Then I suppose the next question must be....

Is it legit to use these with the tailgate down? How do the BIB deal with this? Any issues or good to go?

Apparently; it is illegal to operate a pick-up truck with the tailgate 'down' on the Kingdom's Highways. You better check with the Transport Department before spending any money, is my advice.

You're legally allowed to carry loads which; project up to 1m behind the truck bed, 3m above it and 0.3m (it maybe 0.5m) either side.

If you took the tailgate off (to be legal) then up 1m of the load would be totally unsupported. So, it would seem reasonable to keep the taigate on in order to support more of the load. But, what is reasonable here?

Not driving around with the tailgate down and insecure due to lack of loading makes sense.

The two rules appear to contradict each other; in part, if not wholly. Only the Land Transport Office are capable of clarifying the requirement. But, yet again!

The gizmo pictured is no so much a bed "extender" as a rigid cargo net.

Take the tailgate off, put a piece of plywood in the bed which extends out to the gizmo pictured. Don't forget the red flag on the back and keep the load covered in on the Chonburi motorway. Should do it.

or do this?
