An adjustable load floor member has a retracted position along the load floor, and an extended position aligned with a lower peripheral region for assisting loading of cargo into the rear cargo region. A passenger vehicle is provided with an adjustable load floor member having a retracted position along the load floor, and an extended position for dividing the rear cargo region into at least two compartments.
