Yakima LongArm Bed Extender Review - 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video

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

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2017 Chevy Colorado, we're gonna be checking out the Erickson Big Bed tailgate extender junior.

Hey, everybody, it's Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Darby Extend-A-Truck load extender on our 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. Now our Extend-A-Truck load extender is going to do exactly what it sounds like.
