How Cal Haul Turns a Four-Foot Truck Bed Into a Six-Foot Hauling Machine
The innovative bed extender that's changing the way compact truck owners think about cargo.
Compact pickup trucks are among the most popular vehicles on the road today. They offer a perfect balance of everyday drivability and weekend utility. But there's one persistent problem that every compact truck owner knows all too well: the bed is just too short. With beds typically ranging from four to eight feet, hauling long items like lumber, pipes, ladders, or sporting gear becomes a real challenge. Many drivers end up leaving their tailgate open, strapping items down precariously, or resorting to dangerous workarounds that risk safety and violate road regulations.
The alternatives aren't much better. Roof racks are expensive and awkward to load. Trailers require a hitch, storage space, and add significant cost. Making multiple trips wastes time, fuel, and money. For the weekend warrior or the professional contractor who relies on a compact truck, these limitations can turn a simple project into a logistical headache.
That's exactly the problem that inventor Cal Lind of Rainer, Washington set out to solve. Cal knew there had to be a better way — and he found it in an overlooked space that exists in virtually every compact pickup truck: the area beneath the rear seats. His invention, Cal Haul, is an innovative bed extender that harnesses this unused space, allowing users to safely transport items up to six feet long inside a four-foot truck bed, all without any extra accessories, modifications, or compromises to passenger comfort.
- Innovative Design: Cal Haul utilizes the unused space beneath rear seats to extend your truck's effective hauling length by up to two additional feet.
- No Extra Accessories: Unlike roof racks, trailers, or aftermarket bed extenders, Cal Haul requires no additional purchases or permanent modifications to your truck.
- Safety First: By keeping the tailgate closed and items secured inside the cab-to-bed channel, Cal Haul ensures full regulatory compliance and eliminates the dangers of open-bed hauling.
- Universal Compatibility: Cal Haul is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing compact pickup truck models, maintaining passenger comfort and vehicle functionality.
- Market Ready: Cal Haul is patent pending, fully engineered, and has a working prototype available for demonstration. It's ready for manufacturing, retail, wholesale, distribution, or licensing partnerships.
What makes Cal Haul truly special is its simplicity. There are no complex installation procedures, no permanent vehicle alterations, and no trade-offs between passenger space and hauling capacity. It's a solution that works with your truck, not against it. For today's compact pickup owners who demand more from their vehicles, Cal Haul delivers — turning a limitation into an opportunity.
