Abstract
A utility vehicle is equipped with a chassis, one or more rows of seats disposed on the chassis, and a cargo bed disposed behind the one or more rows of seats. The cargo bed is rotatably supported by a pivot shaft of the chassis so as to be movable up and down between a normal position in which the cargo bed is in a non-raised state and a dump position in which the cargo bed is in a raised state. Concave portions for cargo bed raising use that are used to raise the cargo bed by hand are integrally formed respectively in the left and right side walls of the cargo bed.
