Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a convenient on-board tool storage structure, the storage structure allowing a storage location of an on-board tool to be seen easily, and allowing the on-board tool to be taken out without detaching a spare tire. The on-board tool storage structure of the present invention is formed in a supporting member 110 having a mounting surface 112 on which a spare tire 106 is mounted with such an inclination that a vehicle rear side thereof is elevated. A storage groove 114 which stores the tool therein is formed in the supporting member. A vehicle rear side end portion of the storage groove is exposed at a vehicle rear side of the spare tire. A distance along the storage groove between a position in which the storage groove starts to be exposed and a back panel 104 is shorter than the total length of the tool. A deep groove portion 114a is formed at a lower portion of the storage groove in such a manner as to be deeper toward the rear of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle rear structure is provided that can efficiently transmit input loads, and ensure sufficient durability against any input load that may be repeatedly applied in normal usage during the life cycle of a vehicle. A representative configuration of a vehicle rear structure according to the present invention is a vehicle rear structure for supporting, at the rear of a vehicle, an opening and closing body that can be opened and closed, including: a back panel disposed in an area extending from a lower end of the opening and closing body to the bottom of the vehicle; and a striker bracket provided substantially at the center in the width direction of the vehicle on a vehicle front-side of the back panel and extending from the vicinity of an upper end of the back panel to the vicinity of a lower end thereof.
