ABSTRACT:
An endgate for a pickup truck includes a lower portion movably mountable with respect to the body of the pickup truck. An upper portion of the endgate is movably mounted with respect to the lower portion to selectively alter the height of the endgate for improving access to the cargo bed of the pickup truck. The endgate preferably includes gooseneck hinges to pivotably interconnect the lower portion and the upper portion, and an electric latch and striker to selectively prevent their relative movement.
