Wow, that truck bed extension really works! You may use this photo for publicity. I drove from Minneapolis to remote Minnesota to my off grid place...about 6 hours with no issues whatsoever! When we went to pick up the trusses at Menards, the guy doing the loading said "no way" can you get that in your truck!! Guess he was wrong

Great shipping box protected bed extender! Simple assembly

Works for carrying carpet rolls or kaya ks
by: David 08/21/2022
Allowed me to carry 16 foot lumber in a 6 foot 4 inch truck bed. Folded down to stay out of the way when not needed.

Nice fold up bed extender. It’s been left in the truck since I received it over a year ago. I’ve used it 10-12 times. Especially great for tying thin flexible material such as 12 foot trim. I’ve also hauled 16 foot decking boards without worry.
by: Ricky05/25/2023
When I got home yesterday I had a bad feeling when I seen the box but was to tired to open it.tape was pretty much holding it together today I opened it only to find out the nut,bolt hitch pin and clip wasn't there. Disappointed

That would be very disappointing! I looked into your order and our customer service team is already working with the manufacturer to send you the missing pieces.
by: Brad 04/29/2024
Works great for getting 16’ boards home from the lumber yard.
by: Stephen 08/03/2022
Made very well! Has some weight to it. The instructions pretty self explanatory. I haven’t used it yet but purchased to haul decking

Great this thing is awesome! Did my deck and was able to get longer boards,also my brother used to for his. Well worth the monet
by: Greg05/13/2023
Overall the extender was a great buy and good quality. Just disappointed it does not come with its own hitch pin and it just barley supports my long canoe.

You are right in that these extenders do not come with a hitch pin. What I would recommend for it would be an anti rattle lock like part # 63232. It will add safety along with anti wobble in the receiver. The distance from the center of the pin hole in your hitch receiver to the outer edge of the extender is 49.5 inches. This is long enough to work with most canoes and kayaks however you will want to measure to make sure. The longest extender that we offer is part # MAL32VR which would be 53 inches out.
by: Shawn06/19/2023
Package arrived with box tore up, the hardware needed to put together was missing, called etrailer the next day, they took care of the issue and had hardware a couple of days later. Thank You costumer support!! Have used the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender 1 time to haul a sheet of plywood and a 16 ft kayak 400+ miles, worked great and then folds up to not take a lot of room up in the garage.
by: Tom 07/27/2023
Item allows me to haul my kayak and my Grumman sport canoe in the back of my short-bed pickup. Works perfectly. As I got older, putting the boats on the top of the vehicle became too difficult, and this is a perfect solution. Item is easy to assemble and easy to put on and remove, and I really like the fact that it folds up when not in use. Highly recommended.
by: Andrew 03/31/2024
Always awesome service, exactly what I order. And this time, delivered 3 days earlier than the delivery estimate. My go-to site for car and truck stuff.
by: Robert 03/30/2024
Works as expected
by: Ryan 02/19/2024
This thing carries a ton of weight, I use it every week. So glad I got it. Worth every penny!
by: Daniel04/09/2024
Fast shipping. I like that it folds up. Good design and well built
by: Suzanne11/20/2023
I bought this for my husband a year ago and it is great! He has used it so many times. It is easy to set up and break down to store, and does the job it is supposed to.
by: BG06/05/2022
It’s the best on the market! We had our extender delivered overnight for a canoe trip we originally didn’t plan on attending. The folks Etrailer followed up with a phone call after placing my order to ensure all info was correct and it shipped exactly on time for us to make our trip.
by: Daniel03/16/2023
My Erickson Big Bed Load Extender arrived on time but was missing some parts because the ends of the box were severely damaged in shipping. I contacted the folks at Etrailer and they forwarded the missing parts in very timely manner. I am very pleased with the quality of the products they sell and their customer support.

Got my rack a day early. Perfect for my applications
by: Kirk 06/21/2023
Very handy for transporting canoes and kayaks safely in a truck with a 6-1/2 foot bed length.
by: Danny04/29/2023
Product seems very sturdy and the powder coating will definitely help keep the weather off the steel. The customer service department was excellent and the communication during transit was very good. The box came pretty destroyed and it should have been double boxed in my opinion due to the weight of the rack. It did have a few chips and scrapes, but all of the parts were there to the best of my knowledge. I look forward to getting my kayak loaded up and trying out the stability of the rack during transit.
by: Brian07/29/2017
I use this for hauling lumber. It's very sturdy and easy to assemble. Also once assembled it goes on and off the truck in seconds. Easily handles 14 foot boards probably could go 16 but I haven't tried yet.
by: Pat 08/30/2023
Works great. Excellent customer service at etrailer
by: Carey 04/04/2023
Great product for the price.would be nice if it came with hitch pins so I don’t have to buy more or take them from something else.
My truck is still put away for winter so I am unable to post pictures
by: Joseph 04/09/2023
I bought it to extent the bed of the truck so I could easily carry my kayaks. It works beautifully. It also extends the bed of the truck to easily carry plywood or drywall or use your imagination.
by: Bob R.06/10/2015
Easy to set up. It solved the problem of hauling my extension ladder and lumber. I was impressed with etrailer.com service. After submitting the order online, I realized I had made an error. I called the 1-800 and got quick service, and received a followup call, that did not have to be made, but showed their level of service commitment. I learned about the Bed Load Extender from a review in the Journal of Light Construction. I found etrailer.com by chance online, am glad that I did, and look forward to my next purchase with them.

