In addition to the AMP Research Power Step and BedStep™, Bestop has now added the AMP Research Bed X-Tender˛ to their Jeep and truck products mix. The AMP Research Bed X-Tender, the original truck bed extender, first introduced in 1997, has proven to be one of the most popular and useful accessories ever developed for pickup trucks. Originally designed to keep motorcycles and associated gear in the truck bed and off the highway, today this patented product is now found on over 2.5 million domestic and import pickup trucks. Made from high strength aluminum, the Bed X-Tender installs easily in minutes, effectively turning a short bed into a long bed by adding 18” with the tailgate open. With a durable black powder coat finish, the Bed X-Tender is rugged, durable, and simple to operate. Rotate outward with the tailgate open to secure bikes, motorcycles, ATVs or garden supplies, building material or other long cargo. Fold forward with the tailgate up, and the Bed X-Tender creates a convenient enclosed area to keep smaller items such as toolboxes, grocery bags, camping gear, ice chests or tailgate party paraphernalia from sliding around. The AMP Research BedStep, introduced a year ago, is the first rear mounted bumper step that works with the tailgate open or closed. Developed with a spring-loaded cam that easily deploys with one nudge of your foot, it supports up to 300 lbs. When not in use, it stows rattle free under the bumper, leaving the trailer hitch free for towing, or for use with hitch-mounted accessories. Power-deploying AMP Research Power Step running boards are readily available for most late model trucks including the latest generation Tundra. Made of high-strength extruded aluminum and manufactured with die-cast machined aluminum linkage assemblies and a black anodized/powder coat finish for consistent long-term use even in extreme driving conditions. Rated for loads up to 600 lbs., the AMP Power Step employs a heavy-duty drive system and integrated anti-pinch technology. All three AMP Research truck products are made in the USA and are backed by a three-year limited warranty.
