MaxxHaul 70231 Hitch Mount Pick Up Truck Bed Extender For Ladder, Rack, Canoe, Kayak, Long Pipes and Lumber) , Black , 37 x 19 x 3 inches

I have a fourteen foot long sea kayak that I love to paddle, but it is a bit long for convenient conveyance. I've been using a Rack-n-Roll trailer, which is great, but that truck/trailer combo is long and doesn't work well in some tight little access areas that aren't formal boat ramps. This is a fantastic solution - very easy to set up and use! And, compared to a trailer, a very reasonable price. I'm very happy with it and I'm sure I will be using it often.

The item arrived today in great condition with not so much as a scratch, it was very well packaged and all parts were present.Assembly was easy with the provided instructions. I opted for the vertical orientation so that it would work in conjunction with roof bars on my Tacoma, but it would be a quick 5-minute job to change it to the longer horizontal configuration.It does rattle a bit at the hitch and where the upper "T" attaches to the vertical bar with a clevis pin. The pin makes height adjustment and disassembly easy but I may replace the pin with a bolt to minimize rattling. I also ordered an anti-rattle clip to prevent movement at the hitch.I plan to use this extender to carry a long extension ladder and the occasional long lumber pieces so I am pleased to find an affordable way to make my truck more useful.Edit: Unlike some other reviewers, mine came with all necessary hardware, INCLUDING a hitch pin and cotter pin

This product was great. Well built, Easy to assemble, and works great for hauling long items.

Easy to install and adjust.

Chose this rather than an over the cab design. I'm 73. I realized an over the cab rack was going to be difficult for me to install, and I wasn't sure I could lift and remove lumber, ladders, and such. Very satisfied with this choice. Light, easy to assemble, easy to store.

GREAT QUALITY AND VERSATILITY A+

Goes together easily. Sounds like a trashcan being dragged down the road, but works great! I bolted it up instead of using the quick release pins that it comes with, that put the shut up on it! Stores relatively flat to the wall when not being used. I’ve only used the vertical setup so far. But would definitely recommend it! Very quick to put on and take off. Just pull your ball sleeve out and slide this stand into your receiver hole… done!

This bed extender is a solid solution for transporting long items like kayaks, ladders, or lumber. It’s sturdy, easy to assemble, and fits securely into the hitch. The adjustable height and width make it versatile, especially for kayaks. Great value for the price!
