A reversible load floor is provided for a motor vehicle. The reversible load floor includes a body having a first user surface and a second user surface wherein the first user surface is opposed to the second user surface.

A trim component for a vehicle interior includes first and second skin layers, a core layer sandwiched between the first and second skin layers with the core layer having first and second sides, a first thermoplastic adhesive material including a polyamide disposed between the first skin layer and the core layer to adhere the first skin layer to the first side of the core layer, and a second thermoplastic adhesive material including a polyamide disposed between the second skin layer and the core layer to adhere the second skin layer to the second side of the core layer.

A multi-panel cover includes end panels that connect first and second lateral panels. The lateral panels seat against the tailgate assembly of a truck body and are maintained in position by magnets incorporated into a lateral panel along the edges and between the side panels to form a pocket to collect debris that may otherwise escape through or around the tailgate of the vehicle. A peripheral sealing material such as an elastic cord or hook and loop seal may be positioned around the tailgate gap to augment sealing.

A cargo area protection system for a vehicle defining a cargo area and comprising a seat assembly has a sheet member and a spreader member. The spreader member is arranged to engage at least a portion of the seat assembly. The sheet member is supported by the spreader member such that at least a supported portion of the sheet member is in a desired position with respect to the cargo area.

Ramp assemblies may include a first ramp member and a second ramp member configured to telescope relative to the first ramp member. The first ramp member may include a first top panel. The second ramp member may include a second top panel, a housing below the second top panel, and a rod coupled to the second top panel with the rod extending from the second top panel into the housing. Methods of making such ramp assemblies, and methods of using such ramp assemblies are also disclosed. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Vehicle tailgate assembly that includes a sill flap and tailgate, where the sill flap has rollers that contact the tailgate while the sill flap and tailgate are opened or closed. The sill flap thus maintains rolling contact with the tailgate during opening and closing operations. In embodiments of the disclosure, the tailgate opens to leave a gap between the edge of the vehicle bed and the edge of the tailgate, and the sill flap is pivoted into this gap. While being pivoted into this open position, the sill flap rollers rotatably contact the tailgate, so that the sill flap maintains rolling contact with the tailgate rather than frictional contact therewith. This prevents damage to the sill flap and tailgate when opened and closed.

An on-road truck body lining for protecting an on-road truck body from wear. The on-road truck body lining includes a plurality of main lining elements and a plurality of edge lining elements. Each main lining element includes a load-facing element having one or more transition sides, each transition side being adapted to meet a corresponding transition side of an adjacent edge lining element. A reinforcement plate having a main portion is fixedly attached to the load-facing element in a stacked configuration and having one or more end portions, each of the one or more end portions protruding out from a transition side of the load-facing element to form a respective flange. In use, the one or more end portions of the reinforcement plate are each arranged to be covered by a respective adjacent edge lining element such that the respective adjacent edge lining element, upon being fixated, clamps the main lining element to the on-road truck body.
