 Darby 944 Truck Bed Extender August 3, 2008
This item is saving my kayaking experiences this summer and all summers
to come! No more lifting heavy kayaks on top of my car roof!!! I use this on my Subaru Outback and just love,love love it! So easy to use!
I saw a woman at a kayak launching spot with one on her mini-SUV and had to ask her about it! Seems she has been turning friends (and strangers!) onto it since she got hers just by them seeing it in use! And now I will be following suit! EVERY kayak shop should carry these...Thank you for this awesome helper!
Was all I'd hoped for July 31, 2008
We have a 4 door pick up with a 5 1/2 foot bed. We own two canoes, one is 15 feet long and the other is 17 feet long. For years we have put them on top of the truck which made it difficult to reach and limited us to using only one at a time, or we had to borrow other peoples trailers. We looked at purchasing a small trailer, but they are so expensive we couldn't justify the money. Then we saw the Darby 944 Extend-A-Truck extender, so we ordered it. We are pleased with the quality of the product as it is made of heavy steel and very sturdy. We have used it several times and are thrilled with the fact that we can now haul both our canoes and they're at waist level which makes them easier to maneuver. We find that with just a few straps, especially on the sides, that both canoes ride piggy-back on the extender and are very secure with very little movement. We also purchased a small light to clip onto the end of the canoes in case we find ourselves traveling in the dark. We love how easy it is to adjust, remove and store. We are very happy with the Extend-A-Truck. We give it an A+.

I bought this for my father and he loves it. It was delivered quickly and was easy to assemble.
Darby 944 Extend-A-Truck is AWESOME! July 24, 2008
Got this for my son's canoe which is 16 ft. 4 inches long. I have a 2005 four door Tundra which would hold only about a third of the canoe. With this extender and a red flag which comes with it I can haul my canoe anywhere with relative ease. The only con to this product is that since the extender (which goes out 4 feet) is only connected to the truck with a 4 inch hitch type coupling it is a little wobbly. Not lose the canoe wobbly but just not totally tight. I just use a couple of bungie cords and everthing is right as rain. Thanks Darby and Amazon for offering just want I needed when I needed it.

This product fit on my truck, but it rattles quite a bit. You need to do a really good job of securing it to feel comfortable. Haven't actually used it yet because I'm just not sure if it will actually hold the kayak. My opinion could change once I use it.
