HitchRack Adjustable Truck Bed Load Extender Review

HitchRack Adjustable Truck Bed Load Extender
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is great! Most recently I used it to bring home a 28' ladder (only 14' when not extended) in the back of my 99 Yukon. With the back seats folded down, the cargo area is 8' to the edge of the tailgate when it's down. It's 11' to the bed extender, which makes it perfect for carrying 12' lumber and drywall. And it's a lot easier to load than trying to lift things onto the roof.
I wouldn't drive a long way with the tailgate open, but it's perfect for bringing things home from the local Lowe's or Home Depot. Lowe's has a flat fee of $75 for delivery, so this already has paid for itself.
On my way home there are a couple hills that I thought might pose a problem for such a long extension out the back when I first approach, but it didn't come close to touching ground in the back.
With the supplied pins (4), it's quickly installed or disassembled. No tools necessary. If you don't already have a hitch pin, you'll need one.
A very useful tool.

Truck Bed Rack Ladder Rack Pickup Truck Lumber Racks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I RECEIVED THIS ITEM AS PROMISED.
THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS
IT WAS SIMPLE TO A POINT
AFTER THE FOUR UPRIGHT CORNERS WERE BOLTED DOWN, THE UPRIGHTS WERE NOT VERTICAL. THEY LEANED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK BY ONE OR TWO INCHES.
THIS MEANT THE TUBE BRACKETS FOR THE CROSS PIECES WOULD NOT SLIDE DOWN WITH THE CROSS PIECES IN THEM.
I USED A WIRE HOIST TO PULL THE SIDES INTO ALIGNMENT. THIS SLIGHTLY TWEAKED THE BED RAILS, (NOT A PROBLEM).
THIS DONE, THE TUBE BRACKETS FOR THE CROSS PIECES FELL RIGHT INTO PLACE.
BOLT HOLES DID NOT LINE UP EXACTLY AND I HAD TO DRILL THEM OUT. I THEN BOLTED ALL TOGETHER. ASSEMBLY TOOK APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS.
THIS RACK IS STURDY, FEELS STRONG, AND HOLDS THE LADDERS WELL.
IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR HEAVY CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.

Pro-Series HTEXT Truck Extension Review

I bought the Pro-Series HTEXT Truck Extension because I needed a back rack to carry my canoe and I didn't want to put a permanent rack on the back of my truck. The Pro-Series HTEXT Truck Extension is well built and is easy to install, it slides into your existing reese hitch and adjusts to the height you want.

Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount Truck Adapter for Thule Canoe and Kayak Carriers Review

Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount Truck Adapter for Thule Canoe and Kayak Carriers

I use Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount rack to haul huge Current Designs Libra XT double kayak on top of my Toyota 4Runner. I am very pleased with the rack, it keeps the kayak very secure. You don't have to worry about longitudinal kayak wobbling when you drive over the rough terrain or speed bumps! I've noticed some latitudinal movement of the rack, though I have not observed any negative effects of it. As far as I can tell, this is pretty much the only option to haul something long and heavy on top of 4Runner as the roof base for putting a two-crossbar roof rack is very small unless your truck has factory-installed rails. To give you a complete picture of my setup, I also use Yakima BoatLoader accessory on my front roof-mounted crossbar. This allows me to load and unload the heavy beast by myself, which makes my life so much easier. Granted, you can't open the rear cargo door with this rack in the trailer hitch, but I can live with that.

Want to carry your canoe or kayak on your truck without resting it unsteadily in the pickup bed? Turn to the Yakima DryDock hitch-mount truck adapter, which creates a top-of-the-truck system capable of carrying kayaks, canoes, and other long loads. The Y-frame DryDock fits onto any 2-inch receiver hitch with an anti-wobble threaded hitch pin, creating a solid foundation for the load. Once installed, simply match the height of the DryDock with your rooftop rack and you're set. The unit comes with stabilizing straps that attach underneath your rear bumper, although you'll need to purchase bow/stern tie-down straps (sold separately) to keep the boats secure. As with all Yakima racks, the DryDock carries a lifetime warranty.
