A vehicle (11, Fig. 17) and vehicle storage compartment (10, Fig. 1) having a rear opening defined in part by a rear edge of the vehicle load floor and to a load floor assembly 1 for the vehicle. The load floor assembly includes a first, fixed part 2 and a second part 3 that is movable and possibly lockable with respect to the first part between a stowed position in which the first and second parts together provide the load floor 20, 30 of the vehicle and a deployed position in which the second portion extends at an angle from the first portion. The second part may extend from the rear edge of the load floor assembly at a right angle relative to the first part to obstruct the rear opening and/or to provide a usable work surface by deploying a panel (32, Fig. 7) from the second part. Or the second part may extend out of the rear opening to provide an extension to the load floor or a seat, or extend orthogonally from the first part inward from the rear edge to separate the load floor. Control systems for operating the adaptable load floor, or load space door are also disclosed.
