A cargo management system for a vehicle includes a substantially rigid
load floor panel pivotally connected along a first edge to a base to
provide a load floor substantially flush with a vehicle floor when
stowed, and pivotally connected along an opposite edge to a rigid grid
that may be deployed in a first position above and generally parallel to
the base, and a second position generally transverse to the base to
extend above any vehicle seats and generally separate a cargo area from a
passenger area. The cargo management system may also include a secondary
door, panel, or other device to cover a storage well or compartment of
the base and to support additional cargo when the load floor panel is
deployed.
