the pickup box for longer loads.

it from the pickup box.

shaft is visible, the bed extender is not locked or properly
secured.
To stow the bed extender, follow Steps 1 through 4 in reverse order.
The bed extender may be used to secure a load of up to 100 lb. (46 kg)

When driving the vehicle off road, the bed extender should be in
the stowed position and the tailgate closed. Failure to stow the
bed extender could cause serious damage to the tailgate and bed
