FAST SERVICE AND NICE ITEM



by:

very beefy support. well worth the mon ey



by:

nice easy to use



by:

Great people to do business with! Loved Jamie great customer service!!!!



by:

It made it easy to transport 16' contractor pack baseboard.



by:

Very heavy, but well-designed.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Well packed, arrived with no damage and all parts included, despite the carrier having damaged the box. Incredibly easy to set up, and a breeze to use. Used it to haul home some 16' 2x8 from the lumber yard. Included flag has a robust hanger on it and the bungee loops were key to keeping the load secured. Wished I had purchased one sooner. Not an everyday item, but very handy when you need it.



by:

Bought two different items and they are both great fit like a glove no problem with either one



by:

I am pleased with this purchase. It is well designed, well made, and quite versatile. I recommend this product.



by:

mostly eliminates the need for a trailer



by:

I originally made a mistake. Thought I didn't receive the entire order. Called and talked to Noah. He was extremely courteous and very understanding. He apologized and promised to ship missing parts immediately. He even gave me his extension. later I realized I was wrong, the order was complete, my error! I called and left Noah an apology. I could not be happier with etrailer and Noah. Great company!!



by:

This thing is the bomb! Just installed on my 2022 Santa Cruz and it adjusted perfectly for the bed and roof heights as well as with the tailgate up. Fast shipping. Heavy construction and it packs up into a simple to store compact unit.

  • Recommended Canoe Carrier For Short Bed Truck
    The longest load extender is the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs # EM07600. This is 52-1/2" long x 48-1/2" wide. For a 16 foot canoe, there really isn't a good solution for such a short bed without going onto the roof. I recommend the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 for your application. If you really don't want anything on your roof, then I recommend the Malone MicroSport Trailer - Galvanized Steel Wheels - 13' Long - 375...

  • Truck Bed Load Extender for a 2-1/2 Receiver
    Currently the only truck bed extenders we carry are going to be for a 2" receiver like the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600. We do have a Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45018 which you can use to have a custom made extender. This 41" or 48" extension will allow for 400lbs of tongue weight at 48" or 500lbs at 41". This hitch box extension fits into a 2-1/2" receiver. Otherwise you could have a Reducer # BX88187 welded to the 2" tube on the extender so you will not have to deal with...

  • Can a Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 Carry 2 Kayaks
    Depends on the width of you kayaks and the width of your truck bed, the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 is 48-1/2 inches in width so if your kayaks are narrower than than next to each other this load extender should work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out. You might also be interested in a pin and clip part # PC3 and ratcheting tie downs like part # EM34415.

  • Is Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 Wide Enough To Carry 48 Inch Wide Plywood
    When the arms of the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender, part # EM07600 are opened, they have a span of 48-1/2 inches. This would accommodate 4 ft wide sheets of plywood you asked about. There are also six tie-down points you can take advantage of when this is installed. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out. This extender does not come with a hitch pin and clip, so I recommend part # PC3 for a standard hitch pin and if you want to make sure it is secured to...

  • Can the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender be Used with a 2006 Dodge Magnum
    Yes, I have recommend load extenders such as # EM07600 for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. Sometimes it is just the right tool for the job! Once installed in the hitch the minimum height is 16 inches. If you measure from the top of the receiver opening up 16 inches on your 2006 Dodge Magnum that will be the approximate height of the extender once installed. I have linked a video review of this extender for you. In order to use this extender your Magnum would have to have a Class III trailer...

  • Will Load Extender Match the Truckbed Height of 2016 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Hitch?
    The lowest setting of the Erikson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 is 18" in height while the lowest setting of the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 is measured at 17" high. That will still bring you at an inch higher than your truck bed. If you're carrying a kayak, you can put down some foam blocks like Malone RackPads # MPG314 to lift the kayak up on your truck bed and you can reuse the blocks when you store your kayak in your garage or on the ground. The blocks are 3-1/2"...

  • Crossbar Width of Erickson Big Bed Load Extender
    The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 has crossbars which are 48-1/2" when in use, and that dimension does not include the wings - or tie-down points - at the end of the crossbars. The 48-1/2" is usable space, so your 4' wide plywood or drywall will have 1/2" of space when you lay them down on the crossbars.

  • How Far will Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 Extend Past Hitch on Toyota Tacoma 5 FT Bed
    The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender, # EM07600, measures 49-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the upright. I have included a picture to illustrate this measurement. To determine exactly how far the extender, # EM07600, will extend past the hitch of your Toyota Tacoma, you will just want to measure out 49-1/2 inches from your hitch pin hole.

