Product Details
BedXTender HD™ Max Bed Extender by AMP Research®. Multiple designs of bed extenders are available whether you prefer a cage with the maximum amount of room, one designed for use with tonneau covers, or one that's custom-designed for carrying motorcycles. Aluminum tubing provides light weight and high strength that won't corrode, and a choice of powder coat finishes prevents chips and scratches. Replacement brackets and latch pegs are available, as well as custom brackets for irregularly-shaped pickup walls.
Installation
AMP Research® - Bed Extender HD for Toyota Tacoma InstallationAs truck beds became shorter to make way for more passenger space in the 1990s, AMP Research created the first BedXTender and has been refining it ever since. Bed extenders give you the benefits of a full-size truck bed without having to own one. Operation of AMP Research BedXtenders remains simple 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. You’ll extend your usable carrying area by two additional feet on top of the tailgate panel. Vertical cross pieces provide structural support for the horizontal bars, and are designed to be both durable and shock-absorbing.
Three horizontal bars span the entire width of the bed extender to prevent lower and smaller items from sliding through the cracks. 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 the Max Black 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. Because the mounting position of the bed extender may interfere with some tonneau covers, AMP Research offers an adaptive Quick Latch Bracket Kit (sold separately) to facilitate the use of both items. 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.
