    Uphill Driving Due to configuration, this vehicle has excellent climbing ability, so much so that tipover is possible before traction is lost. For example, it is common to encounter terrain situations where the top of the hill has eroded to a point that the hill peak rises very sharply. The vehicle can readily negotiate such a condition, however, in doing so, when the front of the vehicle is driven to a point that the vehicle's balance changes rearward tipover can occur.
