Bed extender working clearance
Already have a truxedo bed cover & now looking to get a tailgate extender. When you rotate the extender 180deg (back into the bed) won’t it hit the cover cover rails?
Well, yeah, obviously it would. You would need to raise your bed cover to flip it back, but not, its not going to hit anything after its rotated.
Interestingly my truck came with the bed extender, bed cover, tailgate step, and bed side steps as factory options. I bought it used but figure it must've been a custom order.
Thanks El Barbon. I’ve wondered about this. I read 1 response that mentioned adding side spacers on the brackets. Sounded funny and could mean you have to buy a tube-in-tube style assembly - no thanks.
This is correct. I just removed my OEM bed extender (not sure if I'll ever use it anyway) because while it's angled away from the side of the bed when flipped inward, it blocks the release latches for my bed cover. I have to wrestle it out of the way. So out it came.
