Description

Expand your carrying capacity by a full 2 feet! The AMP Research Bed X-Tender runs the length of your folded-down tailgate, acting as a versatile fence to contain large loads. Made from 6000 series aircraft aluminum, the truck bed extender is tough enough to handle the heaviest loads, and lightweight for easy folding out or in.

Fold the truck bed extender back inside the bed, and your bed extender now acts as a cargo container. You get a 2-foot fenced-in space behind the tailgate for holding anything from a gas can to groceries. Perfect for truck beds with a tonneau cover, the truck bed extender keeps your gear from sliding or rolling to unreachable areas.

Installation is straightforward and easy for the do-it-yourselfer. You get all the hardware you'll need for mounting the bed extender with some minor drilling. Your AMP Research Bed X-Tender is powder-coated in your choice of silver or black, and covered by a 3-year warranty.

A "must have" for truck beds

"The bed E-Tender is everything Amp Research promised. The bent tubes are packaged in two sets of three and are arranged in the correct orienation for the install. Kudos for that foresight. Now my team's baseball equipment stays near the tailgate where I can access it easily. Do not use the X-Tender with an Access tonneau cover as the rails for the cover interfere with the flip action of the X-Tender. I recommend a tonneau that sets on top of the bedsides. Jon."

Installation of AMP research Bed Extender

"The only difficulty I had with the installation was the fitting of the different pipes. One pipe's outer diameter was larger than the inner diameter of the curved pipe I was fitting it to. I was forced to "Hone" out the inner diameter of the two "female" ends to remove burrs and sand down the male ends, then use waterproof grease as a lubricant to get the pieces together. Other than that, it was easy to install and looks great."

"You can't beat the versatility this x-tender offers. It does a great job creating more usable bed space while also securing items very well. I found the assembly instructions to be a little vague, but I figured it out. It took me about two hours for complete assembly. I would definitely recommend this item for any truck owner."

"Great Addition to 04F150 Looks great was very easy to install A first grader could have done it. Its easy to take out and put back in when needed. It should of had allen screws instead of the 20 trox screws. Other than that it was a great buy, Iwould recomend it."

"The instructions were not clear concerning my 2006 Tundra. They seem to indicate that a bracket was needed which was included but it did not work with my truck. I was also disappointed that with the x-tender open the space was only 71/2 feet, still not long enough for a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. Flipped in, the x-tender serves well as a bracket to keep items from sliding."

"I ended up putting the template for attaching the unit to the wall too close to the tailgate. I'll have to re-drill another hole. Your template may be too narrrow for a truck with a bed. The shipping box was badly damaged and the rails scratched but I installed anyway. I've had problems with FedEx Ground in the past. I wish you shipped with another company."

"It's a well built quality piece in my opinion. It's got more pro's than con's. Pro's: ------ Relatively easy to assemble. Fully adjustable to any width bed so no worries as to what the width of your truck bed is. Quick release knobs make removing/re-installing the extender a quick and easy task. Extremely light metal and construction makes it easy to lift out of your bed and to re-install. Expands to any size truck bed and is easily adjustable to the width of your bed, no pre-sizing and measuring, it can all be done "on the fly". If installed properly can easily "flip" back into the bed of your truck. Is lower than the height of the bed rails so it can easily fit under any tonneau cover. Con's: ------ Over priced for "... what it is...". Use of square hole screws make assembly a bit of a pain if you do not have the "correct" tools. Minor drilling of guide holes for the six screws to attach the quick release attachment clamps. The directions are not the best, but are OK if you just "think" about what you're doing. The aluminum structure most likely will not withstand any heavy load. The attachment clamps do not lock firmly onto the extender clips, making it a weak "link" in the application. I would recommend this product to anyone actually. I have no complaints as it suits my needs."

"Very happy with this bed extender, easy to install and use. Works perfectly to corral gear or four wheeler in a short box. Also is great for keeping groceries or whatever from rolling all over your bed when the gate is up."
