How your vehicle differs from other vehicles

Crossover vehicles can differ from

some other vehicles in a few

noticeable ways. Your vehicle may

be:

• Higher – to allow higher load

carrying capacity.

• Shorter – to give it the capability

to approach inclines. All other

things held equal, a shorter

wheelbase may make your vehicle

quicker to respond to steering

inputs than a vehicle with a

longer wheelbase.

• Narrower – to provide greater

maneuverability in tight spaces.

As a result of the above dimensional differences, crossover vehicles often

will have a higher center of gravity and a greater difference in center of

gravity between the loaded and unloaded condition.

These differences that make your vehicle so versatile also make it handle

differently than an ordinary passenger car.
