Darby Extend-A-Truck Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2011 Ford F-150

Today in our 2011, Ford F-150 we are doing a test fit of the Darby Extend-A-Truck hitch mounted load extender. That part number is DTA944. Now we already have it here in our first position. We will show you our second position and take a few measurements and then also explain more as to what you can put on our extender. Now, here in this position it's going to be great if you plan on carrying anything on the cab of your truck or maybe you have crossbars and the load is a little longer. So say you have PVC pipe or lumber or even a large kayak or boat; you could stick that on the top. We have these nice tie downs here on either side to secure with any straps that you may have. Now, on our T-point here we actually have different spots where you can mount our Extend-A-Truck so if you do have those crossbars and they're a little higher than your cab you can always lift it up or lower it wherever you need to. Now, in this position we will take a few measurements. Overall, to our truck we are adding about 8 inches there. Our closest point is going to be about 5 3/4 inches between the two. And then our ground clearance down here.we're going to have about 17 inches. Now to put this into our second position; we'll first need to remove this T-piece here by removing the pin and clip. You can lift that off and set it off to the side. Then we will take our bottom piece and remove this pin and clip as well and switch that around. So we've got that switched into place. We'll just line up our pin holes. Reinsert one of our pins here. Now whenever you do purchase your load extender, it does come with both of your pins and clips. One for your hitch and one for your other piece. And then if we lower our tailgate here, we will be able to line up our T-piece with that. It looks like we're going to be on the last spot here. We'll replace our clip. And we're ready to go. So here we can load up anything that we need on our truck bed that again is longer, again like your PVC pipe or lumber. You can use those tie-downs once again. Now if we take a few measurements to figure out the distance between the tailgate and our Extend-A-Truck; we are going to have about 28 1/4 inches there. Adding to our actual truck; we are adding about 49 1/2 inches. So there is some regulation with Department of Transportation where you may have to put a red or orange flag on the back.
