Pickup Bed Extender Adds 2 Ft. To Box PICKUPS Accessories 28-4-19 Tired of not having enough space in his pickup to carry supplies, Mark Straschewski, a contractor, simply extended the bed.
His pickup "bed extender" is made of aluminum panels that add 24 in. in length to the truck box and fold back flush against the tailgate when not in use.
The extender nests on top of the truck's tailgate.
Auburn Metal Fab owner Sam Segesta, who manufactures the extender, says it costs $350 plus S&H.
Segesta says the only similar product on the market is a tubular extender which adds length but is open between the tubes so loose cargo can fall out. This solid-sided extender is also a lot stronger, he says.
Although Straschewski has had the patent for longer than a year, manufacturing didn't begin until about two months ago. "It's brand new," Segesta says, noting that he needs to know the make and model of pickup before building.
