A motor vehicle body with an air-guiding device and with a trailer coupling mounting device. The air-guiding device is formed in a rear-end region of the motor vehicle body. The trailer coupling mounting device is adjustable into a rest position and into an active position. The trailer coupling mounting device, in at least the rest position, is at least partially covered with respect to surroundings by the air-guiding device, which is settable into a first operating position and a second operating position. For positioning the trailer coupling mounting device into its active position, the air-guiding device is settable into its second operating position and, after or together with the positioning of the air-guiding device into its second operating position, the trailer coupling mounting device is configured to be movable along a body vertical axis (Z) of the motor vehicle body.

A rear arrangement for a vehicle includes a trailer coupling mount and a rear diffuser having an adjustable air-guiding element which is adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position. The trailer coupling mount is pivotable about a pivot axis, which is congruent or parallel to the vehicle transverse axis (y), between an inoperative position and a use position. The air-guiding element in the retracted position at least partially conceals the trailer coupling mount, and the air-guiding element has to be brought into the extended position so that the trailer coupling mount can be pivoted into the use position.

A rear arrangement for a vehicle includes a trailer coupling mount and a rear diffuser having an adjustable air-guiding element which is adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position. The trailer coupling mount is pivotable about a pivot axis, which is congruent or parallel to the vehicle longitudinal axis (x), between an inoperative position and a use position.

A rear module can include a tailgate configured to pivot about a pivot axis that extends transversely with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction, and a frame element that extends transversely with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction and is integrated into the tailgate. The frame element has a first fastening assembly at its respective ends. The first fastening assembly being set up to selectively lock the rear module in a closed state of the tailgate together with second fastening assembly which are configured on the rear-side vehicle body. A motor vehicle can have such a rear module.

A hitch assembly includes a tubular shank, a tongue, at least one hitch ball, and a pin retractor assembly. The shank extends longitudinally from a first to second end. The shank also defines a pair of through holes. The pin retractor assembly includes a pull plate and a pin assembly. The pull plate is moveable in a longitudinal direction between a first position and a second position. The pin assembly includes at least two engagement pins operatively coupled to the pull plate. Each engagement pin is moveable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction between an extended position, in which each engagement pin protrudes through a corresponding one of the pair of through holes defined by the shank, and a retracted position. Actuation of the pull plate from the first position to the second position causes the engagement pins to move from the extended position to the retracted position.

A tow bar for connecting a motorized utility cart to a shopping cart includes a second tow bar segment pivotally attached to the first tow bar segment at a first hinge that defines a first axis; a third segment pivotally attached to the second tow bar segment at a second hinge that defines a second axis parallel to the first axis; an accessory connection attached to the first tow bar segment, the accessory connection provides for attachment to the motorized utility cart; a clamp attached to the third segment, the clamp for attachment to the shopping cart; and a ball joint that permits the clamp to articulate with respect to the second hinge.
