Vehicle gate assembly with cargo tray

A vehicle gate assembly for a vehicle comprising:

• a first coupling member that is movably coupled to the vehicle;
• a second coupling member;
• a gate that is movably coupled to the vehicle via the first coupling member so as to move between a raised position and a lowered position;
• and
• a tray assembly that is movably supported inside the vehicle so as to move between a retracted position inside the vehicle and an extended position at least partially outside the vehicle, wherein the tray assembly is coupled to the gate via the second coupling member such that movement of the gate between the raised and lowered position coincidentally moves the tray assembly between the extended position and the retracted position.

A vehicle gate assembly for a vehicle comprising:

• a first coupling member that is rotatably coupled to the vehicle;
• a second coupling member;
• a gate that is coupled to the first coupling member at a first coupling point so as to move between a raised position and a lowered position, wherein the first coupling point moves away from the vehicle when moving from the raised position to the lowered position;
• and
• a tray assembly that is slidably supported by the vehicle so as to slide between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the tray assembly is coupled to the gate via the second coupling member such that movement of the gate between the raised and lowered position coincidentally slides the tray assembly between the extended position and the retracted position.
