A multipurpose vehicle includes a cargo bed including a floor panel 22 and a rear gate 24 supported to be swingable between a closed state, in which the rear gate 24 is at a vertical position with respect to the floor panel 22, and an open state, in which the rear gate 24 has swung rearward of the floor panel 22; and a holding mechanism configured to be manually operable to enter a holding state, in which the holding mechanism holds the rear gate 24 at a first angle that is a predetermined swing angle, and a holding canceled state. The cargo bed further includes a restriction mechanism 40 configured to, while the holding mechanism is in the holding canceled state, keep the rear gate 24 from swinging toward the open state by more than a second angle that is a swing angle larger than the first angle.

A truck bed height extension assembly for a pickup truck includes a truck bed and a pair of side panels. The truck bed includes a floor and a pair of spaced apart sidewalls. Each of the pair of spaced apart sidewalls includes an exterior wall, an opposite interior wall, and an elongated cavity positioned between the exterior wall and the interior wall of each of the pair of sidewalls. The pair of side panels are linearly displaceable in a vehicle vertical direction between a retracted position and an extended position. In the retracted position, each of the pair of side panels are positioned within the elongated cavity defined in each of the pair of sidewalls. In the extended position, each of the pair of side panels are positioned to extended at least partially outside of the elongated cavity of each of the pair of sidewalls.

A vehicle includes a body structure defining a passenger compartment and a cargo compartment. A first roof panel is disposed over at least part of the passenger compartment and a second roof panel is disposed over at least part of the cargo compartment. A plurality of side panels surround at least the cargo compartment. A plurality of extensions are fixed to the second roof panel and coupled to the side panels. The extensions and the second roof panel are movable relative to the first roof panel and the side panels between a pre-assembled position and a final-assembled position. The second roof panel is disposed closer to the side panels when in the pre-assembled position than when in the final-assembled position. A method of manufacturing the vehicle includes providing the body structure, fixing a plurality of extensions to the second roof panel and coupling the extensions to the side panels.

A vehicle includes a cab portion, a cargo portion, and a panel arranged separating the cab portion from the cargo portion and extending vertically from a floor of the vehicle. The panel is configured to move in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle to vary a size of the cargo portion. The panel includes a first portion extending vertically upwardly from the floor towards a roof and defining a gap therebetween, and a second portion configured to selectively cover the gap and adapted to be arranged at a first position and a second position. In the first position, the second portion extends vertically from the first portion to cover the gap, and in the second position, the second portion is arranged away from the gap.
