I believe the answer is:

trailer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vehicle' is the definition.
(trailer is a kind of vehicle)

'later i turned right' is the wordplay.
'turned' is an anagram indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'later'+'i'='lateri'
'lateri' is an anagram of 'traile'.
'traile'+'r'='TRAILER'

'connected' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trailer that I've seen before include "TV ad" , "Preview < of what follows" , "Short film advertising programme" , "Appetising extract" , "Rear-lit (anag.)" .)
