ABSTRACT:
A substantially planar, substantially rectangular wind deflector including an extendable portion is pivotally attached to a truck. The deflector includes an extendable portion and is configured and arranged to extend between a top edge of a tailgate and a bed when the extendable portion is in an extended position, forming an inclined surface over which air flows when such a vehicle is in forward motion. The tailgate or the bed may alternatively include a recess therein to receive the deflector in a non-deployed position.
