Thank you! I ordered my Maverick with the bed extender and I was unsure where the extender straps attach to the tailgate. I googled around looking for instructions but couldn't find anything. Your video had the information I was looking for.
You simply lift up at a 45 degree angle to slide it in and out. Once you lower it down you simply connect the straps to the tailgate latch on both sides
Thanks for showing this. First video I've seen on the extender. I ordered my truck with the extender. (Still waiting on the truck - maybe another 3 weeks) The tie downs and hooks are nice features I didn't know about. 👍
it is to add more stability to the extender instead of just relying on the screws. Not required in my opinion unless you are planning on really throwing it around
Hi Jeremy. Thanks for the video. I found a Maverick in transit that comes with the bed extender but I actually don't want it. If those mounting brackets are removed, then the screws will just fill the holes, right? And did you say the holes are already there for the brackets? I understand the brackets only come with the extender. Thanks.
Yup. The holes are already pre drilled on both sides and you can install the brackets directly. You can remove the taillights and unscrew the brackets if you like.
I don't have first hand knowledge of this extender yet, but extenders I've had in the past for full size pickups were easily removed and installed as needed...no tools. If you don't want the extender, set it aside. You bought it. I recommend keeping it. A 4.5 ft bed is pretty small. Having an almost 6 ft bed will come in handy occasionally.
Thanks for the video. I ordered my Mav with a drop in liner, Ford says you can't get the bed extender with the drop in, but I don't see any reason why not (unless it has to do with being able to install the anchor?)?
I also remember seeing on the Ford website that the bed extender wouldn't work with the drop-in bed liner. I ordered my Maverick without a liner, and I got a LINE-X Premium spray-in liner installed last week. The extender still works just fine. Not sure about the drop-in liner though; maybe it's thicker??
You have a little under 6 ft in total length. Just depends on the total length of your bike. Front tire to back tire. I’d imagine you can turn the wheel to the side to store upright or lay on its side.

how do you disengage the bed extender?
You simply lift up at a 45 degree angle to slide it in and out. Once you lower it down you simply connect the straps to the tailgate latch on both sides
Do you have a drop in or spray in bed liner? Does either work with the installation
This is the factory spray in. This would work with either one. No problem

do you know what the rivets are used for? i didnt get instructions.

Thanks for the video but you should have showed how to install the catch brackets after you remove the tail lights.
Did you put in the rivets in the extender?
same question, not sure where to put them.

Mark, if your looking to get rid of it let me know …. What state are you in?
Keep it, you will love it trust me

Where did you get the flip up tonneau cover, looks super sleek and i have been looking to get one soon for my Maverick.
It’s a BakFlip MX4. Straight from BakFlip
What LED lights did you add in the back of the bed?
It’s the Lumen LED bed lights from the dealer. I think they took them down from the site tho.
Thanks! What kind of cover is that? Did you order it from Ford?

I remember them saying this also. But it’s works perfect. No issues at all
@@jeremyoberbeck2467 Is that a drop in bedliner on yours?
@@illusioncity it’s the Ford spray in liner.

With the extender on the tailgate, can you fit an adult sized bicycle in there, without having I take off the front wheel? Thanks!

What tools did you need to install the bed extender?
Nice battlehawks hoodie kaw kaw
What cover is that?
BakFlip MX4 from BakFlip.com
wish it had used the entire tailgate and not extend the posts above so you have a flat top easier to handle surfboards other items etc
so you can't have the roll up cover if you have the bed extender? that's lame
