| H3 provides a surprisingly
smooth, comfortable ride, along with the responsive handling and braking
control that customers want for daily driving. Key chassis features
that contribute to this combination of smoothness and control, both
on- and off-road, include: |
- A fully welded ladder-type frame,
with a modular, three-piece design that incorporates fully boxed
components for outstanding strength and stiffness.
- An independent front SLA torsion
bar suspension and "Hotchkiss" design multi-leaf, semi-elliptic,
single-stage leaf spring rear suspension. The standard suspension
provides excellent on-highway comfort and outstanding off-road
capability, while the optional Off-Road Adventure package delivers
more extreme off-road capability.
- Underbody protection that includes
four standard protective shields, including the front skid plate;
an oil pan skid plate that also protects the front axle; and a
transfer case shield and a fuel tank shield. Additional protection
is also available from optional chassis-bolted rocker panel protectors.
- A highly sophisticated standard
power rack-and-pinion steering system, with a three-bushing design
and a 17:1 ratio that contributes to a very maneuverable 37-foot
curb-to-curb turning circle.
- Electro-hydraulic four-wheel anti-lock
disc brakes with Dynamic Rear Proportioning, for quick, controlled
stops.
- Standard single-wheel, full-function
traction control that uses a combination of engine intervention
and brake management to allow as many as three wheels on a slippery
surface and still provide impressive traction capability. It also
interacts with the transfer case to provide additional off-road
operating modes.
- StabiliTrak vehicle stability enhancement
system, which enhances safety, stability and control on all roads.
