Abstract

A pick-up style utility vehicle has a front seat, a rear seat, and a cargo bed, a cabin frame surrounding a riding space, and a screen shield partitioning the cargo bed and a rear riding space in front of the cargo bed. The cargo bed can be changed between an expanded state in which the cargo bed is expanded in a front direction into the rear riding space and a non-expanded state not occupying the rear riding space. The screen shield is directly or indirectly supported by a swinging shaft provided on a vehicle body and is swingable between a position in the expanded state and a position in the non-expanded state.
