The adjustable Yakima LongArm extends 4' from your 2" hitch to let you transport oversized cargo at either truck bed or bed rail 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. 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. This configuration increases your carrying capacity because it allows you to transport gear both in and above your truck bed. And the two available settings allow the LongArm to work with truck beds of different heights.
The fourth position allows the LongArm to be stowed up and out of the way, near your truck's tailgate, when not in use.
An available height adapter (Y01150 - sold separately) works in conjunction with a roof rack (sold separately) so you can carry gear at cab height. The adapter has 11 levels of adjustment, ensuring it'll be the perfect fit for your vehicle and whatever gear you're hauling.
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 think Yakima and e-trailer need to be more transparent with their product information.
No where on any sites or forums that I read was there any mention of incompatibility with various pick up trucks!
So reading that I was under the impression that it would correctly fit a pure stock 2019 F-150 Lariot with a 6 1/2’ bed.
Assembled and installed the unit and adjusted the T bar to its fullest extension only tho be 1 3/4” lower than the bed of my truck!
Called Yakima and explained my situation to the “Tech” woman. Her response was that Yakima can’t build such a product that will fit all pickups! they could only insure that it would correctly fit a 2” receiver! So how about publishing a guide which informs which vehicles are compatible with the unit.
After numerous conversations with e-trailer customer services I finally was able to communicate with someone who actually took interest in my situation. Unfortunately in order to return the product ( which through no fault on my own) won’t fit, I would be charged return shipping!
So here I am attempting to Jerri rig something to make it work.
My advice to anyone who is interested in purchasing this item for their pickup make doubly sure the product is compatible from the beginning. Otherwise you will be stuck in the same unfortunate situation as I.

Exactly what I was hoping for I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra with a crew cab so only a 5 1/2 foot bed. The bed has a two drawer Decked system. This allows both my 10 ft and 12ft kayaks to sit on the Decked platform with support that is perfectly level and secure at the far end.

Just assembled my Yakima Long-Arm for my Tacoma pickup. Easy to assemble and adjust. Love that it’s aluminum and like the flexibility provided by the available adjustments. Wished the height in the upright position was a couple inches taller to better accommodate putting a canoe on the cab roof. Looking forward to giving this a try soon.

I have the a new GMC truck with the new MultiPRO tailgate, which doesn't lay as flat a the tailgates I've seen on most trucks. (It has a slight upward tilt)
The Yakima Extender has several adjustment holes, to change the elevation of the crossbar, but the lowest adjustment hole was below the level of the tailgate and the next adjustment was too high above the level of the tailgate. I tried contacting Yakima, to talk to their Engineering Department about adding a set of holes between the two lowest adjustment holes, but I was informed their Engineering Department wasn't working due to COVID and if I made any modifications on my own the warranty would be voided.
I ended up Ty-rapping a set of padded kayak holders, designed for an aerodynamic style roof rack, to the top of the crossbars to fill the gap, which also added padding between the crossbar and the kayaks.
I can't fault Yakama for their Engineering department being out due to the pandemic, but I also didn't want to void the warranty of the $[xxx] Extender or my new $65,000 truck. That being said, I like having the padding between the crossbar and kayaks and I love the Yakama LongArm Extender and would highly recommend it to anyone.
The multi-position LongArm also gives me the ability to change the position of the Extender from the full down position to the full up position, so that once I get my kayaks unloaded, I can change the position of the extender and park in a standard parking space, versus taking up two parking spaces with my old truck and trailer combo.

