I just purchased and installed the Ford tailgate extender. I really like the way the mounts bolt into the threaded holes (no drilling into the bed). You do have to drill holes in the top and bottom horizontal bars and then install the supplied rivets. This is a bit of a pain but it’s not too bad. An inexpensive Harbor Freight rivet gun did the trick. Do be aware that the two vertical plastic pieces join the slightly different sized horizontal pieces (take a close look at the inside of the vertical plastic pieces so that you install them properly). Also, be aware that the two plastic vertical pieces hide both the rivets and the joints where the horizontal sections meet. What‘s really clever about the Ford unit is that, with the remote tailgate lock engaged and the unit folded in, it can’t be stolen. I highly recommend this tailgate extender over the “one size fits all“ units for your G6.

Have the oem Ford bed extender and also did in my 2024. They both worked great! I use it all of the time. Easy to remove when not needed too.

I know I cant fold the extender in and use it with my swing case, but I wonder if both can be used while the extender is on the open tailgate? hmmmm

I transferred an AMP bed extender from a 2018 F150. You do have to slide the tubes together - you don’t have to cut them. In the F150 you could get ni drill brackets that mount to existing threaded holes. This brackets don’t fit Rangers. (The Raptor extender comes with brackets that the Ranger holes but were not available when i wanted them - AMP‘s price for the F150 brackets was $60). AMP and at least one truck accessory place said the bed extender won’t fit , but they were wrong.
