Abstract
A vehicle includes a body that defines an exposed cargo area, and a cargo rack pivotably attached to the body for rotational movement between a deployed position and a stowed position. When in the deployed position, a crossbar portion of the cargo rack is disposed above the cargo area to support cargo. When in the stowed position, the crossbar portion is concealed to provide uninterrupted access to the cargo area from above.
