While trucks are extremely versatile vehicles, capable of towing or carrying virtually any load, there are times when additional space is required. A truck bed extender is ideal for transporting large or awkward items like kayaks, timber, or scaffolding. It's critical to choose professional-grade models, as a do-it-yourself truck bed extender could be dangerous and may be illegal.
These convenient accessories are racks or cage-like devices that expand the loading area of your truck bed and provide stability for oversized cargo. Different tailgate extenders vary in size and load capacity, so before purchasing, verify that your model is compatible with your vehicle. Many of these bed extenders include mounting hardware for attaching the extender to your roof.
The most common application for pickup truck bed extenders is to regularly transport unwieldy or oversized items. A bed extender, on the other hand, can be useful for everyday tasks such as grocery shopping and transporting tools and equipment to the farm or construction site, making it a versatile addition to your truck.
Whether you require a truck bed extender daily or occasionally, the added security provided by a truck bed extender reduces the risk of damage during transportation regardless of what you are hauling, making it a worthwhile investment for any vehicle driver.
Truck bed extenders provide secure storage for long cargo that will not fit in the bed of a standard pickup truck. Truck bed extenders are classified into three basic categories. Two of the most frequently used extenders operate with the tailgate closed.
The most common type of extender functions similarly to a cage or fence, preventing cargo from spilling over the tailgate lip or sides. It extends the usable bed length by a couple of feet and relies on both the bed and tailgate to support the additional weight.
The second type of hitch extender resembles goalposts on a football field. This design accommodates relatively flat, wide objects such as surfboards and kayaks by adding approximately four feet to the bed length. The extender is connected to a pole attached to the trailer hitch, which bears most of the weight.
The third type, a rack that attaches to all four corners of the bed, is the most common. It makes use of the available space above the truck bed. For instance, if the bed is stuffed with camping supplies, kayaks, and other outdoor gear can be transported above. You'll need to assess your requirements, determine which racks are compatible with your truck, and decide whether corrosion resistance is a priority.
Mounting holes are required for the majority of truck bed extenders.
Vivid Racing offers several different styles of truck bed extenders, each one designed to address a specific hauling issue. We offer bed mount extenders if your cargo is slightly longer than the bed, such as dirt bikes or an ATV, and it will not fit with the tailgate up. These extenders are ideal for increasing enclosed space in full-size trucks with short beds or compact pickups. However, if you're hauling long items such as building materials, ladders, or the like, we offer hitch mount extenders to safely and properly support the load. Vivid Racing makes sure that all of its products are made to the highest standards of quality, strength, and safety.
