I have a 2013 toyota tacoma with a 5ft bed. I know the extender adds about 4-5 ft but I have a kayak that is 15ft any trouble with kayak dragging.

We now have a 14 ft Hobie and it fits no problem. We use the tie downs on our five foot bed to secure them well in front. This works well for our needs and is definitely faster and easier then using the trailer or propping them up on the tail gate.

If the length is wrong, you ordered the wrong length. Toyota Tacomas come with (at least) two bed lengths. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong one and ended up with a cover some 10" too short. The next one fit perfectly. My error, and a costly one, but I should have made certain of the exact model of my daughter's truck before ordering. The bed widths are all the same, so if you're having trouble with that dimension, I'd think that someone at the factory screwed up. Good luck - these are great covers, once operator error is eliminated.

It works great the extension gives me a little more length so I don't have to fight securing the car seat. I have bucket seat in my van and the extender works for me.

Thanks for writing. The length can vary, but it's usually 3 feet. Yes, you can use an extender with it if need be.

I own a pickup, not a SUV, so I'm not sure what you are asking about a "SUV extension" but believe you may be asking if the bed extender can be positioned so that you can carry long items on the roof of your vehicle. The parts can be positioned so that the extender is even with the roof of your vehicle and I do not believe you would need a "SUV extender" as long as you have a trailer hitch on your SUV. I have only used my bed extender to haul long items in the bed of my Ranger pickup, not on my roof, but I could do so with the basic extender without needing any additional parts other than tie down straps.

Yes, i extended mine probably about 5 feet. It's nice since there are multiple lines and it maximizes the short amount of space. However, like the other reviews have stated, it doesn't always stay too tight. If you don't care how it looks, it works just fine.

This will extend your hitch by about 11-12". The top receiver is about 4 inches above the lower. It works the best on a truck or larger SUV where the primary receiver (bottom) can have a drop style hitch, giving you room for whatever you use the top for. I use it on a minivan, which works but is not the best. With the low clearance of the van, I have to use a straight hitch for the bottom receiver. My bike rack can then be used in the top rack with just enough clearance, but gives the van a "low rider" appearance.

I never tried to extend it much beyond the 4 feet. But please for your own sake, do not buy this waste of money! It... Does... Not....work!

Definitely should. I have two 15' Kayaks and no issues...just you'll need to space it a little more on the wall. Mine are about 8 ft apart. These are great!

I believe it to be 34 inches...I have it snugged up to 32. No extender on mine.

I have a 2013 Silverado with the short bed. I bought this one that extends to 71. Works great. I contact the seller just to make sure before I bought.

I have a 20 ft Alumaweld Stryker and when the dealer rigged the boat the structure scan cable was to short, he said I would have to get an extension cable. I took it home to check it out and discovered that re routing the cable fixed the problem.

Hi Thomas, YES, I loaded 45' long, 12' high, etc into our RV5365T-LMB. I wondered why it routed us one exit past our desired camp location. After arriving at KOA camp we headed into town and took the shorter route. Ahhhhh... there was the problem... R/R bridge with only 11' 6" clearance. So it works...

The cover sits on top of the bed rails so if the extender ids below the rails it should work.

It's 6ft, so if you have a short bed (5ft) then it's too long. I too have a short bed and just trimmed off the excess and used it in the bottom of my tool box. :) works great and doubled the value personally.

Yes you don't have to extend it to the full reach. Confirm that the minimum extension is under 3ft and you should be okay. On my rod it was. It's a great product for the price, good luck to you.

The long section extends about 4 feet from the end of the hitch. Short end of "L" would extend less than a foot. I use the long end in the hitch for my kayaks. It is perfect!!! Great product!!
