A latch mechanism for a vehicle bed, such as a dump bed on an off-road utility vehicle. The latch mechanism includes a latch bar having at least one latch for latching the bed to a vehicle frame member. A latch handle is attached to the latch bar so as to rotate to move the latch bar from a latched position to an unlatched position. The latch bar may be attached to the bed to extend along the width of the bed. The latch handle may be rotated in a rotational path in a plane that is substantially parallel to the width of the bed to cause the latch bar to move in the lateral direction of the vehicle. The latch handle may also include a grip arranged so that the latch handle may be used to unlatch the bed and to move the bed with an efficient motion.
