  • Flips into the truck bed to stop tools, groceries and other gear from sliding around
  • Powder-coated silver or black for sharp looks that won’t rust
  • Mighty nylon straps hold the bed extender down when folded out

Description

Transform your short bed into a full-blown long bed without taking a trip to the dealer—the AMP Research Bed X-Tender gives you a full 2 feet of extra payload length! Simply open your tailgate, flip out your Bed X-Tender, and you have room for those oversize loads. Lumber, sheet rock, ATVs—this bed extender can contain any load.

But, the AMP Research Bed X-Tender’s versatility doesn’t just end there. With the tailgate closed, it fences-in a handy cargo corral. Whether you’re transporting groceries, sports gear, or tools, your Bed X-Tender keeps everything from sliding and scattering around your bed.

AMP Research designed your Bed X-Tender without compromising quality. It’s crafted from choice 6000-series aluminum—the same stuff used in aerospace. And, you can choose between a smooth silver or black powder coating. Installation is a breeze with only minor drilling needed. 3-year warranty.

"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."

"Installed easily once the parts were identified.A numbered parts list or diagram would have been helpful. It seems to function well for what I use it for--light personal use."

"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!"
