I have bought and used many of these over the past years and this is by far the easiest to install. It is also the sturdiest, best priced for quality and easiest to remove model available.

search Amazon for Lund bed extender

Good write ups on these extenders.
Does anyone have any clue how they would work with the split tailgates? I wonder how they would mount as the swinging tailgate frame might be in way.
Anyone done it with this extender or indeed any other one?
I
Thanks!

The OEM bed extender came with my 2021 RAM limited. I had to order the bed attachments that would allow me to open the extender and allow it to act as an extender. I bought those off eBay, not too much money. Worked perfectly. It turns out that RAM stop including the attachment hardware due a concern with the NTSB. Seems that when it's open drivers behind you may not see your brake/tail lights at a certain angle.

I have used mine several times without issue and have been very satisfied with it. I would go OEM as the bed extender allows you to use it as a bed stop. I keep mine secured in the bed about two feet in so I can throw groceries in there without them flying all over the bed. As far as I know there are no after market bed extenders that work in both capacities.

I have the AMP Research brand. I have heard they make the one for RAM. I like it a lot. Folded in, it keeps small stuff up by the tailgate from rolling around. Flipped out it extended the bed for hauling Motocross bikes and gear. Tip up at a 45 deg and it pops off when not needed. The RAM beds already have the pre dimpled marks for the mounting brackets. Makes install supper easy.

I have a 2020 Laramie with the multifunction tailgate and use the OEM bed extender all the time. Like someone said above had to buy the installation kit from fleabay for about $20

I’ve got the AMP extender. Super useful, even when flipped when it’s in the bed. Allows a nice barrier between the tailgate, the extender and the rest of the bed contents to not slide around.

And if I need, it easily removes :waytogo:

Id like to chime in with this suggestion

I have a set of these in my truck along with a grabber hook that lays in notches in the storage pocket to double as a slide blocker
