Abstract: An access door for a vehicle including an open bed assembly including a front wall, two side walls and a rear wall. A door portion on one of the side walls of the liftgate opening on a substantially vertical hinged axis for providing side access to the truck bed.

Abstract: An automobile panel that are formed using at least partially using a pultrusion forming process. Examples of automobile panels formed using pultrusion include, but are not limited to tail gates, roofs, hatches, doors, hoods, bed liners, floor liners, bed steps, running boards, bumper covers etc. The automobile panel includes a pultruded core panel formed of a polymer resin material having continuous fibers extending across a length of the pultruded core panel, wherein the pultruded core panel has a plurality of channels extending across a surface of the pultruded core panel, wherein the channels have openings at opposing ends of the surface. Also included is an interior finish panel connected to a first side of the pultruded core panel and an exterior finished panel connected to a second side the pultruded core panel.

Abstract: A tailgate assembly including at least two tailgate panels that both move between a closed position, a plurality of intermediate open positions, and a fully open position, where the tailgate panels selectively separate and articulate from the back of the cargo bed to the sides of the cargo bed. The tailgate panels move out of the way to provide direct access to the cargo area floor. The tailgate panels articulate in a small envelope of space, improving access to the rear in a confined space at the rear of the vehicle and reducing the risk of contacting objects that may be behind the vehicle.
