this is my first one, because all my previous trucks had 6 foot beds. honestly, I rarely use my truck for Hauling and stuff, but sometimes I'll stack stuff up over the top of the cab with stuff, or bring some long pieces of lumber home, two by tens and such. With the cover though it provides a nice space for groceries or something else that you can have not rolling around in the bed. So that way it'll get used and then when I need a 6 foot bed it's there as well.Curious, obviously you guys think having a bed extender is important and it looks great. But do you use it much? I had one in my 2004 F150 that I moved to my 07 and left in my 10 when I traded it in for my RANGER. It seemed to be more in the way and taken out and left in the garage than I actually used it.
