to span the width of your truck bed and then attach a set of j-style cradles directly to this, the Swagman Contour Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed Arms part # S65148 would work well. The Yakima LongArm Bed and Roof Load Extender part # Y01149-1150 could then be used to secure the tail end of your kayaks. The cross arm on the Yakima...
view full answer... - Which Size Crossbars for Thule Hullavator Pro on 2026 Ford F-350Hi Tom! I just got to this one so I'm guessing you're going with the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 for your setup. I don't have the exact measurement for the 60" bars but it looks like it is too close to call. It will be 4-8" on the top. The 70" bar setup would be best, and it won't be too wide for your truck. Once again you will need the following: -BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR -BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06185 -Yakima JetStream Crossbars...
view full answer... - Availability of Ladder Rack for 2023 Honda RidgelineHi Patrick; the only thing we have that falls under a ladder rack is the Front Runner Slimline II Truck Bed Platform Rack # FR66RJ you looked at. We don't have a standard ladder rack for the 2023 Honda Ridgeline and non of the major manufacturers like Yakima or Thule make one. What some customers have done in the past is use a truck bed extender and/or roof rack. The Yakima LongArm Bed and Roof Load Extender for 2" Hitches # Y01149-1150 would help you carry longer loads like a ladder...
view full answer... - Comparing Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Extender and Bed and Roof Load ExtenderThe # Y01149-1150 is the the # Y01149 paired with the Height Extension for Yakima LongArm # Y01150. The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 you purchased has the highest capacity at 400 lbs.
view full answer... - Using the Yakima LongArm as a Load Assist Just Like the Rhino-Rack T-LoadThe Yakima LongArm with Extender, part # Y01149-1150, can be used as a lift-assist like the Rhino-Rack T-Load, part # RTL002, in theory. However, the setup is not ideal or one I recommend. The advantages the T-Load has are the loading strap and the two brackets. The strap acts as a cradle when lifting the kayak, both securing it and protecting the kayak from scratching on the rack. The brackets also act as a stabilizer, ensuring the kayak doesn't sway too far to the sides if the kayak...
view full answer... - Maximum and Minimum Heights of Yakima LongArm Load ExtenderWithout the extension piece installed the Yakima LongArm Bed and Roof Load Extender # Y01149-1150 sits 9" out and 46-3/4" up from the center of the hitch pin hole (see attached photo). The extension piece adds between 7-1/2" and 21-1/2" to the height so with the extension you're looking at 9" out and then 54-1/4" min to 68-1/4" max up from the center of the hitch pin hole. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

- What Hitch Pin Lock Fits the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender? Yes! If you have either the Yakima LongArm # Y01149-1150 or the # Y01149, the locking hitch pin you need is the Yakima HitchLock for Yakima Hitch Mounted Bike Racks - Same Key System # Y07235. This hitch lock attaches to the hitch bolt that comes with the LongArm. If you need the replacement hitch bolt itself, that is the # Y8890200.

If you want some extra protection for your boat you can add a pad to the crossbar with the Crossbar Pad # Y07417, and while the LongArm includes...
view full answer... - Best Way to Carry a Kayak on a 2018 Honda Ridgeline Using Crossbars and Bed ExtenderI recommend the Yakima LongArm, part # Y01149-1150, for the hitch extender. This is a pretty new part offered from Yakima and they were here a few months ago showing it off to us. This thing is solid and it's versatile since it can be set at roof or bed height. I've linked a video from when our installers tested it out for you. Since you don't want a permanent roof rack take a look at the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. The crossbars connect to your Ridgeline's roof using vacuum...
view full answer... - How To Carry a Kayak and Canoe on a 2019 Ram 1500 While TowingIn order to carry a canoe and or kayak on your 2019 Ram 1500 I recommend placing them on a roof rack with a roof mounted carrier as you don't really have any other options when towing a trailer. For a roof rack, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System which is composed of part # Y00423, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06135. This system has aero shaped cross bars for reduced wind noise and a sleek look. In order to secure a canoe and or kayak to the above roof rack, I recommend using...
view full answer... - Carrying a Canoe While Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2015 Ford F-350 Crew CabOther than the front mount hitch for your 2015 Ford F-350 such as # 65049 you will also need at least a single roof rack bar and a carrier of some kind to hold the canoe. This would be in addition to a support used in the front mount hitch. For a single roof rack bar you could save some money and use the Darby Turbo rack # DTA968. It uses a strap that runs through the interior of the vehicle to secure to the roof. Otherwise I recommend a regular roof rack with 2 crossbars for more support...
view full answer... - Recommended Truck Bed Load Extender For Carrying A Canoe At Cab HeightThe Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender - 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 300 lbs # Y01149 that you were looking at is only suitable for truck bed-height loads. For a cab-height load you will want to go with the Yakima LongArm Bed and Roof Load Extender for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 165 lbs # Y01149-1150. I also recommend adding Crossbar Pad # Y07417 to prevent your canoe or other items from getting scratched. This measures 28" long and wraps around the Yakima Longarm crossbar. You could also...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Occasionally Carrying Kayaks On a 2017 Ford F-150 Short Bed With Tonneau CoverThe Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4000964 is going to be one of the easiest ladder rack systems to completely remove from your 2017 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2' bed and a tonneau cover. It attaches though the stake pockets unlike the Truxedo TS Rails # TH65FR which mount behind the tonneau cover rails. I do have another recommendation in the Yakima LongArm Bed and Roof Load Extender # Y01149-1150. You could use this along with the Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover # LOM97FR....

