"The instructions were not clear concerning my 2006 Tundra. They seem to indicate that a bracket was needed which was included but it did not work with my truck. I was also disappointed that with the x-tender open the space was only 71/2 feet, still not long enough for a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. Flipped in, the x-tender serves well as a bracket to keep items from sliding."

"I ended up putting the template for attaching the unit to the wall too close to the tailgate. I'll have to re-drill another hole. Your template may be too narrrow for a truck with a bed. The shipping box was badly damaged and the rails scratched but I installed anyway. I've had problems with FedEx Ground in the past. I wish you shipped with another company."

"It's a well built quality piece in my opinion. It's got more pro's than con's. Pro's: ------ Relatively easy to assemble. Fully adjustable to any width bed so no worries as to what the width of your truck bed is. Quick release knobs make removing/re-installing the extender a quick and easy task. Extremely light metal and construction makes it easy to lift out of your bed and to re-install. Expands to any size truck bed and is easily adjustable to the width of your bed, no pre-sizing and measuring, it can all be done "on the fly". If installed properly can easily "flip" back into the bed of your truck. Is lower than the height of the bed rails so it can easily fit under any tonneau cover. Con's: ------ Over priced for "... what it is...". Use of square hole screws make assembly a bit of a pain if you do not have the "correct" tools. Minor drilling of guide holes for the six screws to attach the quick release attachment clamps. The directions are not the best, but are OK if you just "think" about what you're doing. The aluminum structure most likely will not withstand any heavy load. The attachment clamps do not lock firmly onto the extender clips, making it a weak "link" in the application. I would recommend this product to anyone actually. I have no complaints as it suits my needs."

"Very happy with this bed extender, easy to install and use. Works perfectly to corral gear or four wheeler in a short box. Also is great for keeping groceries or whatever from rolling all over your bed when the gate is up."

"I'm impressed with the quality, fit, and finish and AutoAnything's delivery was quick as usual. However, AMP Research really needs to get someone new to write their instructions. Great product but you need to be handy to figure out the assembly."

"Not only is it well made, but it is a 2-in-1 item. It extends your bed for large purchases to avoid sliding out and it flips into the bed to coral smaller purchases sliding around in the bed. It was the best father's day present!"

"took awhile to put together, but it was well worth it as it looks beautiful and all came together with no problems at all. I had to drill holes in my bed liner to mount the side brackets, but that also came out terrific. Strongly recommend the product. It works and looks great. I also bought some double sided velcro to hold the straps to the extender when not in use, so it did not make noise. Very happy with the product"

"I like my bed extender, but it took me a long time to put the unit together. The instructions were not very clear, and some of the screws and bolts did not quite fit. A couple of trips to the local ACE Hardware store, and it was fixed. Still not sure it fits my Tacoma properly, and I am not sure I would go with another Westin product."

A little tricky..

"IT took me about 2 hours to put this together and get it installed. The pictures in the instructions are slightly confusing, and my bed liner gave me some hassle. Once I got the holes in the bed liner the trickiest part was the brackets but after some trial and error I got it in and it looks great. It goes in and comes out easy and I am really looking forward to using it. I would reccomedn it but make sure you have some time and you have a size 20 torx and 6mm hex."

"The product is great & fit into my Toyota Tacoma perfectly, it's real easy to install & I love it. When they sent me the product, it's lost. But AutoAnything sent me a replacement 2 days after I call them. Very responsive & responsible company! That's "REAL" customer service. No doubt to recommend to my friends & I will buy stuff from AutoAnything again for sure."

"THIS IS MY 2ND WESTINE XTENDER. THIS IS ONE OF THE USEFUL ADDITIONS THAT YOU CAN ADD TO A PICK UP. ALLOWS A QUAD TO FIT IN THE BACK WITH NO PROBLEMS AND ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO PLACE GROCERIES AND SMALL ITEM IN THE BED WITHOUT SLIDING ALL OVER. THIS IS THE 1ST TIME THAT I PURCHASED FROM AUTOANYTHING. VERY SMOOTH AND VERY FAST. I WILL DEFINITELY BUY FROM THEM AGAIN."
