Transporting lengthy items like kayaks, lumber, or ladders is hassle-free with the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender. Its adjustable height feature offers three settings (17-1/8, 18-1/8, and 19-1/8 inches), allowing you to match your truck or SUV bed height perfectly. This flexibility ensures that your load sits securely, reducing the risk of damage during transit.
The crossbars of the load extender are 48-1/2 inches wide, providing ample support for wide materials like plywood or drywall sheets. This means your long or bulky items are well-supported during transport, preventing any unwanted movement or tilting as you drive. With 1/2" of extra space, even standard 4-foot materials fit perfectly.
The Extender’s folding design makes it incredibly easy to store when not in use. Once your hauling tasks are completed, simply fold it down to a compact size that occupies minimal space in your garage. This folding feature makes it ideal even for those who are tight on storage space.
Keep your cargo safe with three integrated tie-down points on the Extender. These points make securing your load a breeze, whether it’s a kayak for a weekend adventure or construction materials you need to transport. Your load remains anchored, giving you peace of mind on the road.
Constructed from black powder-coated steel, the Extender is both durable and rust-resistant. It stands up to harsh conditions and frequent use, ensuring a long lifespan. With a weight capacity of 400 lbs, it meets the demands of hefty loads without compromising integrity.
Assembling the load extender is straightforward with the included hardware. It also features a pin and clip for securing the arm, making the setup process quick and efficient. You’ll spend less time prepping and more time getting your transport tasks done.

FAST SERVICE AND NICE ITEM
very beefy support. well worth the mon ey
nice easy to use
Very heavy, but well-designed.
This carrier is robust and I anticipate that it will work will on my 2019 tacoma pickup. It would be great if instructions came with the conversion kit to allow it to be a roof top level carrier. After reviewing the pictures on etrailer web site it was an easy job to assembly the unit.
It made it easy to transport 16' contractor pack baseboard.
I am pleased with this purchase. It is well designed, well made, and quite versatile. I recommend this product.
For front of vehicle kayak support, receiver extension was out too far. Drilled another set of holes closer to 90 degree piece, and was able to slide the extender closer to the front bumper. Using ratchet straps, was able to rigidly support overhanging kayak.
Looks well made (sorry it was not made in the USA though). Packaging was poor. The Extender box is not very big but was placed in a very large exterior box with little packing. Extender box seems to have been previously opened and the hardware bags were open too.
Product arrived double boxed and undamaged. The conversion to roof support was in separate box minus the instructions. Notified etrailer about lack of instructions and they immediately emailed them to me. Thought about leaving it in the "trunk" of the Ridgeline but it is heavier and bigger than anticipated. Will need a couple of wrenches to put it together or switch between versions. Seems like a well made product. The support arms move smoothly. Will probably get an extra lock nut since they have a tendency to get lost at the most inopportune time.
Used it just once so far, works just fi ne
Bought two different items and they are both great fit like a glove no problem with either one
Great people to do business with! Loved Jamie great customer service!!!!
mostly eliminates the need for a trailer
