    Product Details

    BedXTender HD™ Max Bed Extender (74811-01A) by AMP Research®. Finish: Black. This aluminum-tube assembly has a “U” shape design to provide the largest amount of corralled space of any bed extender. Flip it inside and close the tailgate to keep tools and smaller cargo contained in the truck bed or flip it over with the tailgate open to gain two extra feet of fenced cargo area. Ideal for carrying ATVs, motorcycles, and other bulky cargo that won’t fit in your bed.

    Installation

    AMP Research® - Bed Extender HD for Toyota Tacoma InstallationAMP Research® - Bed Extender HD for Toyota Tacoma Installation

    As truck beds became shorter to make way for more passenger space in the 1990s, AMP Research created the first BedXTender and has been refining it ever since. Bed extenders give you the benefits of a full-size truck bed without having to own one. Operation of AMP Research BedXtenders remains simple today. Keep it inside your bed with the tailgate up to create a two-foot fenced in area when heavier cargo needs to be separated from smaller items that can be damaged. When it’s time to carry longer items that won’t fit inside the bed, simply lower the tailgate and flip the BedXTender over. You’ll extend your usable carrying area by two additional feet on top of the tailgate panel. Vertical cross pieces provide structural support for the horizontal bars, and are designed to be both durable and shock-absorbing.

    Three horizontal bars span the entire width of the bed extender to prevent lower and smaller items from sliding through the cracks. Whether you’ve got grocery bags, electronic equipment, mulch bags, or large items such as motorcycles or ATVs, you’ll truly maximize your truck’s carrying ability with the Max Black Bed Extender. Installation is easy - after drilling a series of three template-guided holes on both sides of your bed, install the bracket pieces that hold your bed extender cage. Aircraft-grade aluminum ensures a minimum of weight is added to your vehicle, and a choice of durable powder coat finishes provides a surface that’s extremely resistant to chips, scratches, and the elements. Because the mounting position of the bed extender may interfere with some tonneau covers, AMP Research offers an adaptive Quick Latch Bracket Kit (sold separately) to facilitate the use of both items. AMP Research builds all components in the United States and backs them with a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty against failure due to manufacturing defects.

    Question
    Would this fit a 2012 Frontier Pro 4x with a tonneau cover (with push down clamps)??

    Bought this for a brand new 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x and it fits perfectly. Maybe 30 minutes total installation. Solid construction.

    Great Product.
    Please be aware that the required brackets are included with the extender - you do not need to buy separate brackets unless you plan to use one extender for more than one truck. It is great that this excellent accessory was made in America. It is well engineered, versatile, and easy to install. After you assemble the extender, attach the brackets to it, then adjust the extender to the proper width for your truck, use whatever you can find below the brackets to get the extender rails parallel to the truck bed (I used a large 3/8 drive socket and some wood shims). Next, carefully hold each bracket in place and use a pencil to outline at least 2 sides of the bracket. Remove the brackets from the extender, set the entire extender assembly aside, then place the bracket back against the outline to mark the holes for your drill. Doing so will deliver a parallel install for which you will be proud. I am still trying to think of a functional and decorative way to lock the extender to the truck bed - it is easy for anyone to lift it out of your truck and add to their own for only the price of a pair of brackets.

    Very nice piece. Pretty easy to install, only took me about an hour. Looks very nice and appears to be well made. I like the black powder coat finish... It looks sharp. And while I wondered at the $200 price, it is still cheaper than Toyota OEM, and I like the look of this extender better than Toyota's stock one.

    Bed Extender for Toyota Tacoma
    This is my third Amp Research bed extender purchase and install (Chevy Colorado, Dodge Ram 1500, and now Toyota Tacoma). They look and function very well. I couldn't live without them on my 6 foot bed trucks.

    Measure Everything, Don’t Trust a Template
    I just installed this on my Tundra. Overall, I’m happy with final product so far but, measure and prefit everything yourself and don’t trust the template. If you want your bed, extender crossbars to be parallel with the tailgate, measure everything yourself , shim it up to your desired fit and leveling and mark it yourself. My template was off in both height and hole orientation. the template for the bracket does not line up with the holes on the bracket hardware. Be careful before you drill !

    Great Product.
    I am very pleased with all aspects of my purchase. It came in on time. It was easy to install with everything I needed included with the bed extender. Easy to understand instructions were also part of the complete package. It has performed great and looks great. I will absolutely recommend this if anyone is looking for a bed extender.

    Bed Extender is Good but Screw Hardware Cheap
    The bed extender is of good quality and fits perfectly. The screws were cheap and one broke if in the truck which I could not get out. Had to drill a new hole inside of truck and use a different screw.
