This disclosure relates to a motor vehicle including a load-assist roller. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a motor vehicle, including a panel and a roller moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position. When the roller is in the deployed position, the roller projects rearward of a rear edge of the panel.

Vehicle including load-assist roller

A cargo bed system includes a floor assembly for a cargo bed of a vehicle. The floor assembly is configured to transition back and forth between a standard floor position and an extended floor position. The floor assembly includes a plurality of floor sections each having a cargo support surface. The floor sections are folded when the floor assembly is in the standard floor position. The floor sections are unfolded when the floor assembly is in the extended floor position.

Extendable cargo bed floor

An example vehicle includes a frame and a body panel attached to the frame and providing an exterior surface of the vehicle. The body panel includes a flexible fabric material. This provides a number of benefits, including providing a resilient, lightweight, and customizable body panel. These and other benefits will be appreciated from the detailed description and drawings.

Vehicle with body panel including flexible fabric

A vehicle system includes a floor. A dashboard is positioned vehicle-upward of the floor. A plurality of seating assemblies are coupled to the floor and are arranged into a first row and a second row. A base is coupled to the floor and comprises a trough that extends vehicle-rearward from a forward end to a rearward end. A storage console is coupled to the base and is operable to slide within the trough between a forward position that is proximate to the forward end, a rearward position that is proximate to the rearward end, and an intermediate position there between.

Vehicle system

A cargo storage assembly for a vehicle includes an outer shell defining a primary cavity and an inner shell positioned within the primary cavity. A plurality of reinforcement members are positioned between the outer shell and the inner shell within the primary cavity. A cover assembly is coupled with the outer shell and includes a first portion hingedly coupled with a second portion. Each of the first and second portions is configured to be rotatable about an axis from a closed position to an open position.

Storage assembly for vehicle

A seating system for a vehicle is disclosed herein. The seating system includes a first seating assembly having a first seat base pivotable between use and pivoted positions. A second seating assembly is adjacent to the first seating assembly and includes a second seat base that is pivotable between use and pivoted positions. The first and second seat bases are operable between interdependent conditions, wherein movement of the first seat base between the use and pivoted positions causes the second seat base to move between the use and pivoted positions, and independent conditions, wherein the first seat base is operable to move between the use and pivoted positions independently of the second seat base.
