I have the one like that from Harbor freight I got it because it would stand up so I could load yak on top if needed ,it will drag if the dip is deep enough but for the most part I am very satisfied with it .

There are plenty of things that may justify a higher end unit on. This is not one, imo. I have a Harbor Freight one like Nathan is selling. It drug one time when I had it on my 2wd Ford. I seriously doubt you'll ever have a problem with that.

I have a Hitchrack bed extender similar to the one in your Amazon link and have hauled 2 kayaks with it. One sitting flat and the second kayak leaned upside down, with pool noodles between them for cushioning. You can expand the width of the top from 28" to 48".

thanks for the input, I'm not that concerned with dragging since my truck sits pretty high, but that was a comment in many of the reviews.
Wish you were closer Nathan

I have the Amazon one. Very happy with it with one minor modification: I wanted some extra padding on the support bar, so I ended up putting a pool noodle (cut to fit with my pocket knife) around the bar and securing it with zip ties.

I bought this one off eBay (its like a combo of the ACK and Amazon ones you posted) but only $58 and no tax or shipping. eBay Truck Bed Extender It worked great and its lightweight and can be installed/uninstalled in less than a minute.

You might want to consider this type of lock for your extender, they come in chrome or stainless and you can get them in multiples keyed alike.

I always remove my extender and throw it in the truck after I launch so no need to lock it down. That would be handy though if you had to leave it on the truck for any extended period of time!
