ABSTRACT:
A vehicle includes a body defining a vehicle interior and a cargo bed, and a reversible bulkhead assembly that is positioned between the interior and the cargo bed. The bulkhead rotates with respect to the vehicle body to alternately provide a first cargo bed configuration and a different second cargo bed configuration. A concave side of the bulkhead is rotated adjacently to the vehicle interior to decrease the length of the cargo bed and increase the size of the vehicle interior in one configuration, and adjacently to the cargo bed to increase the length of the cargo bed while decreasing the size of the vehicle interior in another configuration. An optional pivoting mechanism can slow the rotation of the bulkhead, and can also or alternately prevent rotation of the bulkhead in one direction to facilitate repositioning of the bulkhead between the two positions.