See what our Experts say about this Erickson Truck Bed Extender
- Recommended Canoe Carrier For Short Bed TruckThe longest load extender is the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs # EM07600. This is 52-1/2" long x 48-1/2" wide. For a 16 foot canoe, there really isn't a good solution for such a short bed without going onto the roof. I recommend the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 for your application. If you really don't want anything on your roof, then I recommend the Malone MicroSport Trailer - Galvanized Steel Wheels - 13' Long - 375...
view full answer... - Will Yakima HullyRollers Fit the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600The Yakima HullyRoller will not fit the bars on the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600. The bars are 1 inch square and the HullyRollers will only accept square bars that are 7/8 by 1-1/4 inches. In order to get the HullyRollers to fit you would need to use universal MightyMounts # Y03590. I have linked our returns policy for you.
view full answer... - Truck Bed Load Extender for a 2-1/2 ReceiverCurrently the only truck bed extenders we carry are going to be for a 2" receiver like the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600. We do have a Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45018 which you can use to have a custom made extender. This 41" or 48" extension will allow for 400lbs of tongue weight at 48" or 500lbs at 41". This hitch box extension fits into a 2-1/2" receiver. Otherwise you could have a Reducer # BX88187 welded to the 2" tube on the extender so you will not have to deal with...
view full answer... - Truck Bed Extender With 400 lb CapacityThe Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs # EM07600 is a fairly strong accessory. It is not recommended to add a wheel to this product and it would void the manufacturer warranty. Most other products rated for this application are rated at 350 lb load capacity so the Erickson extender is a little beefier. When in use it measures 52-1/2" long x 48-1/2" wide. I recommend using ratchet straps like the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Releases - 1"...
view full answer... - Can the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender be Used with a 2006 Dodge MagnumYes, I have recommend load extenders such as # EM07600 for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. Sometimes it is just the right tool for the job! Once installed in the hitch the minimum height is 16 inches. If you measure from the top of the receiver opening up 16 inches on your 2006 Dodge Magnum that will be the approximate height of the extender once installed. I have linked a video review of this extender for you. In order to use this extender your Magnum would have to have a Class III trailer...
view full answer... - Will Load Extender Match the Truckbed Height of 2016 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Hitch?The lowest setting of the Erikson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 is 18" in height while the lowest setting of the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 is measured at 17" high. That will still bring you at an inch higher than your truck bed. If you're carrying a kayak, you can put down some foam blocks like Malone RackPads # MPG314 to lift the kayak up on your truck bed and you can reuse the blocks when you store your kayak in your garage or on the ground. The blocks are 3-1/2"...
view full answer... - Length of Erickson EM07600 Big Bed Load ExtenderAccording to my Erickson representative, their Big Bed Load Extender, part # EM07600 is 48-3/4 inches long, measured from the hitch pin hole to the rear surface of the upright, as shown in the provided photo. If you click the provided link, you can see a product demonstration video featuring the load extender.

