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.

Definitely a great value for the price but a lot of assembly required and the installation instructions not as clear as they could of been. But again, a great price.

It is no lie that it takes about an hour to install. I thought I could do it in about 30 minutes, but no way. Definately an hour for first time installation. I would disagree that this is an "easy" assembly level; more like "intermediate". If you are not mechanically inclinded, get a friend to help you and it should be OK. I needed something to help with hauling lumber and longer than average building materials. After reading other reviews, decided this would do the job. It is indeed a very high quality gate and highly recommend this brand. The "clips" that are attached to the tailgate and hold the extender down are a bit of a joke. I removed the cheap plastic attachment and looped the strap around the bar with some other fasteners that can be removed if desired. I also fabricated some wooden pieces that I can attach to cover the open slots and will prevent smaller items from falling out the back when driving. I especially like the feature that allows the extender to roll over into the back of the bed. Instead of filling up my cab with hardware, paint buckets, etc, I can put them in the back with no fear they will roll around. Easy to remove and install when needed. Overall a very good product.

Fairly easy to assemble, just follow the instructions or you'll be dis-assembling and reassembling if you jump ahead. Looks great! Works great!

Excellent -- well-constructed with lightweight aluminum tubes - fits prefect - took me a little longer than it was suggested in the install guide but then I'm not an auto mechanic - I learned a lot about my truck. Super easy to take out and store if you need more room in the bed - had a little conflict with the back tonno-cover latches and bed-x-tender but with a little practice not a problem at all -- well worth the investment.

I really love this bed extender. I have used one for several years on my other truck and wanted to buy one for my new truck. I recommend it.

Installation was rough. The directions are awful but when you finally get it together it's a very nice setup. I really like it but I hope I never have to put another one together.

I bought this bed x-tender because my crew cab truck has a 5'8" bed. With this x-tender I get an additional two feet. I can also keep things within reach inside the bed when the tail gate is up. This is a great product and well worth the money. AutoAnything was also very prompt to ship it. Thanks AutoAnything!!!
