Are Truck Bed Extenders Worth It? 

A thread https://bengulish.wordpress.com/2020/10/14/are-truck-bed-extenders-worth-it/

I have moved goods on my truck for a few years now. One notorious problem I have faced is increasing the size of the trunk bed. My struggle to fit all goods, especially wood, in the pick up has met hiccups.

Very recently, my problem was sorted by a truck bed extender. That was like a kind of a dream. Now I didn’t have to worry about the wood spilling and smashing windscreens of vehicles behind me.

What is a truck bed extender? 

But wait a minute, what exactly is a truck bed extender? A bed extender is a useful device that allows me to carry oversize equipment like boats. The Device extends the pickup truck bed by up to 3 feet.

I have also noticed that the truck bed extender fits all types of trucks I have used. It is cost-effective as I no longer need to hire lorries to carry lengthy kinds of goods.

The most significant advantage is that it has more than one use as I can use it as secondary storage with just a few tweaks.

How does the magic happen? To understand how the truck bed extender lets us look at the most typical bed extenders' components. A bed extender consists of two side walls matching the pickup walls, a connecting wall, and two mounts.

The side walls are connected to each other using the sidewall. The tailgate acts a the floor to the new extended compartment.

Installation of a truck bed extender is a simple process. The most unimportant thing I needed is to carefully go through the installation manual and check diagrams within it. I always have a friend around to help with the heavy lifting.

You shouldn’t be afraid if you are alone because most extenders are made of rigid plastic. All you must do is connect them to mounts to the pickup's sides and screw relevant parts for a good grip. 

Who makes the best truck bed extender?

So many bed extenders have flooded the market since 1996. But what is the best choice for truck bed extenders

Darby Industries truck extenders

If you love the best of them, then why not a Darby truck extender. This truck extender has no equals in the market. After using the Device made by this reputable company, you will be begging them to take you money and supply their bed extenders to your entire fleet of pickups.

This bed extender is not only exceptional but also functional. The exceptionality comes from the fact that it allows you to secure goods above and below the vehicle. It is durable and has served me for a long time without any need for servicing.

I found it incredibly easy for use with farm produce. The Device has an adjustable rooftop height, which gives it its versatility. It has four-inch support to bolster the cargo in place.

The good news is this extender will fit a truck. Anyone with a pickup is covered as they don’t have to look for an extender for each truck. I can see that your truck is covered already.

Darby understands the dangers of elongating a truck on the road; therefore, they supply a red flag for use on the road. The red flag promotes and ensures road safety as it is also securely fitted to the vehicle.

The last perk I found is the easy installation and removal. The installation process can take a maximum of fifteen minutes. When not in use, the truck extender fits snuggly in the trunk, leaving space for other goods. 

Ecotric Pickup truck bed extender.

Here is another serious contender for the best pickup bed extender. This is the best choice for a strong spacious. It was chosen for its stable build and generous weight and space.

I found this suitable for moving furniture and other bulky but delicate goods. It has a weight ability of 750lbs. The steady design allows it to take on heavier and longer goods.

These items also offer height advantage, and the weight and length advantage it has been proven to provide. The projectors that come pre packed with its help in securing elevated objects.

The extender is versatile thanks to a hitch extender that will fit all trucks with a two square hitch receiver. It also has an adjustable width that gives it room to expand to almost double its size. This is room for more goods when in need of more space.

In the final analysis, this is the best choice for moving heavy objects around. I never thought I would get a truck bed extender with an adjustable extender. 

Lund Truck Bed Extender

I began using a truck extender due to the need to transport timber around to customers. This was the first extender I ever used. I vouch that I haven't experienced any problems using this truck bed extender for hauling wood.

The extender can carry heavy loads such as building and construction materials. Lengthy material such as planks are moved with ease. What long construction material do you have in mind?

This extender has you sorted in all aspects but more so too long goods. It keeps cargo off the ground with seven-inch clearance from the ground. Cargo being secure steadily above the ground avoids damages, especially with large speed bumps.

Lund Truck bed extender supports loads of up to 750 pounds, so I don't have to worry about the weight of the goods I ferry. It has foldable support that holds weight in.

It is so versatile that my friends with kayaks and canoes swear by it in transporting the vessels to sea and back. 

The Kayak bed extender that comes with it is DOT approved. It has broad wings that can be adjusted to fit well in the truck without making noise.

AMP Research Max Bed Extender 

The amp is a classic U-shaped extender. The u-shape supplies more space than rectangular extenders. When installing, this extender makes sure the tailgate is opened and flipped out so the bed extender can fit in firmly.

Unlike other types of extender in its class, The AMP uses its simplistic design to its advantage. How does it carry out this feat?

It uses its U-shape design to fit inside the trunk rather than supply extra space outside the trunk. The trunk extender is light and flexible, allowing users to lift it and flip it in ways they like.

I used to turn it either way, with the tailgate closed. That helped keep all the items securely in the trunk. A revolutionary feature is its clam-shell design.

The design clam-shell design supplies extra durability. It is made of aluminum alloy tubes, which are light and robust. This makes it torque resistant. 

This kind of trunk bed extender is suitable because of its attractive design. It is compatible with all sorts of pickups too.

Dodge Ram Tailgate Bed extender by Mopar 

Order is one thing that keeps us all sane. Freaks of order like me find it handy working with Dodge Ram. The Device gives space for groceries and household items.

It is aluminum, which makes it strong and lightweight. The quality makes it easy to install and detach. Since the material is rust-resistant, it makes it safe to carry with groceries.

The trunk bed extender easily attaches to the interior edges of the truck trunk. I position it in or out, depending on the load. The feature works great for storage.

I found it nicely fitting in the trunk after use. There is no more stress in attaching and detaching. That explains why this is my favorite extender for lightweight goods. 

Anyone who love the pickup will definitely love using the different array of truck bed extenders.
