Polaris XPEDITION XP/5 Fixed Bed Extender

The DRT Motorsports Fixed Bed Extender replaces the factory tailgate on the 2024+ Polaris XPEDITION XP/5 with a rigid tubular steel structure that opens up the bed floor for real cargo capacity. The layout accommodates a spare tire up to 35 inches mounted flat on the bed floor — the single biggest space problem on an overland XPEDITION build — while keeping a clean, factory-inspired look.

Construction is precision CNC laser-cut, formed, and welded steel finished in a fine sand-textured black powder coat. It mounts using the factory lower tailgate locations plus dedicated upper bed-side brackets, and ships with alloy steel hardware and stainless-steel retaining pins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace the factory tailgate?

Yes. The Fixed Bed Extender takes the place of the stock tailgate with a fixed tubular steel structure. That's what frees up the additional bed storage area and lets a large spare sit flat on the bed floor.

Will a 35-inch spare really fit?

Yes — the extender is laid out specifically so a tire up to 35" mounts flat on the bed floor rather than eating vertical cargo space or riding on a rear carrier.

Does it fit the XPEDITION ADV or ADV5?

No. This is built for the 2024+ XPEDITION XP/5 bed configuration. The ADV models have a different rear layout — reach out before ordering for that platform.

Is it compatible with the DRT rear bumper and camera kit?

Yes. It's fully compatible with the DRT Motorsports Polaris XPEDITION Rear Bumper, and it includes a dedicated mounting location for the DRT Adjustable Rear Camera Relocation Kit, sold separately.

Does installation require drilling?

No. It mounts to the factory lower tailgate locations and dedicated upper bed-side brackets, using the supplied alloy steel hardware and stainless retaining pins.

Can I paint or powder coat it?

Yes. The steel structure takes paint or powder coat well if you'd rather match it to your build than run the standard sand-textured black.

Why DRT Motorsports

DRT Motorsports builds Polaris XPEDITION-specific cargo and protection systems that work together rather than fighting each other. The Fixed Bed Extender is designed alongside DRT's rear bumper, tire carrier, chase rack, and camera relocation kit, so the pieces share mounting points and finish instead of forcing compromises. Welded steel, sand-textured powder coat, and factory mounting locations — built for overland loads and desert miles.
