The one I got at Harbor Freight for about $25, it is 49" wide. Hope that helps

Its more of a matter of 2 kayaks fitting in the bed of your truck side by side.

I use the Bed Extender to haul boats to the freight office all the time. Most if had in my Tacoma is 6. Its all about how you fit them in there.

True.
I've done 4 in the back of my S-10, and that's not a huge bed (6ft).

The trick really is how you stack them. Like taco shells, laying on their sides at a 45 degree angle, like mating grunion.
Or Pringles.
You get the idea.
A bed extender should really help though.

Good luck, welcome to the board.

I have a Ford F250 with a bed extender. Two kayaks fit fine.
