Abstract: A pickup truck bed extender consisting of two extendable side braces and an extender tailgate. The side braces are fabricated from two separate telescoping pieces adjustable for length so as to universally fit a variety of pickup trucks whether compact or full size. Each side brace bolts to the inner side of the pickup bed at a corner post. Each corner post features a square peg on the top and bottom that mates to square slots on the braces, and a latch pin secures side braces together by thrusting the pin downward through the holes in the adjoined braces and posts. The extender tailgate connects the two braces and may be adjustable in width in the same manner as the side units. A pair of side mounted support cables with quick release pins are used to prevent the extender tailgate from going past the horizontal position when opening. An extender flap could pivot from the extender tailgate, but would pivot in the forward direction to provide a floor surface when the existing tailgate is not long enough.
