An off-road vehicle includes a seat located adjacent to an entrance in a vehicle compartment, and a storage located below the seat and having a housing space therein. The storage has an access opening opened to the entrance such that the housing space is accessible from the entrance.

Off-road vehicle

A utility vehicle includes a rear seat; a seat frame provided below the rear seat, the rear seat being attached to the seat frame; a supporter provided below the seat frame to support the seat frame; and a battery provided below the seat frame. The supporter further holds the battery.

Utility vehicle

A utility vehicleincludes a vehicle body, seatsR having seat bottomsand seat backsattached to the vehicle body, and an electric component boxhaving an access openingpositioned at the rear of the seat back. The seatR further has a detacherthat detachably attaches the seat backto the vehicle body

A stabilizer bar support structure of an off-road vehicle includes a vehicle body frame having a seat base frame that supports a seat and a support frame that supports the seat base frame, a stabilizer bar that couples right and left suspensions to each other and is supported on the support frame, and a bracket attached to the support frame. The stabilizer bar is attached to the support frame through the bracket. The bracket receives the load of the seat base frame through the support frame.

Stabilizer bar support structure of off-road vehicle and off-road vehicle

A utility vehicle includes a vehicle body frame and a cargo bed supported by the vehicle body frame, the cargo bed including a side wall unit. The side wall unit includes a side wall, a tail lamp mounted on a rear end portion of the side wall, and a bolt including a shaft portion and a head portion. The tail lamp is secured to the side wall by the bolt oriented in a vehicle width direction. The head portion of the bolt is hidden by a part of the side wall unit when viewed from behind.

A utility vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a pair of right and left front wheels disposed at a front end of the vehicle body frame, and a pair of right and left rear wheels disposed at a rear end of the vehicle body frame. The vehicle body frame has, at a bottom thereof, a bottom main frame extending in an anteroposterior direction at a center in a vehicle width direction, and a pair of right and left bottom side frames located width direction extending in the anteroposterior direction between the front wheels and the rear wheels at outer ends in the vehicle, and the bottom side frames are located above the bottom main frame.

A protection device of a vehicle suspension device includes a vehicle body frame, a wheel, a knuckle that rotatably supports the wheel, a suspension arm that connects the vehicle body frame and the knuckle and is configured to be swingable up and down along with up-and-down movement of the wheel with an end portion attached to the vehicle body frame being a pivot point, a shock absorber that has an upper end attached to the vehicle body frame and a lower end attached to the suspension arm, and is configured to buffer swinging movement in an up-and-down direction of the suspension arm, and an absorber cover attached to the suspension arm and covering a periphery of the shock absorber.

Protection structure for vehicle suspension device

A suspension structure of a utility vehicle includes: a shock absorber; and a trailing arm extending in a longitudinal direction of the utility vehicle. A lower end of the shock absorber is supported by a rear end of the trailing arm within a wheel as viewed in a side view of the utility vehicle.

Supporting structure for shock absorber of suspension device and suspension structure of utility vehicle

A suspension structure of a utility vehicle includes: a shock absorber; a knuckle; and an upper arm and a lower arm which connects the knuckle to a vehicle body frame of the utility vehicle, wherein a recessed portion which is recessed downward is formed on the upper arm, and a lower end of the shock absorber is supported by the recessed portion.

A supporting structure for a shock absorber of a suspension device of a utility vehicle includes a shock absorber and a vehicle body frame. The shock absorber is supported on a support portion of the vehicle body frame from below the vehicle body frame, and a rollover protective structure (ROPS) is connected to the support portion from above the vehicle body frame.

Supporting structure for shock absorber of suspension device of utility vehicle

An attaching structure for a stabilizer of a utility vehicle includes: a pair of right and left independent suspension devices; the stabilizer which connects the pair of right and left independent suspension devices to each other; and a support member which is raised from a main frame and is configured to support a load from above. A through hole is defined in the support member such that the through hole penetrates the support member in a vehicle width direction, and the stabilizer passes through the through hole and is supported on the support member.

Attaching structure for stabilizer of utility vehicle

A supporting structure for a shock absorber of a suspension device of a utility vehicle includes a pair of right and left shock absorbers, and a transverse frame extending in a vehicle width direction. The both shock absorbers are supported on the transverse frame by one bracket from below the transverse frame, and the transverse frame extends from both sides of the bracket toward the outside in the vehicle width direction in an upwardly inclined manner.

A suspension structure of a utility vehicle includes a frame, a wheel, and a trailing arm including an arm extending anteroposteriorly and supported by the frame, a knuckle rotatably supporting the wheel, and a rotary shaft configured to angularly displace the knuckle in a vehicle width direction with respect to the arm.

Suspension structure of utility vehicle

A utility vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a pair of right and left front wheels and a pair of right and left rear wheels. The vehicle body frame has, at a bottom thereof, a bottom main frame extending in an anteroposterior direction and provided with a frame front portion located between the front wheels, a frame rear portion located between the rear wheels, and a frame intermediate portion located between the frame front portion and the frame rear portion and extending in the anteroposterior direction. In a vehicle side view, the bottom main frame has a frame highest portion in the frame intermediate portion, which has a highest ground level in the bottom main frame, and the bottom main frame has a ground level gradually increasing from the frame front portion and the frame rear portion toward the frame highest portion.
