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.

"Easy to assemble, as long as you have a Torx screwdriver. The end result shows an excellent and custom fit and finish. Just about one hour to assemble, once you have identified all the parts - labels on the wedges would help a bit. It also helps to copy the template and tape one on each side before drilling. Could not be happier, except for the price. An excellent addition, but no bargain."

"Fit my GMC Canyon perfectly. Now groceries, etc. don't go flying all around inside the bed...that is really what I bought it for. I have no reason to use the "extender" function yet, but it is nice to know it has that capability. One hint...take your time to set up the templates and precisely mark and drill the screw holes. Accuracy with the bracket installation will pay off in excellent alignment. I made 2 copies of the templates and used those, one on each side. That allows the original template to remain with the instruction sheet, for future use if needed."

"Its a good product! Once you figure out how it goes,its a pretty easy installation. If you have a new body GMC Sierra truck than all you do is pull the tail lights out and use the template they give you drill 2 holes then assemble everything. Its a great product so far! And its Made in the USA!"

"I got the bed extender ordered and received it literally like a day or two later. It was real nice quality and packed well. It probably took about and hour to and hour and a half to install once you get it all set up and adjusted just right. Went riding my dirtbike this weekend and flipped it down threw all my gear in and worked great couldnt be happier."

"Excellent quality. Installation of the mounting brackets was a little confusing due to two templates in the installation sheet and not knowing which to use. I ended up measuring, drilling and leveling the Bed X-Tender on the truck to get the right dimension. For those with Dakota's it was the 8.00" template. Other than that a seamless install."

"I was intimidated when saw all the parts and the drilling required. But to my surprise the installation was very easy. It really looks good on my truck and recommed the product to anyone who needs a bed extender. Believe me, If I was able to install it anyone can."

Amp extender

"The amp bed extender was fairly easy to install, required minor modification to fit properly with a bed liner. Overall it is built pretty well, but I can't for the life of me figure out why it would be worth so much $$ for what it is - just a few aluminum tubes and plastic spacers. I know this is a limitation of my truck, but unfortunately I measure 7'6" now inside the bed, just a little short of the magic 8' needed to haul the average size lumber. Would be a great value at half the price, but other than that its a plus."
