Abstract: A motor vehicle may include a roof including a roof opening. The motor vehicle may include a panel manually configurable between a fully closed position in which the panel fully covers the roof opening and a plurality of open positions in which at least a portion of the roof opening is uncovered by the panel. Further, the panel may be moveable from the fully closed position to a first open position by movement of the panel in a first direction, and the panel may also be moveable from the fully closed position to a second open position by movement of the panel in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A motor vehicle may include a roof including a roof opening. The motor vehicle may also include a panel manually configurable between a fully closed position, an intermediate position, and at least one open position. The panel may be coupled to a link, and the link may be configured to rotate relative to the roof opening to move the panel between the intermediate and fully closed positions. The link may further be configured to slide relative to the roof opening to move the panel to the at least one open position.

Abstract: A shelter system for a truck includes a platform assembly that can pivot back-and-forth between a stowed position and a deployed position. The platform assembly spans a bed of a truck when in the stowed position. The platform assembly is disposed over a cab of the truck when in the deployed position. A tent covers the platform assembly when the platform assembly is in the deployed position.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a plurality of fins engaged with a bed wall of a cargo bed. The plurality of fins are configured to move telescopically back-and-forth between a stowed position and a deployed position. The fins can be disposed along a vertical top of the bed wall. The fins can slidably engage the bed wall.

Abstract: A device assembly of a vehicle that includes a display housing where a display is attached to the front of the housing and a receiver is attached to the rear of the housing. The receiver couples to a receiver mount on the vehicle. An interlock connection exists between the display housing and the receiver mount. When the interlock connection is locked, triggered by the car being in a dynamic state, the display housing cannot be slidably decoupled from the receiver mount. When the interlock connection is unlocked, triggered by the vehicle being in a static state, the display housing can be slidably decoupled from the receiver mount.

Abstract: A system and method comprise selectively moving a trailer hitch between a towing position where the trailer hitch is located in a cargo area above a vehicle bed floor and a stowed position where the trailer hitch is located underneath the bed floor and hidden from view.

Abstract: A pedal assembly for providing operational inputs to a vehicle may include a first pedal which may include a first pedal arm and a first pedal pad and may be operably coupled to a powertrain of the vehicle, and a second pedal which may include a second pedal arm and a second pedal pad and may be operably coupled to a brake assembly of the vehicle. The pedal assembly may be adjustable between a first state in which the pedal assembly may be arranged for one-footed operation, and a second state in which the pedal assembly may be arranged for two-footed operation.

Abstract: An assembly includes a plurality of discrete light modules that are supported by a wall that at least partially surrounds a cargo area. Each light module is movable outward of the wall between a plurality of use positions. Each light module is selectively positionable to illuminate the cargo area or an area external to the cargo area.

Abstract: Deployable glass guard systems are provided for motor vehicles. An exemplary deployable glass guard system may include a deployable glass guard that is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position relative to a window of the vehicle. In the deployed position, the deployable glass guard is positioned to protect a glass panel of the window. The deployable glass guard system may be a manually actuated system or a powered system. In some implementations, the deployable glass guard system may be an accessory system of the vehicle.
