5 . The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first, second, third, and fourth tracks comprise a first terminal pin configuration for the four pins and a second terminal pin configuration for the four pins.
6 . The vehicle of claim 5 , wherein the load floor can be moved to an upper load floor position by placing the four pins into the first terminal pin configuration and the load floor can be moved to a lower load floor position by placing the four pins into the second terminal pin configuration.
7 . The vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising a storage bin having a raised portion configured to support an end of the load floor when the load floor is in an upper load floor position.
8 . A pull and push two steps load floor system comprising:
a first two-track transition support feature comprising a first track having an open end and a second track having an open end;
a second two-track transition support feature comprising a third track having an open end and a fourth track having an open end; and
a load floor comprising a hinge and four pins positioned such that the load floor can be coupled to the first two-track transition support feature and to the second two-track transition support feature by placing the four pins into respective tracks of the first two-track transition support feature and the second two-track transition support feature through the respective open ends.
9 . The pull and push two steps load floor system of claim 8 , wherein the hinge comprises a living hinge having a thickness that is less than a thickness of an upper portion and a thickness of a lower portion of the load floor.
10 . The pull and push two steps load floor system of claim 8 , wherein the second track and the fourth track each include an upper track portion, a lower track portion, and a middle track portion between the upper track portion and the lower track portion.
11 . The pull and push two steps load floor system of claim 10 , wherein the upper track portions are coplanar to the first track and the third track, the middle track portions descend from the upper track portions at a first angle A, and the lower track portions descend from the middle track portion at a second angle B greater than the first angle A.
12 . The pull and push two steps load floor system of claim 8 , wherein the first, second, third, and fourth tracks comprise a first terminal pin configuration for the four pins and a second terminal pin configuration for the four pins.
13 . The pull and push two steps load floor system of claim 12 , wherein the load floor can be moved to an upper load floor position by placing the four pins into the first terminal pin configuration and the load floor can be moved to a lower load floor position by placing the four pins into the second terminal pin configuration.
14 . The pull and push two steps load floor system of claim 8 , further comprising a storage bin having a raised portion configured to support an end of the load floor when the load floor is in an upper load floor position.
15 . A method comprising:
providing a first two-track transition support feature comprising a first track having an open end and a second track having an open end;
