Yakima LongArm Bed Extender Review - 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Yakima LongArm on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

Today we have the BedRock installed and since they are the same brand they do work pretty nicely together. This is gonna be great if you need to haul any longer items kind of like kayaks or a ladder like we have today. What I also like about it is you don't need to use it with a bed rack. more
