Abstract
A vehicle body for a multi-platform, reconfigurable electric truck includes a front trunk, an extendable bed and barn door tailgates, a sidewall table, and a side step and drawer. The front trunk includes a cover movable between a closed and open positions, and includes panels selectively movable between a retracted and extended positions to form a work surface. A bed extender slides between a retracted and extended positions. Barn door tailgates each move between closed, partially open, and fully open positions and include inner tailgates movable between stowed and deployed positions. The barn door tailgates and the inner tailgates enclose an extended region of a bed when the bed extender is extended position, the barn door tailgates are each partially open, and the inner tailgates are each deployed. The sidewall table folds down from a sidewall, and the drawer pulls out from a sidewall.
