  • Great Solution for Short Bed Trucks
Size: 37 x 19 x 3 inches Style: Bed Extender
I’ve been very happy with the MaxxHaul 70231 Hitch Mount Truck Bed Extender. It has two configurations, although so far I’ve only used the shorter setup. I drive a Tacoma with a 5-foot bed, and it works perfectly for hauling my extension ladder and half bundles of EMT. The extender is solid and doesn’t feel cheaply made at all. It assembled easily and has worked exactly as expected. I also purchased the MaxxHaul 70050 Trailer Hitch Lock based on another reviewer’s recommendation. Some reviews mention that the extender can feel a little loose. That’s technically true, but this isn’t like a rigid trailer hitch. Because the extender has a couple of sections, a little play actually makes sense. If it were completely rigid it could potentially put more stress on the components. Overall the quality has been very good and it’s been a great solution for hauling longer materials with a short bed truck. If you have a Tacoma or any short-bed pickup and occasionally need to carry ladders, conduit, lumber, or similar materials, this works really well. Very happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • Great for our canoe. Remember you will need ratchet straps as well.
Size: 37 x 19 x 3 inches Style: Bed Extender
Works as advertised. Seemed a bit loose, but straps made the canoe solid. Can be used to ladders as well. Good product, better than expected.

  • Great buy for price. Gets the job done.
Size: 37 x 19 x 3 inches Style: Bed Extender
For price, was very happy with this item. Works very well for one or two kayaks on the back of the truck. Pretty lightweight and is sturdy enough. Very easy to set up and fits well with my dodge ram 1500. Only thing is the top two corners always dig into the side of the kayaks and worry me that they will puncture the sides so I’ve had to make some at home adjustments. But aside of this it’s a good product and has been used pretty frequently. ... show more

  • Great for hauling longer loads
Size: 53.2 x 17.2 x 2.5 inches Style: Bed Extender
Works great for my 12’ kayak. It was easy to put together. Seems very sturdy. Has a slight bit of movement but that’s because of where it mounts into the receiver hitch but isn’t an issue. It also comes with a big safety flag to put on the end of your load.

  • Exactly what you need.
Size: 53.2 x 17.2 x 2.5 inches Style: Bed Extender
I needed a way to transport some 12' custom colored metal roofing I had ordered, but the shipping was more than the actual product. Enter this bed extender. Worked perfectly. Fit right into my hitch receiver. Was super easy to put together and install, and came with all the hardware needed. It's well made and is solid once everything is tightened up. Have used it several times since purchase for lumber and hauling my kid's kayaks. ... show more

  • Came in handy!
Size: 53.2 x 17.2 x 2.5 inches Style: Bed Extender
Needed a way to get 14’ casing trim and this handy little hitch extender worked perfectly. Can’t beat it for the price. Useful tip: supplied hitch pin was too large in diameter to fit through my receiver hitch hole but lucky I had a leftover pin laying around that worked. So just be aware that the supplied pin may not fit all receiver hitches And yes, it wobbles in the receiver when you’re using it in the vertical position such as my picture shows on my SUV. It’s not a foolproof perfect design but what do you expect for $50/60 ? Breakdown is a breeze to quickly remove from your vehicle and place it back inside when you’re done with it I’m sure the thing will serve me well for years to come and come in handy transporting long cargo. Money well spent in my opinion. ... show more

  • Perfect for Kayaks
Size: 37 x 19 x 3 inches Style: Bed Extender
We've got two single kayaks and a big tandem. I've always hauled the singles either on top of the Grand Cherokee in J-Cradles (which requires a ladder) or on a small trailer I upfitted for kayaks. The tandem always had to be hauled in the trailer. Both of those methods worked, but each way has its drawbacks. I bought this hoping for a quicker, easier way to load and unload and man, it really does the job perfectly. We used it for the first time last weekend. I took us literally seconds to load and unload our 14.5' tandem. Once unloaded, I pulled the extender and threw it in the back of the Jeep so it wouldn't get stolen. I put a strap around the side bars during transport and it rode like a champ. Obviously, I couldn't close the hatch, so I had to make sure there was nothing lightweight laying around in the back, but this is a game changer for quick paddling trips. If there's a threat of rain, I can put a pool noodle across the top of the kayak and pull the hatch down and bungie it to keep water out of the Jeep. I measured and I could get all three kayaks in the back using this thing. Wish I would've thought of this years ago. This also comes with a heavy duty bright orange hang-flag to clip onto whatever you're hauling. Nice touch. ... show more
