I see Ian at Irregular has belatedly added a tilt to his Open Blitz lorry - perhaps he was inspired by my scratch build attempts ? ;D
The Opel without a tilt is also available.

A tilt makes a lorry useful on the table as its load of troops are hidden. - and you can play games like deploying a troop of empty or half full lorries to a flank or area as a bluff.  I always get suspicious of lorries/APCs who infantry don't debuss.

Can we lobby for a tilt on MDV22 - the Zil 151??

As a Yank - doubly confused! Thought it dealt with some relationship to the perpendicular. Oh wait - dang! - and did I say "Yank"!?  :o

Does this actually have something to do about adding a trailer?

Canvas tilt. What do they call them on the sinister side of the Atlantic?

I don't get out much - possible somewhere in the States they are called "tilts". Around here we call them "tarps" or "covers". Old timers (80+) some times call them "bonnets" which may add to the confusion.

We call them the 'basje' in dialect with a 'j' like in 'Japan'   :P

There you are- Pendraken Forum does more to educate men of a certain age than Open University  :o

Or Heidi Fleiss, apparently.

Incidently, I think by now Sunray has earned a tilt on at least the MVD22  :)
