ABSTRACT:
A tailgate for an open bed truck is provided in the form of a tubular grate, with openings between tubes to allow wind to flow through the tailgate even when it is closed, improving fuel economy. The openings provide defined passages in which long articles can be supported, and an optional solid panel can be secured to the front face of the tailgate to retain loose loads.
