Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle and multi-purpose interior cabin lid for a vehicle that has use as a rear wall cover for one or more storage compartments in the interior cabin, a tailgate extension connectable to a vehicle tailgate, and a portable, freestanding table. The multi-purpose interior cabin lid member includes a base member, one or more coupling members, and one or more leg members coupled to the base member. The one or more coupling members are operable to selectively couple the base member in the interior cabin as a cover for the one or more storage compartments, and selectively couple the base member to a vehicle tailgate to serve as a tailgate extension. The one or more leg members are selectively coupled to the base member for movement between a retracted operating state when the base member is in an undetached operating state, and a deployed state to vertically support the base member on a support surface.