  • Load Extender for 2006 Ram 2500 Short Bed and 2×10×16 Boards
    The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 would actually be a great option for your long boards since it is 48-1/2 inches wide overall. That is one of the widest load extenders available. As far as length this or really any of the extenders would be fine. I do recommend adding a hitch immobilizer # BX88224 because these extenders are known to have a fair amount of movement in the hitch (due it part to the length of the extender).

  • Height Measurements of Erickson Beg Bed Load Extender
    The Big Bed load extender, part # EM07600, has three height settings in 1 inch increments. I went out to the warehouse and measured from the center of the hitch pin hole myself and they're about 17-1/8, 18/-1/8, and 19-1/8 inches to the top of the load bar.

  • Can I Install The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender On My 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz
    If you are getting a 2" hitch receiver installed on your 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, you will not need any adapters to install the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs, part # EM07600. I have included a video review link below.

  • Can the Length of the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender Be Adjusted
    The length of the truck bed extenders like the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches part # EM07600 are not adjustable. That said, all you would need to do is move the load away from the cab in order for it to rest on both the bed floor and crossbar. It could then be tied down to keep if from sliding back and forth inside the truck bed.

  • Length of Erickson EM07600 Big Bed Load Extender

If you click the provided link, you can see a product demonstration video featuring the load extender.

  • Recommended Foam Block Kayak Pads for Use In Truck Bed
    Typically foam blocks like the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier # MPG152 are designed to be placed on crossbars, but you could use them flat on the truck bed like you've mentioned and they'd do just fine. These pads are 18" long so they'll provide you with a good deal of protection for the bottom of the boat. You're likely going to want to secure the boat with something like the etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps w/ Buckle Protectors - 1" x 13' - 293 lbs - Qty 4 # E98876-4 to make sure that...

  • Weight Capacity for the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender
    The 400 lb limit would be for bed distributed loads. Basically, if what you are carrying weighs less than 400 lbs the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 that you referenced would work for you. Check out the review video I attached for this product for you to check out also.

    Good question, because tongue weight is an important consideration, and I can tell you that the overall weight is 38 lbs for the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches # EM07600. The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 fits 2" hitches and has a 400 lb capacity which which you'll want to keep in mind as well. The only other thing you will need is a pin and clip or hitch lock to secure the extender in your hitch, and for that you can use the Pin and Clip # C21500 or Anti-Rattle...

  • Will Yakima HullyRollers Fit the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600
    The Yakima HullyRoller will not fit the bars on the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600. The bars are 1 inch square and the HullyRollers will only accept square bars that are 7/8 by 1-1/4 inches. In order to get the HullyRollers to fit you would need to use universal MightyMounts # Y03590. I have linked our returns policy for you.

  • Can the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender Be Used As a Roof Extender
    The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender part # EM07600 is a bed extender only. That said, we have plenty of options which are both a bed extender and roof extender like the Erickson Big Bed Junior part # EM07605 or the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender part # MPG907.

  • Truck Bed Extender With 400 lb Capacity
    The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs # EM07600 is a fairly strong accessory. It is not recommended to add a wheel to this product and it would void the manufacturer warranty. Most other products rated for this application are rated at 350 lb load capacity so the Erickson extender is a little beefier. When in use it measures 52-1/2" long x 48-1/2" wide. I recommend using ratchet straps like the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Releases - 1"...

  • Can A Hitch Extender Be Used With A Truck Bed Load Extender
    Hi Carlos, A hitch extender could be used with the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches # EM07600, it's just not recommended because you'd be cutting the capacity in half and putting a lot of leverage on the hitch. I recommend throwing in some hitch pin locks # e98880 to help prevent anyone from walking off with your equipment while you're out kayaking.

Please take a look at the linked video. This shows the various design features, which include adjustable height and folding capability, and also illustrates the operation of the extender.

  • Availability of Light Kit for Erickson EM07600 Big Bed Load Extender
    Although there isn't a purpose-built option for what you want to do, there are options from a magnetic mount light kit to options that would require some modification of the load extender. For the easiest option that wouldn't involve any alteration or fabrication, I'd recommend a magnetic mount lamp set up like the # RM-2120 offered by Roadmaster. If you'd rather avoid a magnetic option, something like the # RM-2120 could be a good choice. The lamps mounting flaps could sit atop the arms...
