MaxxHaul 70231 Hitch Mount Pick Up Truck Bed Extender For Ladder, Rack, Canoe, Kayak, Long Pipes and Lumber) , Black , 37 x 19 x 3 inches

I have a 2025 Colorado ZR2 with the 5’2” bed I did a lot of research what bed extender to get. For the cost this is fantastic. I was worried about some of the reviews saying it’s a loose fit. But rest assured this is secured after you tie down what ever you need to it won’t shake or budge. Some of the cons of this extender doesn't come with hitch pin. Also tie down points are a little small and not to many points to begin with. Last thing is the pins that put this together isn’t lockable so make sure install it when you need it or someone can walk away with it. Now for the pros sturdiness this is fantastic works great. Easy to put together and extremely portable. I leave it in my bed against my cab that way I have it with me if I ever need it. Alignment after putting it in the hitch is spot on. The cost is great for what you get. Looks to be powder coated so should last a long time. So overall this is a great purchase if I can figure a way to make those pins lockable this would be a 10 star unit all day.

This was delivered yesterday. Assembled in less than five minutes and placed in my receiver hitch. I drove sixty-five miles to the Tractor Supply Store that had Sun Dolphin American 12 plastic jon boats in stock. I bought one, loaded it up in the bed, ratchet strapped everything down tight, and drove home. The boat did not move. This is an EXCELLENT option to carry a jon boat if you have no trailer. Some reviewers comment about the assembly being wobbly, but that wobble is what keeps parts from breaking when you hit bumps - so those nitpickers don't really know what they're talking about. I am so glad I purchased this hitch mounted bed extender, and I plan on using it extensively, not only to carry my jon boat but also to haul some long lumber and other building materiel. I highly recommend this item. I have seen how some have added pool noodle cushioning to the cradle, and I fully intend on doing the same as that is a brilliant idea for protecting a load. Buy with confidence because it works, and enjoy the fact that you're getting it for such a bargain basement price!

I’ve been very happy with the MaxxHaul 70231 Hitch Mount Truck Bed Extender. It has two configurations, although so far I’ve only used the shorter setup. I drive a Tacoma with a 5-foot bed, and it works perfectly for hauling my extension ladder and half bundles of EMT. The extender is solid and doesn’t feel cheaply made at all. It assembled easily and has worked exactly as expected. I also purchased the MaxxHaul 70050 Trailer Hitch Lock based on another reviewer’s recommendation. Some reviews mention that the extender can feel a little loose. That’s technically true, but this isn’t like a rigid trailer hitch. Because the extender has a couple of sections, a little play actually makes sense. If it were completely rigid it could potentially put more stress on the components. Overall the quality has been very good and it’s been a great solution for hauling longer materials with a short bed truck. If you have a Tacoma or any short-bed pickup and occasionally need to carry ladders, conduit, lumber, or similar materials, this works really well. Very happy with the purchase.

For price, was very happy with this item. Works very well for one or two kayaks on the back of the truck. Pretty lightweight and is sturdy enough. Very easy to set up and fits well with my dodge ram 1500. Only thing is the top two corners always dig into the side of the kayaks and worry me that they will puncture the sides so I’ve had to make some at home adjustments. But aside of this it’s a good product and has been used pretty frequently.

Have not used yet but did check for fit and damage. Box was slightly damaged but all pieces look fine and fit together perfectly. This should make hauling my 17' foot canoe easy.

Excellent design, engineering, and quality ! The product does everything as shown in the pictures. It is super easy to install and uninstall. With the sections it allows you to assembly and move sections of it to make it lighter. Well thought out and makes transporting my Kayak a dream!

Not quite perfect as I had to weld an extension to the vertical cradle. It is a very handy piece of equipment and quite strong.

Very well built, easy to assemble, works as advertised!

Es un excelente producto, de buena calidad, resistente y de fácil instalación, solo tiene el detalle de que necesita accesorios adicionales para evitar las vibraciones y el ruido.

It works as expected supporting longer loads.

I couldn’t be happier with this item. It is very sturdy and easy to assemble and install. Literally took about 2.5 minutes to unpackage and assemble. I’m surprised at the ruggedness of the extender considering what I paid for it. I bought it for my Titan crew cab which only has a 5’8” box, to carry lumber and our kayaks. It’ll do that and more. In fact, I just brought home ten 6x6x14 fence posts and it worked perfectly. I’m pretty rough on gear but this will meet my needs. Can’t believe it was only $85 CDN. Nice to see companies making good products at reasonable prices. I’ll buy more of their stuff.

The item took 5 minutes to install, very easy, amazing!! However the product didn’t provide a safety hitch pin for tow bar recipient area. This caused huge problems as I had to rush to a hardware store late evening to ensure I could take my kayaks out!!

Muy resistente. Muy fácil de armar y muy ligera. Vale la calidad x el ñrecio
