RealTruck BedXTender HD Max | 74842-01A | Fits 2019 - 2023 Ford Ranger Standard Cab

Looks great, easy to setup, just what I wanted. Installed in a 2020 Ford Ranger with factory installed bedliner. The tip to use a M6x1 Tap to clean out the threads worked great, couldn’t have installed it otherwise.

Videos I have seen for this product said it works with tonneau covers. Installed it on my truck and then installed the tonneau cover. With the rails in place for the cover, this extender cannot be rotated. Can't even be rotated enough to remove it. The problem is with the slam latch catches. They stick too far out to the side. I was really hoping to be able to use these together for groceries and other cargo management. I simply have to choose one or the other unfortunately. I choose the tonneau cover. I need the security more than anything. I can rig up something else to keep everything from sliding around. This is going back to Amazon.UPDATE: I was able to modify this to work with my tonneau cover. I put 1" spacers behind each of the brackets and then made the whole thing narrower so it would clear the slam latch catches on my tonneau cover rails. I had to buy longer bolts to do this as well as the spacers and had to trim 1" from each end of the three center rails because they were too long to adjust enough as they were. Anyway, it works now. I changed my rating from 2 stars to 3 now that it works. I would change it to 4 stars if the proper spacers and hardware were available from the manufacturer instead of having to fabricate something myself.

Bought this and was worried how it would work with factory bedliner and after market bed cover. The only issue us the bed cover release mechanism is a little hard to get to because it is blocked by the side of the bed extender. You can see it in the pictures I have attached. Had to drill two holes in bedliner on each side so the bolts could pass but they are covered by the two washers so there is room for error. Make sure u tape off the center tubes 7 inches from each end so it makes line up easier. Other than that no issues. Not sure how everyone was complaining about there bolts breaking because the threaded holes were fine. I can only guess that they went in at an angle or the threads were bad for some reason. Was also worried that the full size bed extender might not flip over due to wheel well on bedliner but that was no issue either.

Great fit and easy to install. If you have a spray in or factory spray in liner get yourself a metric M6 x 1 tap to clean threads. It fits under BAKFLIP MX4 too.

This seems expensive but in reality adds functionality to mid size trucks. I've got a SuperCrew Ranger which was a practical upgrade to the sedan we replaced but still compromises in bed size. Flipped into the bed it keeps large objects from moving around and potentially damaged. When you occasionally need length for bigger items it is a huge help. Installation is not difficult - if you can assemble typical furniture this is easy. If your truck has a plastic liner you will have to cut holes to access the factory threads (no drilling needed) or if you've got spray in bed liner you'll need to use a thread tap to clean them out first.

This fit perfectly in the back of a 2019 Ranger, as stated. The install was easy, less than 25 min. I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loved it. He had to buy a special tool to cut through the spray-in bed liner to get to the holes for the bolts, but he said it was easy and didn't take much extra time. Once it's installed, it just flips into the bed when not in use, so you don't have to remove it every time you aren't using it. It's a nice, sturdy item that appears to be well made, and worth the price.

## READ THIS IF YOUR TRUCK HAS A SPRAY BED LINER!!!!!! ####A few other reviews mentioned this problem but unfortunately I didn't see it before attempting my installation.If your truck has a spray bed liner you will need to clean out the threads with a tap before attempting to install this. Otherwise you'll need so much force to get the bolts in that they will snap.I saw some folks blaming this on cheap materials from the product. Not the case - the bolts they provide are perfectly fine as long as the threading on your truck is clean.I will say that the manufacturer could probably put a specific warning about it in their packaging - maybe they did but I didn't see it.

Don't ruin your brand new truck with this bed extender. Bolt broke off halfway into installation with hand cranking. Broke like it was made of clay.Now I have hundreds of dollars of repairs to fish out the bolt in the truck bed on a brand new truck. Save your money.!Like the other negative review, this is a poor quality kit.