This would be the best solution for that configuration but I agree that there will be too much of the kayak unsupported for this to be practical so I recommend adding a roof rack to your 2020 Toyota Tacoma and using a load carrying extension...
view full answer... - How to Carry 2 Kayaks on a 2015 Toyota TacomaThere are several different ways you can carry 2 kayaks with your 2015 Toyota Tacoma. First, you could put them in the bed of the truck and use a tailgate pad such as # S64761 to protect both the truck and the kayaks and to secure the kayaks to the tailgate and pad. Another option is to utilize your trailer hitch (as long as it is a 2 inch hitch) and half of a roof rack. It sounds a little strange but if you put one crossbar on the roof and then used the Yakima LongArm, # Y01149-1150,...

Unfortunately, while we do not have an extender to make any of our roof load extenders longer, we do have a rack that has the length you need without any additional length needed. That is the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender - 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 300 lbs # Y01149. The LongArm measures 60 inches from end-to-end and comes with a maximum weight capacity of 300 pounds. This sits at 42-3/4 inches at maximum raised height....
view full answer... - Carrying a 12.5 foot Inflatable Fishing Raft on a 2012 Ram 2500 Mega Cab with Camper ShellFor a roof rack to install on the Leer camper shell of your 2012 Ram 2500 Mega Cab I recommend the TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack # TH29200XT. Since it installs on your camper there is some drilling required which will make it more of a permanent installation, but it will provide a great rack that has a weight limit that is the same as your camper. A roof rack on your Mega Cab might not be necessary since you are planning on using the Yakima LongArm # Y01149-1150, but if you decide to I recommend...
view full answer... - Carrying a Kayak on a 2016 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Short Bed with Tonneau CoverUsing a load extender with a roof rack is a great idea! It will allow you to keep the tailgate closed and the Tonneau cover in place just like you want. To make that happen let's first look at roof racks. Since you will be using a load extender you can use a single bar roof rack. You will just need bar # RRVA150S, feet # RRRLKVAH, and fit kit # DK427H. Then, for a load extender, I recommend # Y01149-1150. It will not only support the kayak in the loaded position but it also helps load...
view full answer... - Recommended Way to Transport Kayaks and an ATV On a 2015 Ram 2500 With RamBox BedI have a recommendation for you as the only ladder racks we have for your 2015 Ram 2500 with the RamBox bed are only 11" from the top rail. The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Truck Bed Rack # RR33SP will only sit 11" above your bed rails and have to attach to the Ram factory utility tracks. I recommend the Yakima Hitch Mounted Load Bar # Y01149-1150 be used with the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712500. The crossbars will mount to the roof of your Ram with the Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit...
view full answer... - Help Loading Kayaks onto Crossbars on a Truck Camper ShellThe ideal solution to make it easier to load your kayaks is the LongArm # Y01149-1150 for a 2 inch hitch. It will make it so much easier to get the kayak up to the roof. Another option is the Inno kayak lifter load assist # INA453. Instead of helping load from the back it helps from the side. Take a look at the video I have linked showing how it works.

For this, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System which is composed of part # Y00422, part # Y53TR, and part # Y00229. The Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System is an excellent option for you because it has aero crossbars for decrease wind noise, overhang past...

The first option would be to place part of the canoe on the roof and the other part on a t-load carrier at the rear. For this, I recommend using the Yakima JetStream Crossbars System (Double/Crew Cab Only) which is composed of part # Y00426, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06122 with the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier part # Y04069. This will then allow you...
view full answer... - Front Hitch for 2021 Ram 2500 to Carry Thule Goalpost or Yakima LongArmThe front hitch I would recommend for your 2021 Ram 2500 is the EcoHitch part # EH37FR because it sits up the highest and is the least recessed for clearance when using the Yakima LongArm # Y01149-1150 or the Thule Goalpost # TH997. Both of these would easily stick out far enough to clear the front bumper of your truck.

The weight capacity of most vehicle roofs is not very high and this information should be located in your owners manual. It is likely that you will not be able to safely load both kayaks on your roof due to the weight of both kayaks....
