Installation
AMP Research® - BedXTender HD™ Bed Extender Installation Video
AMP Research® - Bed Extender HD for Toyota Tacoma InstallationAMP Research invented the BedXTender in the late 1990s, and has since perfected it to the current form you see here today. Keep it inside your bed with the tailgate up to create a two-foot fenced in area when heavier cargo needs to be separated from smaller items that can be damaged. When it's time to carry longer items that won't fit inside the bed, simply lower the tailgate and flip the BedXTender over to extend your usable carrying area by two additional feet. Vertical cross pieces provide structural support for the horizontal bars, and are designed to be both durable and shock-absorbing.
AMP Research offers three different bed extender designs. The Max Bed Extender is U-shaped to provide the largest amount of corralled space, the Sport Extender provides extra clearance needed for tonneau cover rails, and the Moto Extender cage taper is designed specifically with motorcycle hauling in mind. Replacement "Quick Latch" mounting brackets and latch pegs for hold-down straps are available, and custom L-shaped secondary brackets are available to offset pickup bed walls with irregular indentations or pockets.
All bed extenders feature three horizontal aluminum bars which span the entire width to effectively prevent smaller, lower-height items from sliding through in between. Whether you've got grocery bags, electronic equipment, mulch bags, or large items such as motorcycles or ATVs, you'll truly maximize your truck's carrying ability with any AMP Research Bed Extender. Installation is easy - after drilling a series of three template-guided holes on both sides of your bed, install the bracket pieces that hold your bed extender cage. Aircraft-grade aluminum ensures a minimum of weight is added to your vehicle, and a choice of durable powder coat finishes provides a surface that's extremely resistant to chips, scratches, and the elements. AMP Research builds all components in the United States and backs them with a 3-year / 36,000 mile warranty against failure due to manufacturing defects.
