Irvine, CA (March 15, 2007)… There is no question, the BED X-TENDER™ from AMP Research is one of the most popular and useful accessories ever developed for pickup trucks. Originally designed to keep motorcycles and associated gear in the truck bed and off the highway, this unique product provides a host of benefits for anyone with a pickup.

Easily installed in a matter of minutes, the BED X-TENDER effectively turns a short bed into a long bed by adding 18” with the tailgate open. Made of lightweight, high-strength 1.5” diameter aluminum, in an aluminum and now black powder coat finish,  this product is both rugged and durable, simple to use, and will probably out live your truck. Operation couldn’t be easier. Simply open your tailgate and flip the BED X-TENDER out until the rubber stops land on the tailgate. To remove from the truck, rotate the BED-XTENDER  90°and lift out. If you are hauling a motorcycle and the fender of your bike prevents full rotation, a pair of spring-loaded latches allow you to remove or install at any angle. If by chance all you need is to keep the groceries, camping gear, gas cans, ice chests, tailgate party paraphernalia, tool chests, etc., from sliding around, leave the tailgate closed with the BED X-TENDER folded forward and you are provided with a secure containment area where your goodies can be set in place.

The unit is compatible with all popular tonneau covers, making for a convenient bed divider. A must have item for any work or play pickup, BED X-TENDER is available for virtually any pickup model. For availability, check with your OEM truck dealer or truck accessory retailer. For the dealer nearest you, call 1-888-983-2206 or visit www.amp-research.com http://www.amp-research.com/.
