diagonally you prob wouldnt have any trouble.
I know a friend who had a Holden ute he fitted 2 boards and sails in there but i think Holden have now shortened the tray in the newer models

Yeah, Holden have stuffed the tray for us. They have made it so there is room behind the seats in the cab which means you loose some length in the tray. I used to fit a 250 wave board under the hard cover on a VY Holden ute no worries.

I don't know if I can actually part with it. We'll see.

Based on that, corner to corner on the single cab is 2800mm and on the xtra cab is 2400mm

Thanks Maths Man!
I couldn't find the dimensions for the tray, on the single cab specifically. All they listed was " - ", which was weird for a ute.

Hmm, so will fit everything nicely

just drive around with the boards pokin out the back..

much cooler


KA181 stacks about 243 boards on his ute

Is that in Aus? I doubt it will pass ADR requirements like that, especially safety issues (airbags sensors etc)

Yeah that looks like the back of a Toyota Tundra, of which there are only a few imports in Australia (and usually cost in the vacinity of $80+K over here).

There were a couple of places selling bed extenders, I remember seeing them on the Nissan site when i was looking at buying a Navara and a company called JHP used to sell them for Holden utes, however no one seems to any more. I assume there are some ADR issues with them. There is usually issues with not having a bumper bar being the furthest forward or rearward part of a vehicle so that may be the reason.

We've driven around with the ute tail gate down like that every now and again with solid sleepers or the like. As long as you strapt it in properly it should be okay..... i think ha ha.

Here's a REAL Hilux Tray and it takes copious quantities of gear
