MY dealer charged me $300 which is what the salesman said he had to pay for it. Great for carrying groceries when flipped backwards, breaks in the middle, and folds giving access to the bed. Plus I always carry it around, stowed.

 

Just to follow up, I received and installed the bed extender and it went in over the LineX without any problem. I didn't have to dremel away any of the LineX. I used an impact driver and it drove the bolts right through.

 

I just took delivery of my truck last week and it looks like the stowable bed extender is fastened by a Torx (star) screw on each side. I'd like to be able to remove the extender when hauling various loads that may damage it (e.g., stones/rocks). I don't have a Torx screwdriver set, but it looks like it is larger than T40 (which is the largest I've been able to find so far). Does anyone know the exact size of the screw? It looks like it may be T50 but I'd like to be sure before I buy a Torx screwdriver off the internet so I know it's the correct size.

 

It's a T50. Proper torque is 41 lb-ft (55 Nm).

 

Has anyone used the bed extender with a drop in liner?

 

The Ford drop-in bed liner has all the provisions built into it to accept the extender. At least that's how it is on my '10.

 

Here you go.

 

Thanks guys; I do have the Ford drop in bed liner. hemigod I got my truck at Kennedy in Sanatoga...

 

I got mine at Kennedy in Conshohocken. They drove it down from Sanatoga for me. There aren't very many F150onliners around this immediate area, nice to know you're around.

 

Cool and likewise!

 

Mine is installed over Line-X. One concern as is shown in your picture: the two side handles don't lock in all the way; about 1/4" of red shows. I think this is due to the added height of the Line-X or liner and the rubber feet keep the extender rotated up slightly more, not allowing the side handles to lock in completely.

Anyone have a fix for this? An easy way to shave a little of the rubber feet? Suggestions? Thanks.

 

I have Line-X and the Ford rubber bed mat. I just slammed those pins in and out a few times and now they're fine.

 

I banged on the handles and pins too but pin won't seat/lock all the way. I'll try slamming them a little harder. The extender seems to be locked in place but the red shows from the pins. Concerned a little about water getting inside of them too.

So you added the rubber bed mat after getting the Line-X done? Do you like that? Sounds like a good idea. Not sure which mat to get. Is the Ford one expensive? where to get?

 

I had to get a little rough with the pins the first few times. If fact, I ended up kicking them into place while standing in the bed. But, I won and they work very well now.

The bed mat is great on the Line-X because it gives a soft, non-slip surface and can of course be easily removed if needed. It's good for carrying stuff like wood furniture that you don't want scratched by the Line-X surface. Plus, the bed extender prevents the mat from being stolen with the tailgate locked since it clamps it to the floor.

The bed mat was $150 from the Ford dealer.

Here are some pics I just took...

 

Same here. I gave them a good smack and they go in and out easily now.
