Solution to the tailgate extender problem!

[NASSTY]

Does anyone make this style bed extender for the 2024 Ranger? I had this OEM extender in my 2017 and 2020 F150 Raptors.

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.

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.

Can’t believe no one has asked you to make them a set (would you and how much?)

So unfortunately it looks like the extender in the original post has gone out of stock and hasn't come back in several weeks (I've been watching it). I don't really like the Vevor model as it looks to only be 21" in depth instead of 24", which means it doesn't quite reach to the end of the tailgate. Has anyone else found a similar part?

I found this unit on Amazon that looks pretty similar if not identical to the one from OP, but by a slim chance has anyone tried one?

I ended up putting the extender from my previous post on my xmas list and got it (was only $100 during the holiday sales), so I can confirm it does fit. Seems it's no longer available now though (but the one from the OP is back in stock, so /shrug). Least we have another option I suppose.

It does look a little shallower than the one from the OP, but it fits nicely with the quad fold tonneau (if it was longer I think it would hit), so I'm happy with it.

And thank you @Alaska Steve for the template! came in super handy making the adapter plate.

I used a nissan one in my old ranger. The center tubes slide and can be removed and cut ro size so that is what i did. And yhen bought a set of the brackets from amp research to put on the bedside tp slide the extender on so it would sit in place.

You cam get nissan titan and frontier bed extenders for 50 bucks on market place and the amp research brCkets are on amazon and ebay for 15-20 bucks.


I use the heck out of it on my 04 ranger. I keep it flipped in and it keeps everything from sliding for ward in the bed under the tonneau cover.

I havne tput the spare one from the garahe on my 24 ranger yet because i use that musology tailgate net to hold so much stuff
