English translation:the [vehicle's] connection
Explanation:
My idea is more along the literal lines of "the vehicle's connection" to the load e.g.
tow hitch, tow bar, trailer coupler, etc

i.e. "bils leden" rather than "bil sleden"

neutral  Per Bergvall: Bils leden isn't Norwegian by any strech of the imagination. A straight typo is more likely - bilsladden would be a 'swecism' that many Norwegian would write.
