AMP Research BedXtender HD Sport — Official Truck Bed Extender
Our BedXtender HD Sport takes truck bed versatility to the next level. When your tailgate is down, this extender creates a secure, enclosed cargo area that keeps bikes, kayaks, lumber, and ladders from sliding out during transport. The patented design flips in and out of your bed in seconds without tools, giving you instant access to nearly two feet of additional protected load space.
We engineered the HD Sport with aircraft-grade aluminum construction that stands up to serious hauling while staying light enough for one-person operation. The powder-coated silver finish resists corrosion from road salt, mud, and weather. Whether you're heading to the trail, the job site, or the hardware store, the AMP Research BedXtender HD Sport adapts to whatever you're carrying.
What makes the HD Sport unique
Aircraft-Grade Construction Built for Heavy Use
We manufacture the BedXtender HD Sport from aircraft-grade aluminum tubing that delivers exceptional strength without the weight penalty of steel. The powder-coated silver finish isn’t just for looks — it creates a corrosion-resistant barrier that protects against road salt, UV exposure, and the scratches that come with daily hauling.
Every weld point is inspected at our California facility before shipping. The frame geometry distributes load stress across the entire structure, which is why we confidently rate it for 500 pounds of cargo. That’s enough capacity to haul multiple mountain bikes, a full sheet of plywood, or a dozen 2x4s without worrying about frame flex or failure.
Three Positions for Maximum Versatility
The amp research bedxtender hd sport operates in three configurations that adapt to whatever you’re hauling. With your tailgate lowered, flip the extender out to create nearly two feet of protected cargo space — perfect for long items like kayaks, ladders, or surfboards that would otherwise hang dangerously off the back.
Tailgate-Up Storage
When you need to secure your bed with the tailgate raised, simply flip the BedXtender inward. It creates a barrier that keeps smaller cargo from sliding toward the cab during hard braking or rough terrain. This position is ideal for groceries, sports equipment, or toolboxes that need containment but don’t require the full bed length.
Installation and Compatibility
We designed the BedXtender HD Sport to install without drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications to your truck. The mounting system uses your existing bed stake pocket holes and takes less than a minute to secure. Two quick-release pins lock the frame in place, and the same pins allow instant removal when you need full bed access.
The extender fits most full-size trucks with bed lengths from 5.5 feet to 8 feet, including Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan models. It’s compatible with drop-in bed liners, spray-in liners, and most soft or hard tonneau covers. If you’re comparing heavy-duty options, our BedXtender HD Max uses the same quick-mount system but adds reinforced corner bracing for extreme loads up to 750 pounds.

BedXtender HD Sport Questions
The BedXtender HD Sport fits most full-size trucks with bed lengths between 5.5 feet and 8 feet. This includes Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan models.
The mounting system uses your truck's existing stake pocket holes, so compatibility depends on having standard stake pockets along both bed rails. If you're unsure about your specific year and model, our customer service team can verify fitment before you order.
We rate the amp research bedxtender hd sport for 500 pounds of evenly distributed cargo. That's enough capacity for multiple bikes, kayaks, lumber, ladders, camping gear, or construction materials.
For optimal performance, center heavy loads over your truck's rear axle rather than concentrating all the weight at the very end of the extender. Always secure cargo with ratchet straps or bungee cords attached to the frame.
No tools are required for installation or removal. The BedXtender HD Sport uses a quick-release pin system that locks into your truck's stake pocket holes. Most users complete the first install in under five minutes, and subsequent installations take about 30 seconds once you're familiar with the process.
The same quick-release pins allow instant removal when you need full bed access. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications are required.
Yes, the amp research bedxtender hd sport is compatible with most soft and hard tonneau covers. When folded flat against the cab, the extender's low profile won't interfere with tonneau operation or block your rear window.
For roll-up or folding covers, simply retract the cover before flipping the extender into position. If you have a specific tonneau brand or model, we can confirm compatibility before purchase.
The BedXtender HD Sport features aircraft-grade aluminum construction with a 500-lb load capacity, making it ideal for bikes, kayaks, lumber, and general cargo. The HD Max adds reinforced corner bracing and heavier-duty tubing for a 750-lb capacity, designed for extreme loads like motorcycles, ATVs, or commercial equipment.
Both versions use the same tool-free mounting system and three-position design. Choose the HD Sport for everyday hauling and weekend recreation, or upgrade to the HD Max if you regularly transport motorized equipment or extremely heavy materials.
The powder-coated finish requires minimal maintenance. Rinse the frame with fresh water after exposure to road salt or beach sand to prevent mineral buildup. Apply a light coat of silicone spray to the quick-release pins twice a year to keep them operating smoothly.
Inspect the finish annually for chips or scratches and touch up with color-matched paint to prevent corrosion. The powder coating is extremely durable, and most users see minimal wear even after years of heavy use.
