midgate

Where it comes from

From mid- + gate. From being a door in the middle of a truck, separating the front half from the rear half.

noun midgates · mid-gate · mid gate

  1. A panel or door, forming the rear of the cab of a truck, separating it from the truckbed, that can be removed or folded away to expand the length of the truck bed. The Avalanche’s raison d’être is theoretically its midgate —— the rear wall of the cab, behind the second-row seats —— which can be lowered to extend the 63-inch-long bed by another 34 inches inside the cab (displacing back-seat passengers in the process).