The LongArm arrived well packaged and without damage. When I unpackaged it to begin the installation on our 2020 Toyota Tacoma (5 ft. bed) the question foremost on my mind was “what tools will I need for assembly?” Yakima took care of that for us — all necessary tools are included! And now those tools have been added to my kit bag stowed under the rear seat, ready if I should need them.
The material and craftsmanship of the product is excellent. As this was my first Yakima product it would be fair to say that it exceeded my expectations. By the build quality this company seems to mean what it says about a lifetime warranty.
Assembly was very easy because the assembly and installation instructions were clear and concise. And it fit our vehicle as indicated in etrailer’s very helpful product video.
One question I had was whether or not the product, while in the upright position, would interfere with the view offered by the tailgate backup camera. It does not (see photo).
The LongArm, used in conjunction with the BedRock HD bed rail racks, will provide us with the carrying configuration we wanted, making it both easier for us to load/unload our watercraft, and provide storage space in the bed.
Note: We were looking for a way to carry my wife’s SUP and my kayak in the bed of our 2020 Toyota Tacoma (5 ft. bed) without them sticking up in the air or hanging off the back unsupported. We also wanted both watercraft to lay flat. And, we needed space to haul other gear. Because of the width of the bed we were not able to achieve that, though the SUP would lay flat. I was able to cushion the kayak against the SUP sufficiently and attach both to the LongArm. To achieve our desire for both craft to lay flat and have room for additional gear we purchased the BedRock HD Bed Rail Rack.

I purchased this so that I could transport a long kayak over the bed of my truck and keep the tailgate closed. This is much better than some of the universal extenders I've seen. It took a little trial and error to get the height exactly where I needed it but now the kayak sits perfectly on the extender, the tailgate and my makeshift cross bar. I don't have to worry about it moving around while driving and can still use the entire bed. The product was easy to assemble and is surprisingly light. My only gripe is the hitch pin threads into a nut inside the tube. I'm assuming this is to help with wobbling but a standard hitch pin will not fit. If you want to really lock the extender you'll have to purchase the additional locking pin from Yakima. The bar padding was out of stock when I purchased the extender so I just got some pipe insulation and zip tied it around the bar. At least I saved $[XX[ there!

Overall, Yakima makes a nice quality product. I did have to make some modifications as it did not give me just what I needed for support with my 2019 Honda Ridgeline. I put an extra mounting hole in the T-Bar so that I could mount it all of the way in. Then I had to add extra hole to the Tongue bracket to get the correct angle to support a load sticking out of the bed of the truck. I also picked up a pair of Nylock nuts for the bolts rather than using the lock washers provided. I will have to add a grommet to the flag in order to use it. Overall the unit is very solid when I have it mounted on my truck

The hitch mounted truck bed/tailgate extender works perfect for transporting our 14’ Hobie tandem mirage drive Kayak. Its very durable yet light enough to remove and store easily. Its the perfect solution for getting our kayak to nearby lakes with minimal effort and no hassle. Great product

It gets the job done from the house to the river. Yes it wobbles, less with the kayak's weight strapped down. We are using it for hauling a kayak with the cars hatch lid open and the kayak extending out the rear. In the fully upright and extended arm position one could run the kayak overhead on the Crosstrek roof rack and have additional length supported off the back.
This is very light weight and easy to use.

Well made. I use on my Dodge Ram 5'6" bed pickup for my 14' paddleboards. Wish there was a quick pin option for flipping it up and down. As well as one for taking it in and out of the receiver. The screw holds it tight, but for going around the corner to the put in, it is a bit of a pain.

A year later and the LongArm performed well. Limited elevation increments exist however it was fine for my application. Folks at etrailer were top rate resolving a supply chain delay to keep me on schedule to start a three weeK outing?? Yakima pricing for the lock is obscene.

The product works great. Loading and carrying my kayaks is easy and reliable in my short bed Jeep Gladiator. When using an above cab rack, the Bed Extender doubles as a load assist from the back of the truck. Start by setting Bed Extender rack to the lowest height setting. From the rear of the truck, use the Yakima to support one end of the kayak. Then lift and push the kayak from the other end. After loading, raise the Yakima Bed Extender to the truck rack height.
A tip for ease of adjustment: I changed out the T-arm support bolts to quick flip clevis pins. This allows for quick and secure ajustment of the Yakima Extender height.
Best boat rack I have ever owned.

