Tailgate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tailgate in American English is the board or gate at the back of a wagon, truck, station wagon, etc., hinged at the bottom which can be removed or let down for convenience in loading or unloading. A door at the back of a vehicle hinged at the top and opens to the top is referred to in American English as hatch, hatchback or liftgate.
The tailgate in British English, sometimes called the hatch, is a door on the back of a vehicle that can be moved up or down, such as on a pickup truck or hatchback. In Britain it is called the car boot.
The tailgate has given rise to the term tailgating, and tailgating can also refer to tailgate parties.
