My Ridgeline is only 7.5' deep with the tailgate down which make it dicey to load more than 8' goods. The Malone extender makes carrying longer items a breeze. I have carried many 12' lumber loads with confidence. It assembles and breaks down rapidly with no tools necessary. And all of the pieces easily fit into the in-bed trunk. Great product!
I bought this to haul long boards in my Nissan Armada. I have used it numerous times in the first year. Definitely an excellent purchase!
This would be a five star rating, but I had to run an M8 X 1.25 tap through one of the anti-rattle holes to get the knob to attach. The rack is top notch, and the anti-rattle features are not required but certainly are a plus. I installed this on a 2022 Toyota Tacoma after buying another brand that would not go high enough to be level with the bed. Buy the Malone Safety Flags while you have free shipping from etrailer.
Great product. Assembled right out of the box and loaded one heavy 17' canoe, two 18' kayaks, and lumber to build the storage rack. Carried them about 400 miles with no problem at all---no swaying, no metal fatigue, no stress (except for tailgating 18 wheelers). Highly recommend this carrier.
Very simplistic design and has versatility. I did not get to try yet, but I have no worries about it.
Depending on your distance of travel, you may want to use bolts in place of the quick pins.
The Malone truck bed extender is "just what the doctor ordered." I am very pleased with the product. As advertised, I can assemble it in minutes. The price is right. And the functionality of my Nissan Frontier bed has been greatly improved.
This extender works great for a kayak and also for hauling lumber.
Use it for both lumber and steel (14'-16') in F150 with 6.5 foot bed. Quick set up and breakdown. Storage is a little awkward due to size but no too bad.
I love this product do to its easy operation and the multi ways you can adjust it.
Its sturdy enough to handle almost anything.
Great tool to have if loading long items in your truck
Good setup but needs padding on cross bar and would be nice if you could collapse the secondary support bar when it is in the vertical position to allow access to your tailgate. Had some sort of material in the primary tube that still has not come out. Easy to assemble.
This guy is awesome... Just opened my own garage door service biz and this will allow me to easily move door panels. I'll be running plywood from the tailgate past the tee for decking so panels don't flex during transit. Awesome affordable option for me... better than a $3500 trailer at this point.
Purchased to enable transport of 30 ft ladder.
Very pleased with this option. In addition, should be useful in moving sheets of plywood in my Tacoma.
A must have tool!
I have owned this extender for one year +. I use it to carry two 12.5 ft. Kayaks. The extender does its job, safely and securely carries the yaks all over the Midwest. The only modification I made was to the "goalpost uprights" I cut a swimming noodle to length, cut a slit to allow the noodle to fit over the uprights. The uprights are a hard point of contact, and needed something to protect the kayak. Quality product.
etrailer processed and shipped the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender on the same day ordered and it arrived 3 days later. Assembly was a breeze and it appears to be just what we needed for carrying long loads in our Tacoma bed or going vertical with the extender and using it for loads across the roof or over the tailgate. We look forward to putting it to use with 10 ft kayaks, a 17 ft canoe and all sorts of lumber and other long items. It is heavy duty, well built and flexible in how to orient the extender for a given load. The parts are a bit loose fitting so expect a bit of rattling, but that may better than tight fitting pieces that could be difficult to assemble. It comes with a brace that fits over the top of your hitch and over the 2x2 tube of the extender to firmly stabilize it in place at the hitch. My bet is the load on the extender will tighten the other components so rattle may only be noticeable when in the hitch without any load on it. So far, it appears to be just what we needed in terms of flexibility of use (vertical and horizontal) and in the load it will handle (375 lbs).
Outstanding truck extender. Easily assembled by a 63-year-old petit lady. Added an accessory roller to easily slide a ten-foot plus kayak. Easy to disassemble into two separate parts for easy storage. Even though extender includes traffic safety reflector tape, it does NOT include a traffic safety flag. Can’t wait to use it to transport my fishing kayak this summer.
Great product at a good price. Very solidly built and easy to use with a 2" inch hitch receiver. In my case, I need an extension when it's the vertical position, but that's only a few bucks more. I've used it in both horizontal and vertical configurations to haul lumber, fencing and plywood using my mid-sized SUV. It's not the same as having a pick-up truck, but for the handful of times I need to carry stuff like that, it's a lot less expensive and takes up next to no space when stored.
Limited use so far, but it seems well thought-out. Much quieter than I expected.
Works great in my 2013 F-150 5.5ft bed. I like how the bottom bar is angled upward, this prevents it from scraping on my steep driveway.
I ordered some extra DOT red/white reflective tape from Amazon to add to what was already there.
The anti-wobble clamp bracket is a big plus, not every bed extender comes with one of these and those that don't have it rattle back and forth everytime you go over a little bump.
My main use is lumber and my kayak.
Value driven purchase -- IMO eTrailer is "the" online retailer -- the Malone extender is EZ to assemble, and works as advertised -- shipment via UPS with no issues -- three days from online order to doorstep-- as we say down south, "ya can't beat it with a stick" -- great email follow up from real person & not a third party marketing company -- eTailer is my "go to" for truck accessories -- cheers //
I love the Malone truck bed and roof load extender! As a cancer patient, I have lost a lot of strength recently, and loading my heavy kayak alone was too much. With this, I can either load it inside my Toyota Highlander or turn the extender to load it on the roof rack. Now I am able to get out without having to bother people for help.
This is a very nice bed extender. It’s strong,easy to assemble and meets safety requirements.I love mine and use it everyday at work.

It’s a great product and I’m very pleased with it.
Easily extends the bed of my truck to safely transport a 14’ kayak. Easy to setup and use.
Sturdy enough with the clamp on. Fit my Honda Ridgeline perfectly.
Works like it should. I needed to make my Porsche Macan into a truck. Every June I remove vegetation for fire prevention to a debris bin to a local park. I made the bed out of 1x6 and it doubles as a work bench. It only takes about 10 minutes to transform the Macan.
Do you have a question about this Truck Bed Extender?
