 Truck bed extender July 30, 2008
I bought this for my father and he loves it. It was delivered quickly and was easy to assemble.
Darby 944 Extend-A-Truck is AWESOME! July 24, 2008
Got this for my son's canoe which is 16 ft. 4 inches long. I have a 2005 four door Tundra which would hold only about a third of the canoe. With this extender and a red flag which comes with it I can haul my canoe anywhere with relative ease. The only con to this product is that since the extender (which goes out 4 feet) is only connected to the truck with a 4 inch hitch type coupling it is a little wobbly. Not lose the canoe wobbly but just not totally tight. I just use a couple of bungie cords and everthing is right as rain. Thanks Darby and Amazon for offering just want I needed when I needed it.

This product fit on my truck, but it rattles quite a bit. You need to do a really good job of securing it to feel comfortable. Haven't actually used it yet because I'm just not sure if it will actually hold the kayak. My opinion could change once I use it.
Does exactly as it says it will January 29, 2008
This is definitely a plus for owners of short-bed pickup trucks who need to occasionally carry long loads, like 2x4's or the likes. I've got a Ford Sport-Trac that only has a 4-1/2' bed. This extension adds a total of 9' from the front of the bed to the back edge of the rack.
It's got a little bit of play, but there's not a trailer hitch accessory in the world that doesn't. It's not enough to be concerned about breakage or failure, but it will rattle when you hit bumps going down the road.
I added silver and red conspicuity tape to the back and sides of mine to give other drivers a little more awareness that it's there. I'd hate to have someone run into it and say "I didn't see it".
The loops are barely big enough to fit the rubber coated hooks from ratchet straps through, but bungee cords fit fine. I'll probably add a few more J-hooks to have more tie down places.
It's packaged quite well, one piece is wrapped in cardboard and placed inside the other to prevent scratching. I actually got mine the day after I ordered it, and only paid standard shipping on it.
Brilliant Answer to an Ancient Problem November 15, 2007
Whoever thought up the Extend-a-Truck deserves to be a millionaire. What a great idea! The two separate pieces are easy to carry, simple to install, and they stow away in your truck in between uses. All you need to carry your kayak or canoe is a pickup truck, a class III hitch and an Extend-a-Truck.
Plus, you load your boat at waist-high level - far easier than trying to car-top!
