Quick, easy and effective.
5 Stars
Quick, easy and effective.
Purchased it because was tired of climbing all over the roof of my Tundra to secure paddle boards and kayaks. I built a wooden piece that drops over the cross member and covered it with indoor/outdoor carpet to protect boats. Will make loading boats way quicker and easier, it comes off quick and folds up to make storing it a breeze. Added bonus It will be handy for hauling long loads like lumber etc. Should have bought one years ago.

Purchased this to help transport a 12ft kayak in my pick up...handled the job with ease. Super easy to install and disassemble. Would be a great add on to have optional padding for supporting cargo but you can do that after market. Definitely would recommend to those not wanting to spend way more on a permanent rack system.

Seems like a good item, went to assemble it to find out the nuts are missing for the bolts... kind of makes it a useless item without them. Scuffed from poor box packaging upon arrival, wish i could say better things about the erickson brand. Disappointing.

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019

Bought this for hauling lumber in my truck. While not a short bed, I think 12+ft lumber is a bit too long to haul safely with a 6ft bed. This supports the lumber out 4ft from the end of the bed, or abou It can also be flipped and used in combination with a roof rack, but then you can't drop your tailgate. Height is adjustable with 5 pin holes, for about 10" of adjustment to find level with your bed.

Finish is a nice, textured powder coat, but the inside isn't coated so they could rust over time. Mine had surface rust inside right out of the box.

Tube steel is thick enough that it seems it will be strong enough to support the rated 350lb, but it is light enough to easily handle. Knocked down it doesn't take up much space. The pieces do have a bit of slack and wobble around when unloaded, but once loaded and strapped down the wobble goes away.

Be advised, loading a couple hundred pounds cantilevered way back of your car /truck, will make your rear suspension squat far more than the same weight in the inside the car/bed. Overloading the rear suspension unloads the front suspension, and reduces braking and steering. Bigger concern on cars and jeeps with soft suspension than on pickup trucks. Be safe out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome bed extender
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020
Size: 350 PoundsVerified Purchase
This is an easy to use bed extender. Works perfectly for hauling kayaks.
The finish is very good, pretty heavy overall and is very sturdy. The hooks on the end work great for adding a red flag and to secure the end of my kayaks.
My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to change the color.
Black looks pretty sharp, but when you are driving on a sunny day be sure to wear gloves when you disconnect and store it because this thing gets hot. Wish it were something lighter and more visible like a bright green or orange.
Only other suggestion would be to add some reflectors to the end.
Other than that, this thing is awesome.

Update:
Because it gets hot on a sunny day, I took an extra large pool noodle, cut a slit in it and fit the noodle over the end and used long wire ties to secure it to the t-bar end. The kayaks sit on the pool noodle instead of the black metal t-bar.

Seems a bit wobblily but for the price i believe it will perform as advertised for many years to come and has been helpful to me for moving longer items without a trailer. Once your items are secure on it and you use some rope bracing from the ends of the brace to help stabilize, you can reduce wobbling and it performs well. very adjustable and can be used high or lower positions. This item payed for its self for me many times over by picking up ladders and other scaffolding items that delivery charges would be more coast to me. great for moving small row boat in my short bed pickup truck too.

This item is fantastic, very sturdy and great for the DIY homeowner. I’ve used it three times so far and it has already paid for itself saving me from renting a trailer when I need 16ft boards. Definitely invest in some properly sized ratchet straps if you plan to use it on the highway or don’t have a passenger to act as a spotter on the back roads. It’s a little nerve racking the first time you use it but as long as you tie your load down properly you will have no issues.
