A three part vehicle connection system comprising an object manipulator (A), a vehicle-defined connector (B) and a configuration-defined connection counterpart (e.g., a trailer-side or charging station-side connector, C) is disclosed. (A) and (B) are connectible; and, (B) and (C) are connectible. The connections (A to B and B to C) can be in a state that (i) defeats or (ii) allows connector disengagement. In a first configuration (1): (A) is connected to (B) in state (i) and (B) is connected to (C) in state (ii). When in configuration (1), an actuator of (A) can cause a change to a second configuration (2) wherein: (A) is connected to (B) in state (ii) and (B is connected to (C) in state (i).
