Abstract:
A truck bed extension apparatus can include a hinge assembly having a hinge plate configured to be coupled to a primary tailgate of a pickup. An auxiliary tailgate includes a lower edge pivotally coupled to a front edge of the hinge plate, the auxiliary tailgate being pivotally movable between a stowed configuration co-planar with and adjacent to the hinge plate and a deployed configuration extending upwardly from the hinge plate. A pair of side panels is pivotally coupled to opposed side edges of the auxiliary tailgate and selectively movable between retracted and extended configurations. The hinge assembly can include a limiter configured to limit movement of the hinge assembly to prevent sagging of the auxiliary tailgate when in a stowed configuration.

Claim (Index 10):
The truck bed extension apparatus as in  claim 9 , further comprising:\n a pair of side panels pivotally coupled to opposed side edges of said auxiliary tailgate, respectively, each side panel being selectively movable between a retracted configuration generally co-planar with and bearing against an inside surface of said auxiliary tailgate and an extended configuration generally perpendicular to said inside surface of said auxiliary tailgate; wherein the truck bed is extended and enclosed when the primary tailgate is at the open configuration, said auxiliary tailgate is at said deployed configuration, and said pair of side panels is at said extended configuration.
