ABSTRACT:
A wind deflector for dispersing the wind out of the truck bed of a pickup truck includes a top plate a first panel hingedly connected to the top plate and a second panel hingedly connected to the first panel. The top plate is fixedly mounted on the tailgate of the pickup truck by a pair of bolts and pair of locking knobs are mounted on the second panel for removably securing the second panel to either the tailgate, or the floor of the truck bed. When the wind deflector is secured to the floor of the truck bed, the wind deflector serves to deflect away air that would normally hit up against the tailgate when the truck is moving. At the same time, the space between wind deflector and tailgate can be used as a storage compartment.
