I bought the seizmik bed extender back when I first put a deposit down for a 21 model. (At the time saved about $100 by going ahead and ordering it) Year later ended up with a 22 PK5 and it fit great on mine. Use it all the time for extra bed space.

That’s weird! All I’ve heard is that it won’t fit on a 2022 Including from the factory. I would really prefer the siezmik except for the price.

The only thing I have a problem with it is using my bed mat, the sides of the extender fit really snug due to the lip of the bed mat when I close the tailgate.
Mounted up just like other model years.

Just purchased and installed the Kemimoto bed extender. And while it folds down you still cant shut the tailgate and have the seats up. During install you have to remove the tailgate briefly. The instructions suck but if you remove the inner rear panel on the driver side you can slide the rear out enough to remove the tailgate. PIA to install but works and looks great. Mine is a 2022

Finally got around to installing the Rough Country bed extender. Overall I think I’ll be happy with it. The directions were a bit vague in some areas and the hardware call outs were not 100% correct but I got it figured out.

Works well folded & unfolded with the rear seats up and down. There will likely be some rattles as mentioned before, but only with the tailgate closed. mainly due to the the cable extender design.
The cables themselves don’t hold any weight with the extender side rails locked in place. The sides lock into the factory cable bolts which makes the cable extension bracket/bar a little floppy with the tailgate closed

It’s probably because they haven’t tested it on a 22 yet, so won’t say it’ll fit, I bet it gets updated to fit at some point by them.

Thanks for the detailed photos and review. I think this will fit my needs well with a nice compact design so I have pulled the trigger and ordered one!

Install tips, you only need to remove the plastic from the bed on the drivers side, the first brackets attached to the tail gate have some wiggle room, make sure the tail gate closes, if not loosen them a bit and adjust to clear the bed. Also, the flange nuts go to the bolts for the clamp brackets (first 8x25 bolts used). And lastly, the tailgate cable uses the stock hardware and the new bolt, washers, etc go on the very bottom where it attaches to the new bracket.

For those that got the Kemimoto bed extender, you can fold it up and use the rear seats if you make some modifications. Personally, I was not happy about the amount of modifications and cursing required to achieve the desired effect. In hindsight, after seeing the Rough County variant of similar cost and what appears to be a design that would fold up as desired, I would have gone with that one.

i emailed Siezmik asking if their bed extender would fit a 2022 1000/5 and they said ‘it should fit just fine!’. Has anyone else heard this?

Do you think a tailgate stiffener will work with the rough country bed extender?

How easily is the extender removed if I choose to only use it on trails and store it at home?
