Darby Extend-A-Truck Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2010 Ram 1500- Video

Today on our 2010 Ram 1500, we're going to be test fitting the Darby Extend-A-Truck Load Extender, part number DTA944. This will extend your truck vertically from 53 to 60 inches and horizontally from 13 inches to 20 inches to match up with your truck beds. This is adjustable, as I said, so this does work with a wide variety of vehicles. What you can use this for is if you we're to have, say, a roof rack installed on your truck, you can use this for ladders, lumber, water-sports carriers such as kayaks or canoes, anything you can think of. It also comes with the pins and clips to keep them in place, as well as a red tag or flag, excuse me, to put on the end of your load to let them know that it is an extended load. We have it in the upright position right now, and I would like to point out on the side here, we do have these adjustable points to work out with different vehicles. Let's go ahead and take a couple measurements real quick. With it in the upright position, measuring from the edge of our bumper out, we've added about 9 inches to the rear of the vehicle when it's in this position. more

Darby Extend-A-Truck Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2016 Ram 1500- Video

Today on this 2016 Ram 1500, we're going to be test fitting the Darby Extend-A-Truck Hitch Mounted Load Extender. Part number DTA944. Right now we have it loaded in its highest position, trying to match as close as we can with the cab of our truck. Now in this position, it's perfect for hauling ladders, conduit pipes and other things like that. If you had a roof rack system on your truck, you can extend this higher because there are different settings you can use to match up with those heights as well. Next I'm going to go ahead and give you a quick measurement here to give you an idea how much it rises up from this point at the shank. more

Now, if you have a ladder rack, or a headache rack on your vehicle, and you'd like to place something longer in the bed of your truck, and keep the inside of your bed open, this would be a perfect opportunity to do so, whether that be lumber, or anything else. Let's go ahead and line up our pinholes, and place in our hitch pin and clip. Now with our hitch pin and clip inserted you will see that this is adjustable at the top to meet multiple different heights depending on your cab and your headache rack, or ladder rack height. Simply pull the pin, lift and lower it to meet up with the pin holes. more
