A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground engaging members and a frame supported by the plurality of ground engaging members. The frame assembly extends generally along a longitudinal axis of the utility vehicle. The utility vehicle further includes a front seating section coupled to the frame. The front seating section is configured to support an operator and a first passenger. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes a rear seating section coupled to the frame. The rear seating section is configured to support a second passenger and a third passenger. The rear seating section has an angled panel configured as a dead pedal for the second and third passengers, and a portion of the rear seating section extends forwardly into the front seating section.

Side-by-side utility vehicle

A vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame assembly supported by the plurality of ground-engaging members, and a seating area supported by the frame assembly and configured to support at least an operator and a passenger. The vehicle also includes a cargo area positioned rearward of the seating area and including a floor configured to support cargo thereon. Additionally, the vehicle includes a powertrain assembly including an engine and a transmission operably coupled to at least one of the plurality of ground-engaging members. A heat exchanger is fluidly coupled to the engine. The heat exchanger is angled relative to the floor of the cargo area and positioned along a lateral side of the cargo area.

Utility vehicle

A vehicle includes a frame assembly extending along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and including a rear frame portion. The rear frame portion includes at least one upstanding member, at least one longitudinal member, and at least one coupling member coupled to the at least one upstanding member and the at least one longitudinal member. The vehicle also includes at least one front ground-engaging member supporting the frame assembly, at least one rear ground-engaging member supporting the frame assembly, a drivetrain assembly operably coupled to the front and rear ground-engaging member, and a rear suspension assembly. The rear suspension assembly includes at least one radius rod operably coupled to the at least one rear ground-engaging member and angled less than 90&#xb0; relative to the at least one longitudinal member.

The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.
