Haul Motorcycles Securely with the AMP Research MOTOXTENDER™, Bed Extender for Compact, Short Bed Trucks

Client: AMP Research

AMP Research, makers of the original Bed X-Tender™, one of the most popular and useful truck accessories ever developed, is pleased to announce their new MOTOXTENDER™ truck bed extender. These days, compact trucks with large, four-door cabs are becoming increasingly popular. These smaller trucks tend to have short beds so that the rear wheel of a motorcycle extends out on the open tailgate so far that a standard Bed X-Tender will not fit. Now AMP Research has the solution for hauling motorcycles and ATVs securely with no hassle. The unique slant-back design of the MOTOXTENDER provides the extra room needed to allow truck owners to haul two full size motorcycles in a compact, short bed pickup.

MOTOXTENDER installs easily using the standard supplied Quick Latch mounting brackets, effectively adding an extra 24 inches of enclosed area with the tailgate open. Just like the original Bed X-Tender, MOTOXTENDER is made of high strength aluminum tubes and super-strong glass-reinforced composite nylon. It is rugged, durable, and simple to operate. Rotate the extender outward with the tailgate open to secure bikes, motorcycles, ATVs or other long cargo. Fold it forward with the tailgate up, and the MOTOXTENDER creates a convenient enclosed area to keep smaller items such as toolboxes, grocery bags, camping gear, ice chests or tailgate party supplies from sliding around.

A single universal design fits 2004-2009 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, 1987-2009 Dodge Dakota, 1982-2009 Ford Ranger, 1998-2009 Nissan Frontier, 1995-2009 Toyota Tacoma, and 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra.

The AMP Research MOTOXTENDER™ is made in the USA and backed by a 3-year limited warranty. Bestop is a National Distributor of the AMP Research Power Step, BedStep™ and Bed X-Tender™.
