Love this extender: easy to install, made with heavy duty steel, stow away and bed height adjustment capabilities to work with any size truck bed, excellent for my kayak and longer building materials. Recommend this to make extended truck bed hauling much easier and safer.

Put it in by myself and I can carry it without difficulty. It is sturdy and works great I put a kayak on it in my truck.

The bad:The instructions were more how to use once assembled and warnings than how to assemble. The video on Amazon made it really easy to assemble. As I worked on it, I realized that it came with what I am guessing is a manufacturer's defect because it is so hard and sturdy that I can't imagine it would have been damaged this way during transport. The brackets that are intended to secure the frame when folded to be able to lift and move were spread apart at the top more than they should be. They are so far apart that the pin that works to keep it open doesn't reach to lock it closed. I guess if one was to be damaged, this is better. Unfortunately, if I were to replace the part, it would be the largest part. We went scavenger hunting in the garage for how to secure it. We used a washing machine transport screw (that I don't know why I saved when I got my washing machine delivered) and the packaging for a chisel to put on the tip of the screw for safety (since it is so sharp). The bracket is bent enough that although the screw reaches, it doesn't enter directly, however it just so happens that I can screw it in and it gets past the bend. You can see in the attached photos the way that I "McGuyvered" it with a comparison of just how short the included pin is and why it wouldn't reach. I may look for a replacement pin that is longer than the supplied one, or I may just leave it be, since it is for storing that I am using the screw and not when in use.The good:I got this to take kayaks on trips with my mom. It really seems super strong. There is no way that I can bend it back. It is heavy. I am better sharing the weight with my mom to carry it. We like that it can be folded down and put out of the way. The folding action has no play in ours. I don't have enough space for a washer as advised by another reviewer, which makes me further believe that the manufacturing processes are not very precise. We will be mounting it and taking Kayaks out this weekend and are very hopeful that this is exactly what we needed.I would buy it again, but I am guessing there will be toss ups what defect could be received.

Outstanding piece of equipment, well made with substantial steel parts. This will definitely last a lifetime with proper use. The only downside it the instructions that come with it. If you aren't mechanically inclined you will have a hard time putting this together. The instructions were obviously written by an idiot that didn't have to use them to assemble. Logical thought of how it should function is how you will assemble it as the "instructions" are worse than useless. All that aside, it does what it is intended for and very well at that. Perfect addition to my Reese-Hitch to transport my canoe when going fishing or canoe camping. Well worth the price and recommended to anyone looking for a support bracket to extend the bed of their truck at tailgate level. AAA+

It's constructed of heavy metal. Better quality than i was expecting. I have a 8' bed in my truck and a 13' kyak and it holds it perfectly. I'm surprised it didn't cost more for the quality of it.Thank you!!

Received in a box that must have fallen apart in shippingBox looked like it was taped up in the fedex delivery ground truckFull of holesI figured half of the stuff would be missingBeing a holy boxBut the box gods came to the rescueEverything was in the boxI looked at various cargo extensions before purchasing this oneMy main reason on this one isThe measurement between the tie downs is 48â€So a 4x8 sheet of plywood can be carried flat on this unitAll of the others were less the 48†wideFolds up. A very nice feature for storage, and has handles for carryingOthers manufacturers do not fold up or are 48†wideSeems to be made very wellPrice of this item is a bonusI would recommend this item

First the bad: Product arrived with box completely torn off on one end and numerous scratches and dings on the finish... Luckily, it’s a sturdy chunk of steel and it’s for a work/play vehicle so I don’t really care. I can just spray paint it if the finish gets bad. Other than that, the product is pretty great. Mostly well designed and seems like it will last forever with proper care. Love the folding action. Seems very sturdy and would definitely trust it to carry building materials or kayaks. Definitely would recommend this to anyone who wants to extend the bed of their pickup.Pro Tip: There is a decent amount of play in the folding action. To remedy this I added a 1/2†x 2†fender washer to each side of the hinge bolt (inside the hinge frame, see photos). These cover a lot of surface and really make the whole assembly a lot more solid. You can find these at any hardware store. You can also add one on either side of one of the bottom bolts to sturdy it up even further like I did (to do both of the lower bolts, you’d need smaller 1/2†washers). I also moved the small washers at the base of the folding arms to the inside of the hinge to remove the play, then added a locking washer on the outside (see third photo). The frame feels way more solid and sturdy and doesn’t rattle around. You could probably do the same thing inside your hitch receiver around the hitch pin if you have too much wiggle room there. Just would need the right size washers. Mine fits pretty snug though. Either way, best of luck!
