ABSTRACT:
The tailgate on a conventional pickup truck is provided with a plurality of vanes which pivot about their respective horizontal axes. Air pressure buildup in the pickup bed causes the vanes to pivot about the axis thereby relieving the air pressure buildup. The louvered vanes also provide for improved rearward vision from the cab of the pickup and are especially useful for trailer hookups.
