A vehicle includes a frame, a steering assembly, an engine, a seat, an intake assembly, at least two electrical conductors, and an electrical coupler. The intake assembly includes a snorkel and a cover member. The snorkel includes an inlet and outlet port. The inlet port has a neck portion that defines an opening. The cover member is in fluid communication with the inlet port of the snorkel. The electrical coupler is engaged with the at least two electrical conductors and is configured to facilitate selective manual electrical disconnection of the at least two electrical conductors. A first imaginary plane intersects the opening and is substantially horizontal. A second imaginary plane extends laterally across the vehicle, intersects the opening, and intersects the first imaginary plane at a right angle. The electrical coupler is disposed entirely above the first imaginary plane and entirely forwardly of the second imaginary plane.

A vehicle includes wheels, an engine, a start switch, a differential, and a differential lock controller. Each wheel is rotatable at a respective wheel speed. The start switch is configured to selectively initiate of operation of the engine. The differential is associated with the wheels and includes a differential lock. The differential lock is selectively movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The wheels are rotatable together when the differential lock is in the locked position. The differential lock controller is configured to facilitate restriction of the wheel speed of at least one of the wheels when the differential lock is in the locked position. The differential lock controller is further configured to facilitate selective disablement of the wheel speed restriction when the start switch is actuated with the engine operating. Methods are also provided.
