Hello everyone, im new to this forum just bought me and my wife our first kayaks and i decided to start of using a hitch extender to transport them  while i save up for a bed rack i drive a 2019 Tacoma . My question is when transporting the kayaks i have the hitch extender on and tailgate down wich blocks visibility to my license plate .. anyone here use hitch extender if so have you had any issues getting pulled over?

I used a hitch extender for about 1yr. Never had any issues. I still have my tailgate down with the kayaks sticking out and you really can't see the plate. They don't seem bother with minor issues such as that unless maybe there's something else they need to pull you over with? Lol

I just ordered one myself. No experience yet but what I read was 4’ past bumper needs a flag. Didn’t consider the license but if it’s an issue I’d be looking into a paper license on the side like a new car would come with. After that see about a normal license on a window?  I’ll probably wait and ask the cop that’s writing me up for suggestions.

I do this regularly and have never been pulled over.  Then again, the bay area is lawless.

I got a ticket for the license plate not being visible while 4 bikes were on the back of my FJ, in a speed trap no-name town in Nevada. Never been cited for that in California, and my plate is usually blocked by something hanging off the back.
