Lincoln Navigator (2007) SUV [5/24] Vehicle characteristics

How your vehicle differs from other vehicles

SUV and trucks can differ from

some other vehicles in a few

noticeable ways. Your vehicle may

be:

• Higher – to allow higher load

carrying capacity and to allow it

to travel over rough terrain

without getting hung up or

damaging underbody components.

• Shorter – to give it the capability

to approach inclines and drive

over the crest of a hill without

getting hung up or damaging

underbody components. 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,

particularly in off-road use.

As a result of the above dimensional

differences, SUV’s and trucks 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.
