Adjustable Hitch Mount Truck Bed Extender for Ladders, Kayaks, Lumber, and More, 300 lb Capacity

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.
