Vehicle having front and rear vehicle structures

A vehicle comprising:

• a front vehicle structure including a left first pillar and a right first pillar;
• a rear vehicle structure defining a left door opening and a right door opening and including a left second pillar that partially defines the left door opening and a right second pillar that partially defines the right door opening, wherein the left second pillar defines a plurality of left channels and the right second pillar defines a plurality of right channels;
• a plurality of left tapered interface bodies, wherein each left tapered interface body is coupled to the left first pillar and is received in a respective left channel of the plurality of left channels such that the left second pillar is outboard of the left first pillar and the left tapered interface bodies inhibit the left second pillar from moving further outboard relative to the left first pillar;
• a plurality of right tapered interface bodies, wherein each right tapered interface body is coupled to the right first pillar and is received in a respective right channel of the plurality of right channels such that the right second pillar is outboard of the right first pillar and the right tapered interface bodies inhibit the right second pillar from moving further outboard relative to the right first pillar;
• a left attachment structure including a plurality of first fasteners extending at least partially through the left first pillar and the left second pillar to secure the front and rear vehicle structures to each other;
• and
• a right attachment structure including a plurality of second fasteners extending at least partially through the right first pillar and the right second pillar to secure the front and rear vehicle structures to each other.