- Can the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender Be Used As a Roof ExtenderThe Erickson Big Bed Load Extender part # EM07600 is a bed extender only. That said, we have plenty of options which are both a bed extender and roof extender like the Erickson Big Bed Junior part # EM07605 or the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender part # MPG907.
view full answer... - Weight of Erickson Big Bed Load Extender EM07600Good question, because tongue weight is an important consideration, and I can tell you that the overall weight is 38 lbs for the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches # EM07600. The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 fits 2" hitches and has a 400 lb capacity which which you'll want to keep in mind as well. The only other thing you will need is a pin and clip or hitch lock to secure the extender in your hitch, and for that you can use the Pin and Clip # C21500 or Anti-Rattle...
view full answer... - Features and Operation of Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 offers a great mix of features that enable it to serve many cargo-assist purposes in a range of vehicles from pickups to SUVs. Please take a look at the linked video. This shows the various design features, which include adjustable height and folding capability, and also illustrates the operation of the extender. Note that a pin (or locking hitch pin) is required to secure the extender in your hitch. You can use a simple pin and clip # PC3...
view full answer... - Can A Hitch Extender Be Used With A Truck Bed Load Extender Hi Carlos, A hitch extender could be used with the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches # EM07600, it's just not recommended because you'd be cutting the capacity in half and putting a lot of leverage on the hitch. I recommend throwing in some hitch pin locks # e98880 to help prevent anyone from walking off with your equipment while you're out kayaking.
view full answer... - Best Hitch for a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SportYes, we do have a trailer hitch for your 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13079. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mitsubishi with included hardware. For a wiring harness that allows you to control your trailer or accessories lighting functions I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TK67VR. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is...
view full answer... - Recommended Foam Block Kayak Pads for Use In Truck BedTypically foam blocks like the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier # MPG152 are designed to be placed on crossbars, but you could use them flat on the truck bed like you've mentioned and they'd do just fine. These pads are 18" long so they'll provide you with a good deal of protection for the bottom of the boat. You're likely going to want to secure the boat with something like the etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps w/ Buckle Protectors - 1" x 13' - 293 lbs - Qty 4 # E98876-4 to make sure that...
view full answer... - Can the Length of the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender Be AdjustedThe length of the truck bed extenders like the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches part # EM07600 are not adjustable. That said, all you would need to do is move the load away from the cab in order for it to rest on both the bed floor and crossbar. It could then be tied down to keep if from sliding back and forth inside the truck bed.
view full answer... - Can I Install The Erickson Big Bed Load Extender On My 2022 Hyundai Santa CruzIf you are getting a 2" hitch receiver installed on your 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, you will not need any adapters to install the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs, part # EM07600. I have included a video review link below.
view full answer... - Load Extender for 2006 Ram 2500 Short Bed and 2×10×16 BoardsThe Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 would actually be a great option for your long boards since it is 48-1/2 inches wide overall. That is one of the widest load extenders available. As far as length this or really any of the extenders would be fine. I do recommend adding a hitch immobilizer # BX88224 because these extenders are known to have a fair amount of movement in the hitch (due it part to the length of the extender).
view full answer... - Can a Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 Carry 2 KayaksDepends on the width of you kayaks and the width of your truck bed, the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 is 48-1/2 inches in width so if your kayaks are narrower than than next to each other this load extender should work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out. You might also be interested in a pin and clip part # PC3 and ratcheting tie downs like part # EM34415.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity for the Erickson Big Bed Load ExtenderThe 400 lb limit would be for bed distributed loads. Basically, if what you are carrying weighs less than 400 lbs the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 that you referenced would work for you. Check out the review video I attached for this product for you to check out also.
view full answer... - How Far will Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 Extend Past Hitch on Toyota Tacoma 5 FT BedThe Erickson Big Bed Load Extender, # EM07600, measures 49-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the upright. I have included a picture to illustrate this measurement. To determine exactly how far the extender, # EM07600, will extend past the hitch of your Toyota Tacoma, you will just want to measure out 49-1/2 inches from your hitch pin hole.
view full answer...
- Height Measurements of Erickson Beg Bed Load ExtenderThe Big Bed load extender, part # EM07600, has three height settings in 1 inch increments. I went out to the warehouse and measured from the center of the hitch pin hole myself and they're about 17-1/8, 18/-1/8, and 19-1/8 inches to the top of the load bar.
view full answer... - Crossbar Width of Erickson Big Bed Load ExtenderThe Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 has crossbars which are 48-1/2" when in use, and that dimension does not include the wings - or tie-down points - at the end of the crossbars. The 48-1/2" is usable space, so your 4' wide plywood or drywall will have 1/2" of space when you lay them down on the crossbars.

- Is Erickson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 Wide Enough To Carry 48 Inch Wide Plywood When the arms of the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender, part # EM07600 are opened, they have a span of 48-1/2 inches. This would accommodate 4 ft wide sheets of plywood you asked about. There are also six tie-down points you can take advantage of when this is installed. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out. This extender does not come with a hitch pin and clip, so I recommend part # PC3 for a standard hitch pin and if you want to make sure it is secured to...
view full answer... - Availability of Light Kit for Erickson EM07600 Big Bed Load ExtenderAlthough there isn't a purpose-built option for what you want to do, there are options from a magnetic mount light kit to options that would require some modification of the load extender. For the easiest option that wouldn't involve any alteration or fabrication, I'd recommend a magnetic mount lamp set up like the # RM-2120 offered by Roadmaster. If you'd rather avoid a magnetic option, something like the # RM-2120 could be a good choice. The lamps mounting flaps could sit atop the arms...
