Load extender lets you easily haul kayaks, construction materials, and other loads that extend past your truck bed or roof. Height can be adjusted from 15-3/4" from the top of the shank to 57". Width adjusts from 28" to 48".Just what I was looking for to improve the kayak hauling experience with the short Ridgeline bed, and less bulky to store than some alternatives. Also my upcoming lumber projects. The assembly was straightforward and the rack seems durable.
It’s well built and easy to assemble. You can adjust the height and width of the T. I have a 14’6” Old Town canoe. I can load and unload it by myself, and carry it in my 2020 Honda Ridgeline with a couple of ratchet straps. I wish I had found this sooner.
Wasn’t expecting much for less than $100, but very solid and works great to transport a kayak in the short bed of a Ridgeline.
Actually we are using the bed extender as a brush sprayer boom support. It fits the receiver on the UTV and extends out under the bed where the sprayer sits, then hoses mount to broadcast sprayer nozzles on the uprights. Cheaper than buying a UTV boom.
The bed extender was easy to assemble and has been very useful caring lumber that's longer than the truck bed. It makes it easy to secure the end of the wood and keep things from moving around.
This metal is thinner than the previous one purchased. I wish I bought the Malone instead because it might have thicker metal. That’s the last thing you want to worry about is your equipment breaking driving down the highway. In the picture you can see the old one is much thicker. I don’t it was a mistake at the factory.
Works great for my canoe with a few additions. I have a shortbed truck and even with the tailgate down and the canoe in diagonally, there is still too much overhang to keep the canoe situation as securely as I’d like. So I took a chance and bought the MaxxTow truck bed extender and have been very pleased.
I like how versatile it is. I can use it with roof rack on another vehicle or with my truck. All in in all it seems solidly built. It went together so easy didn’t need to refer to the instructions but I did anyway just to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
Tossed in the canoe and went to the lake. Spent a few hours and came home after dark. Since my canoe sticks a few feet back of the extender, I had tied a flag on it. Flag helps in the daytime but not much good at night but it does have the nice reflective stickers to help out.
To help out at night (and during the day) I bought a set of magnetic trailer lights and put on it. They make a huge difference for the visibility both day and night. I also went to a home improvement store and bought some pipe insulation and wrapped around the crossbars and vertical bars that the canoe will contact. All in all, including the extender, lights and insulation I have less than $100 in it all. Incredible bang for the buck.
Very happy with the MaxxTow MaxxHaul truck bed extender. Quality and workmanship is very good, everything went together easily right out of the box without any need for me to make adjustments. I have a Honda Ridgeline which has a short bed with storage under the bed. This extender is perfect for my situation because it makes the bed more useful and the hitch breaks down into smaller pieces making it easy to store when not in use. That is one of the main reasons I bought this specific extender. Fits easily into my trunk space so its always handy. My only regret is I waited so long to purchase, I could have used it many times already.
Two kayaks, two bicycles, and a loaded truck going from Arizona to Colorado. The extender worked great with double hitch adapter for bike rack and extender. Still need to ratchet and tie everything down to control play in units.
This extender is just what I needed to haul my 16' paddle jon boat.
I would suggest supplying bolts with flat heads for holding the upright and cross piece together. The bolts supplied will mar lumber or gouge drywall sheets. Thankfully the heads fit between the runners on the bottom of my boat. Otherwise they would eventually wear through the aluminum.
Glad I bought it and would highly recommend it.
Product is exactly as described. Assembly was super easy. My application is construction materials and canoe hauling. I loaded my canoe by myself easily into the bed of my f150; tie-down was easy and the width and height adjustments worked fine.
The bed extender is sturdy & easy to us e.
I’ve been looking for this type bed extender for a while, and decided to order this one from etrailer. After using it twice, I’m very satisfied.
The extender worked great on my Chevy Colorado with a 5' bed. It was simple to assemble and has a rugged & adjustable design. It worked perfect to transport my two kayaks and camping gear. One kayak is 12 feet long and the other is 9.5 feet long. My 12' kayak rested on the cross bar with a 2-3 foot overhang.....perfect. I then strap it down to the cross bars. My 9.5' kayak gets pressed and strapped up against one of the upright bars of the extender, so no way is this 9.5' kayak moving back. This hitch makes loading and unloading the kayaks much easier than a 'over the cab' kayak carriers that mount the kayaks about 7 feet off the ground. This hitch extender puts the kayaks at chest height for me now which is much easier.
Works very well, I use it to transport my 14 foot Hobie Pro Angler 360 in the back of my SUV. Used every two weeks on average.
Quality, fit, finish and packaging were excellent. Shipping rates and service were fantastic. Communication has been very good. I cannot offer any reasonable suggestions for improvement. I definitely recommend this company!

Thanks for a decal - now installed. Photo is of your bed extender with a 2018 Honda Ridgeline and Hobie tandem Eclipse kayak. That is a long kayak and the extender works great.
Was looking for an affordable bed extender to add kayak racks to. It allows me to easily load and unload two 12' kayaks from my short bed Toyota Tacoma. This rack does the job perfectly! etrailer is great to work with.
This product was everything advertised. I rarely order online. Probably the most inpatient person in this world. So when I'm telling you this. It's really how it was. Shipping seemed a little long for me. In reality, it probably was ahead of time. Approximately 10 days to my porch I do believe. Assembly was a breeze. Would recommend this sight to others. I hate hooking up to a trailer all the time. This will allow me to pick up longer lumber and carry bigger ladders with just my truck.
Great way to haul big ladders without breaking the bank. Well built, easy to assemble, and easy to adjust.
Having a 5'6" yruck bed this works great for transporting of my 12' canoe. Very sturdy.
I’m impressed with the design and simplicity of your product. I definitely feel like I got a good deal for the cost of the Maxxhaul. Thank you for making a worthwhile product !
My daughter had to put it together just to show me she could ! LOL !!!
Arrived quickly and was just what i needed to haul a 17 foot canoe in the bed of my truck. The pieces that pin together have a little slop in them but once strapped down it doesn’t affect its performance. It’s pretty stout as well and I believe it’s capacity is advertised correctly.
Love it! Can load low or high. Very versatile! Easy installation and storage. Couldn't be happier!
Bought this to haul our tandem kayak. Works like a champ. Also used for lumber, ladders, timber, pipe and other materials finishing a home build. Who knew? It was a good purchase for a lot of reasons I never even considered.

My opinion is the same, a great purchase for a lot of reasons. Used it last week with the kayak and its perfect. It makes our Tundra more flexible and carries long loads more safely and securely. Get one. YOu wont regret it!
