I bought this bed extender because the bed of my truck is not a full size bed. I drive a RAM crew cab and these trucks tend to have a shorter bed. Adding this extender allows me to place items in the back without having to worry about them sliding off on the trip home or having to place 2x4s on top of my tail gate. If you couple this bed extender with a good quality bed cover you can even carry other items like luggage or tools in the back securely. This bed extender was easy to assemble and easy to install. Just follow the directions provided. The quality of the materials is good and it is very easy to use. I was able to use it to place several things in the back and they did not move around at all. Also, you may want to make sure you carry a couple of bungee cords with you just in case you need extra security for your items. When extended you have the buckles that will keep the extender in place in case you hit any bumps on the road. It comes with extra parts that you can use just in case one of the parts gets lost and needs replacing. One of the things that did confuse me is that it comes with small covers for the pivot points where the pins are and these covers don't seem to want to stay in place. The weight of the whole extender is very light and it is very easy to close. Even my wife and my son were able to do it with no trouble. Overall it is a good product and I would highly recommend it if you want to extend your bed to make it more like a full size bed.
