According to the CHP. Your kayak cannot extent more than half the length of the vehicle that you are using. In other words, if your truck is 16 ft. long (not including the bumpers) the yak can extend 8 ft from the end of the bed, not counting the tailgate. I went down to their office and checked when I got my T-13. Also you must have a red light onthe back of the yak at nightr and a red flag during the day. The use of a bed extender does not let you stick out any further. I used to use one but got tired of it dragging on the ground everytime I hit a bump or go over a dip. Now I just attached a pool noodle to the tailgate for protection and tie it to the truck.
