ABSTRACT:
A bed extension for use with vehicles equipped with cargo beds. The bed extension is configured to enable oversized cargo to be securely carried on a cargo bed while minimizing the hazards commonly associated with carrying such oversized loads. The bed extension is constructed of struts and/or tubing, including an internal truss arrangement, that promotes the structural rigidity of the extension while contributing minimal weight. When stowed, the bed extension preferably occupies the same space as would a stock tailgate of the vehicle.
