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.

"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."

"I'm impressed with the quality, fit, and finish and AutoAnything's delivery was quick as usual. However, AMP Research really needs to get someone new to write their instructions. Great product but you need to be handy to figure out the assembly."

"Installed easily once the parts were identified.A numbered parts list or diagram would have been helpful. It seems to function well for what I use it for--light personal use."

"Not only is it well made, but it is a 2-in-1 item. It extends your bed for large purchases to avoid sliding out and it flips into the bed to coral smaller purchases sliding around in the bed. It was the best father's day present!"

cool bed extender

Posted on 05/08/2007 by Daniel J F. - 2007 Ford F150 (Port Washington,NY)

"took awhile to put together, but it was well worth it as it looks beautiful and all came together with no problems at all. I had to drill holes in my bed liner to mount the side brackets, but that also came out terrific. Strongly recommend the product. It works and looks great. I also bought some double sided velcro to hold the straps to the extender when not in use, so it did not make noise. Very happy with the product"

A little tricky..

Posted on 03/24/2007 by Michael G. (South Euclid,OH)

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

"IT took me about 2 hours to put this together and get it installed. The pictures in the instructions are slightly confusing, and my bed liner gave me some hassle. Once I got the holes in the bed liner the trickiest part was the brackets but after some trial and error I got it in and it looks great. It goes in and comes out easy and I am really looking forward to using it. I would reccomedn it but make sure you have some time and you have a size 20 torx and 6mm hex."
