A truck bed extension apparatus is useful in extending the bed of a truck having a primary tailgate pivotally movable between open and closed configurations. The apparatus includes a hinge assembly having a hinge plate coupled to the primary tailgate. An auxiliary tailgate includes a lower edge pivotally coupled to a front edge of the hinge plate, the auxiliary tailgate being pivotally movable between a stowed configuration co-planar with and adjacent to the hinge plate and a deployed configuration extending upwardly from the hinge plate. A pair of side panels is pivotally coupled to opposed side edges of the auxiliary tailgate and selectively movable between retracted and extended configurations. The truck bed is extended and enclosed when the primary tailgate is at an open configuration, the auxiliary tailgate is at the deployed configuration, and the pair of side panels is at the extended configuration.
