Tacoma Bed Extender Question

[stevie951]

the civic is no more, I'm likely looking at a newer tacoma.. I got my 14 footer and 13 footer kayak, am I going to need a T-bone bed extender to safely transport or do they usually fit snug in the bed? & same with a PA, can it be safely strapped in the bed w/out an extender?

All this is preliminary but i'm just starting off the search so i figured I'd start here as My 14' civic took me from Malibu to Mako Bob's with my thule roof rack but all good things must come to an end

Still have the Thule rack so may stick with a small compact and continue with the good gas mileage, or may just say fuck it and get my little baja traveler now while I have the chance...

if you have any other suggestions on make and model it would be appreciated; simply looking for convenience along with the best gas mileage (I know tacomas aren't the best on gas but I'm willing to bite that bullet)
