TRUCK BED DIVIDERS WITH RETRACTABLE DIVIDER EXTENSIONS
DRIVE
August 15, 2024
A truck includes a passenger cabin and a truck bed located rearward of the passenger cabin in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The truck bed includes a bed deck, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a first wheel well adjacent the first sidewall and a second wheel well adjacent the second sidewall. A bed divider extends in a vehicle lateral direction. The bed divider includes a main body that has a wheel well opening that is sized and arranged to receive the first wheel well therethrough. A divider extension is moveable relative to the main body and covers the wheel well opening in an extended configuration. The divider extension includes a projection that rides along a guide that extends along the first sidewall and over the first wheel well of the truck bed in order to move the divider extension between the extended configuration and a retracted configuration providing increased clearance for the first wheel well relative to the extended configuration as the bed divider is moved in the vehicle longitudinal direction along the truck bed.