I bought this to help with my Mad River canoe, getting it on my cap and strapping it down. I have a 2018 Tacoma , 5ft bed ,and a Lear cap with Yakima racks. Inside the cap
I built a insert for gear and mounted dog crate. I compete with my dog In hunt tests and field trials. When I train and compete locally he is in the cap with the fans on.On long trips or in Winter he's up front in the cab. I bought the Longarm ,put it in the receiver and checked that it would be tall enough (no problem). I put it away till Spring when I would be using the canoe.I put it in the receiver in Spring and realized I was not able to open the cap (window and tailgate).Not being able to quickly get my dogs out in an emergency situation, or just stopping and letting them air makes it impossible to use.I called Etrailer knowing full well you could not take it back(it is still new).I spoke to Kathy last week and mentioned the Showboat.She was very knowledgeable I know now this is what I need.I'll call her 11/25 and place the order.
I should have done more research on the Longarm its very well made ,I have a ton of Yakima equipment (since 1990) ,everything still works, I'm looking forward to talking to Kathy I have one question for her regarding the Showboat.Thanks

Bad instructions and flawed design, so can't be more than a 3 even if it works perfectly. So for the flawed design, this is not something that you're going to want to have permanently attached to your truck, but yet it mounts to the receiver with a bolt and lock washer. For the bad instructions, contents say 3 lock washers. No, it's 2 small lock washers and one large one for the hitch bolt. What do you do with the 2 small ones? What about the two remaining regular washers? Looks like they're used to attach the T bar at step 4, but it doesn't say. There's no room for all 4 remaining washer and lock washers with the short bolt.

- What Kayak Rack and Bed Extender do You Recommend When Using the Access Lorado # A53VR?Yes! You can use both a kayak rack and a truck bed extender on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator with the Trail Rail system. Since the Access Lorado Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A53VR leaves the stake pockets completely open, you will be able to install a way to install a kayak rack like a stake-pocket mounted ladder rack. As long as the rack uses only the stake pockets without any clamps onto the bed rails, the rack is compatible with the cover. Since the Access Lorado rack is a roll-up style,...

That would allow you to get a rack over the cover and give you 300lbs of carrying capacity. Since you have that 2" hitch you could pair it with the truck bed load extender # Y01149 as well.

When in the fully-extended position the LongArm sits out 48" from the center of your hitch pin hole which means you should have roughly 5' of canoe sitting past that. You can use the Crossbar Pad # Y07417 and some Straps # Y05006 to secure your kayak to the extender. If you'd feel more comfortable with something a little longer then you can use the Malone...

- Carrying 19 Foot Canoe on Yakima Overhaul HD Ladder Rack on 2021 Toyota TacomaIt 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...
view full answer... - 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.
view full answer... - Will The Yakima HandRoll Fit With Yakima LongArm Load Extender? I reached out to Yakima who said you can use the HandRoll Kayak Roof Rack # Y04082-2 with their LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149. This will make loading your kayak much easier as it will roll on the extender.

It will not work with a regular hitch pin. If you want a locking pin, then you will need the # Y07235 for this application. If you want the ability to use the standard hitch pin or standard hitch pin lock, you may want to consider an alternative like the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender for Truck Bed or Roof - 2" Hitches - 350...
view full answer... - Load Extender Options For Carrying KayaksOf your options they all are going to get the job done. If you're wanting something that looks the best I would go with the Yakima LongArm Extender # Y01149. If you're not concerned with the looks go with the Malone Axis # MPG907. It has more ground clearance in it's lowest setting but it's width is only adjustable from 24 inches to 48 inches so it may not be wide enough for your application. The Erickson # EM07605 has a 51 inch width so be sure to measure your kayaks width to see which...

Then get the load extender # Y01149 to hold up the rear of the kayak. IF you do have a roof I suggest getting something like these saddle style carrier # RR581 and drill a hole in your roof and put the T-Slot through the hole and tighten it down.
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...

This way you can have the kayaks sit over your cab so you don't have to have them hang off the back. If you did have them hanging off the back you would need to insert a load extender # Y01149 on the back. This rack will sit 24.5 inches above your bed rails and the crossbars will be great for using a kayak carrier...
