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.
