ABSTRACT:
The present invention makes beneficial use of a vehicle's single point box receiver hitch by transferring an underlying frame mount of the box receiver both outward and adjustably upward simultaneously for load transfer at to a load-supporting cross beam in order to provide a two-axis, cantilevered extension for a pickup truck. The extension apparatus when viewed from above is T-shaped and includes two pieces constructed from box iron. One piece is a longitudinal-running box beam welded at an upward cantilever angle to a short stub section. The second piece is T-shaped when viewed from above and it includes a single adjustment telescoping transition beam which serves as the transition from the longitudinal box beam to the load-supporting cross beam that is transversely oriented relative to the longitudinal beam. A second stub is rigidly connected to the cross beam and it is adjustable by being telescoped over the first angled stub.
