Abstract

Methods, systems, and vehicles including such system are provided. The systems include a vertical position movement mechanism configured to raise and lower a powertrain or a component thereof of the vehicle relative to a chassis of the vehicle, and a controller configured to, by one or more processors, modify a vertical position of the powertrain or the component thereof between a top and a bottom of the chassis with the vertical position movement mechanism to controllably adjust a first angle of a first joint at a first end of a drive shaft of the vehicle. The drive shaft functionally couples the powertrain and wheels of the vehicle to transfer rotational power from the powertrain to the wheels.
