Minimal Height From The Ground/Angle Characteristics
"MINIMUM HEIGHT FLOOR" (Reference A)
The value of the height is measured in near the bottom of the differential. It also determines those relating to "angle of attack", "Departure angle" and to "Ramp Angle".
Dimensions are in mm and refer to the vehicle fitted with standard tires.
Versions with front wheel drive (FWD): 171 mm
Versions with all-wheel drive (4WD): 201 mm
Trailhawk versions with all-wheel drive (4WD LOW): 225 mm
"ANGLE OF ATTACK" (reference B)
The angle of attack is determined by the horizontal line of the road surface and the tangent line passing between the front wheel and the lower point of greatest projection of the car.
The greater the angle, the smaller the possibility of bumping, with the bodywork or the chassis, during a steep slope or in a passage of the obstacle.
Versions with front wheel drive (FWD): 17.9°
Versions with all-wheel drive (4WD): 21°
Trailhawk versions with all-wheel drive (4WD LOW): 30.5°
"OUTPUT ANGLE" (reference C)
The output angle is determined by the same lines of the "angle of attack" and refers to the rear of the vehicle.
Versions with front wheel drive (FWD): 29.7°
Versions with all-wheel drive (4WD): 32.1°
Trailhawk versions with all-wheel drive (4WD LOW): 34.3°
"BACK ANGLE" (reference D)
The value of "Ramp Angle" is related to the height from the floor of the vehicle and the vehicle's ability to overcome a hump, more or less accentuated without the vehicle, touching off the same with its lower parts more prominent (normally the underbody), remains resting on the ground with the frame or with the body, which would cause the loss of wheel grip.
These, not having a proper grip on the ground, they will not have enough grip to advance the vehicle and will end up going around in circles.
The greater the height, the greater the angle off. Keep in mind that the greater the height, the lower its stability due to rising center of gravity, thus reducing the angle of lateral tipping.
Versions with front wheel drive (FWD): 21.2°
Versions with all-wheel drive (4WD): 24°
Trailhawk versions with all-wheel drive (4WD LOW): 25.7°
