Bed Extender???

[RiverRojo]

Any notice of an available bed extender? A 5ft bed won't cut it for my ice fishing sled, and I need room for 4 people.

Thanks!

I think that Yakima LongArm bed extender is going to be a total winner for me.

Very versatile for hauling long items (canoes, lumber, etc) and it’s easy to store.

I’m curious how much the tailgate can handle. I had to reinforce the tailgate on my 2002 Ranger with a custom shaped piece of Diamond plate (bent 4 times to go over the hump spanning the bottom of the tailgate). This allowed the weight of my my motorcycle’s rear wheel to rest on the tailgate.

Light motorcycles? Ford's been showing this picture at least.

Tailgates are much "heavier duty" than ever. Ford realizes people are getting crew cab trucks to haul people and sacrificing bed length to do so. Comparing my 2006 F250 gate to a 2010 gate, there are substantial differences in structure and weight. The same thing with comparing the 2010 to a 2016. The downfall is that it takes 2 people to remove a newer SD tail gate (even the aluminum ones) while I can do it myself on my truck.

Per the owners manual...
