A cargo area extender is provided that consists of a top panel, a bottom panel and two side panels. When the tailgate of a truck or SUV is opened, hinged pins in the side panels pull the side panels into channels on the bottom panel. Once the tailgate is lowered, the top panel, which is adjacent to the bottom panel and connected to the bottom panel with hinges, is rotated upward and outward around the hinges. A latch on the bottom panel is then deployed to extend and lock the side panels into an open position. The top panel is closed to form a temporary tailgate. A handle on the top panel latches the top panel to the cargo area extender sliding side panels and the cargo area extender is fully deployed.
