Work machine
The front pillar disposed on the second side face of the cab is located behind the front pillar disposed on the first side face of the cab. The boom mounting bracket and the front pillar overlap each other in a side view.
Utility vehicle
A utility vehicle includes a chassis and a work implement movably coupled to the chassis. An operator support is positioned within an operator cab. The operator support includes a seat and a backrest coupled to the seat. A position of the operator support is selectively adjustable relative to the chassis. The utility vehicle further includes a control system in communication with the operator support. The control system includes a sensor operable to sense a position of the work implement relative to the chassis, and a controller including a processor and a memory. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensor representative of the position of the work implement. The controller is further configured to generate a signal to automatically adjust the position of the operator support relative to the chassis based in part on the position of the work implement relative to the chassis.
VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE
A vehicle body structure has a vehicle frame structure, a cabin structure, a cargo area structure and an elastic bumper element. The cabin structure is installed to a forward portion of the vehicle frame structure and defines a passenger compartment. The cabin structure also has a rearward wall. The cargo area structure is installed to a rearward portion of the vehicle frame structure. The cargo area structure has a forward wall spaced apart from the rearward wall of the cabin structure. The elastic bumper element is installed to one of the rearward wall or the forward wall such that in response to flexing of the vehicle frame structure, the elastic bumper element can contact the other of the rearward wall or the forward wall thereby restricting direct contact between the rearward wall and the forward wall.

Cab chassis vehicle and method of assembling
A cab chassis vehicle and a method of assembling a cab-chassis vehicle are provided. A chassis is sub-assembled by connecting a mounting bracket for a truck body to a frame rail via a fastener, installing a chassis-side vehicle harness, and installing a chassis-side body wiring harness. A cab is sub-assembled by installing a connector plate to cover an aperture on an outer panel of the cab, installing a cab-side body wiring harness, connecting the cab-side body wiring harness to the connector plate, and installing a cab-side vehicle harness. The cab is assembled to the chassis to provide a cab-chassis vehicle by connecting the chassis-side body wiring harness to the connector plate, connecting the chassis-side vehicle harness to the cab-side vehicle harness.

DRIVER'S SEAT PERIPHERAL STRUCTURE, AND SEAT PERIPHERAL STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE
A driver's seat peripheral structure includes a driver's seat provided upward from a power unit compartment at a front portion of a vehicle, a front floor panel that makes up a floor face of the driver's seat and that is provided with an opening having a size that enables an electronic unit in the power unit compartment to be extracted, and a lid member that is attached to the front floor panel to close the opening and to which a reinforcing member is integrally attached.
VEHICLE SEAT SUPPORT STRUCTURE
A part of a floor panel of a cabin is formed by a main wall portion, and the main wall portion is located on the vehicle upper side and vehicle front side of a center floor panel located to overlap an electronic device when viewed in the vehicle vertical direction. A vehicle seat is supported from the vehicle lower side by a base portion that extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction. A leg portion is extended downward from a vehicle-front-side portion of the base portion, and the leg portion is supported on the main wall portion. A partition frame is located on the vehicle rear side of the vehicle seat, and a vehicle-rear-side portion of the base portion is supported by the partition frame.
VEHICLE FRONT SECTION STRUCTURE
A vehicle front section structure including left and right front side frames, and left and right front side members. The left and right front side frames extend along a vehicle front-rear direction at respective sides in a vehicle width direction with respect to the power unit. A lower kick section sloping with a downward gradient on progression toward a vehicle rear side is formed at a rear section of each of the front side frames. The left and right front side members extend along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle upper side of the left and right front side frames, are supported by the left and right front side frames, and configure part of a vehicle body. An upper kick section sloping with a downward gradient on progression toward the vehicle rear side is formed at a rear section of each of the front side members.
VEHICLE FRONT SECTION STRUCTURE
A vehicle front section structure includes left and right front side frame. A deformation portion configured to undergo compression deformation in the vehicle front-rear direction at a time of head-on collision of the vehicle is provided at a front end portion of each of the left and right front side frames. Left and right front side members that support a floor section of a vehicle cabin extend along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle upper side with respect to the left and right front side frames. Front sections of the left and right front side members and the corresponding left and right deformation portions are connected by left and right coupling members. The left and right coupling members are configured so as to more readily undergo plastic deformation under collision load at a time of head-on collision than the left and right front side members.
