A utility bed comprises a bed frame, a bed floor, an end wall, a seat back, and a seat bottom. The bed floor comprises a first and second floor portion. The first floor portion is movably coupled with the bed frame and is movable between a cargo support and an opened position. The end wall is slideably coupled with the bed frame and is slideable between a cargo hauling position and a seating position. The seat back is coupled with the end wall. The seat bottom portion is pinned directly to the end wall and is pivotable about a first axis. When the end wall is slid from the cargo hauling position to the seating position, the seat bottom portion is pivotable from the stored position to the seating position.
