A tailgate device includes a tailgate housing with a first longitudinal side pivotably coupled to a distal end of a truck bed. The tailgate housing provides access to the truck bed. The tailgate device also includes an extension assembly carried by the tailgate housing and having a panel having a first panel longitudinal side, a second panel longitudinal side opposite of the first panel longitudinal side, a first panel end between the first and second panel longitudinal sides, and a second panel end opposite the first panel end and between the first and second panel longitudinal sides. The first panel longitudinal side is pivotably coupled to the second longitudinal side of tailgate housing. The extension assembly also includes a first side panel pivotably coupled to the first end of the tailgate housing, and a second side panel pivotably coupled to the second end of the tailgate housing.

A selectively pivotable mid-gate for a vehicle includes a first mid-gate member pivotally mounted to the vehicle through a hinge member and a second mid-gate member is pivotally mounted to the vehicle and the first mid-gate member through the hinge member. A latch system is operatively connected to the first mid-gate member and the second mid-gate member. The latch system is selectively operable to release the first mid-gate member to rotate in a first direction and to release the first mid-gate member and the second mid-gate member to rotate in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.

A platform assembly for a cargo area of a vehicle includes a floor panel and a cover panel. The floor panel includes a main section slidable between a rest position in which the main section is substantially within the cargo area of the vehicle and an extended position in which the main section extends beyond the cargo area of the vehicle. An opening in the floor panel is exposed when the main section is in the extended position. The cover panel is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The cover panel is configured to cover the opening exposed in the floor panel when the main section is in the deployed position.
