Who needs a 8’ bed? Had to bring these 10’ PVC pipes home in a trailer 2 month ago. Took them back to return in the truck!

Honestly you could have gotten away with just strapping them down well without the hitch carrier. But you point rings true, with good planning the Maverick bed is plenty capable.

I can't tell if your Mav has a sliding rear window. With a sliding rear window I can put small quantities of 10' PVC or 2x4's through the window and just about a foot sticks over the tailgate. Cinch down using the built-in "D" rings. But your extender is a nice setup.

Ten feet is a good limit for lumber with tailgate down. Tie down to ring at the back and use a red flag. 2x12 and 2x6’s x 10

So this begs the question. Does the hitch extension count as an extension of the vehicle and therefore mean that the law only applies to stuff overhanging after it ends?
This is a good question. I error on the side of safety and rigged up a pair of taillights w/4pin and mounted it to the extension crossbar. Better safe than sorry.

It does but I had found this extension at the discount store the day before and wanted to try it. :)
