Professional SUVs - conquerors of off-road

Everything can be divided into three classes of off-road vehicles. Younger will be considered crossovers (they are also often referred to as "SUVs"). Middle part, we assume universal SUVs, designed to ride as the roads and over rough terrain. For high school students to assign a professional off-road, the main purpose of which - the mud puddle. About them and talk in this article. Classic SUVs - are the descendants of the legendary army jeep jeep. These machines were originally created for use in off-road conditions. Mud puddle - of their profession, however, do not think that a professional off-road car - a car with a purely brutal appearance a la "Jeep Wrangler or a Land Rover Defender. SUVs are the modern and beautiful, and luxurious, and generally what you want. More difficult to figure them out. However, to reveal this conqueror of off-road - can be. The main features of three. This is a support frame, axle suspension and the presence of a significant downshift ratio (not less than 1,8). Now let's talk more about each item. The first condition for the "pros" - is a powerful spar frame is capable of protecting the body from the blows, which in the present roads can not be avoided. Axle suspension - it is a strong bridge, girder, which is attached to the frame without hinges. Simple and sturdy construction. Pits and stones from a car suspension almost scary. The lowest part of the bottom - the main transmission sump. The rest - the car a huge clearance (clearance). Nothing (except housing) does not prevent a car smack snow or sand, and even more solid ground, which practically does not meet resistance. Have dependent suspension and another significant plus. You can easily increase the suspension travel, which will allow the car longer maintain contact with the road - or rather, with the surface because of the way, however. Long-travel suspension makes the car more durable, and more than passable. The third sign of professional off-roader - is reducing gear. Rotate all the wheels in the mud at the first high gear - more than difficult. But downshifting is a factor of 2.0 as the transfer of becoming half as fast and twice as powerful. Professional Stamping dreaming of a big SUV gryazische and this off-road. In the difficult conditions he wants to work permanently. This car not only crawl on even the strongest SUV, but live under such loads for much longer. However, a professional "crooks" there are also minuses. One of the main things - the inability of these cars to drive on public roads. Wheel axle suspension connected to the axle. Change the position of one wheel will automatically mean a similar reaction of the other. If the left wheel at high speed hit the hole, work it is necessary not only him but also the right one. As a result of a car talking on the road and in tight turns, he can lose the desired trajectory. At the same independent suspension, each wheel independently, "eats" more road irregularities, making the car more manageable. When driving on the highway, a professional off-road behaves more like a good truck. Manage it on the track is much more complicated than passenger car, inhibits a machine of extremely reluctant and inefficient, and often - and unpredictable. Therefore, it is not recommended "to drown all the money, moving on Aquatic suburban highway on any" Gelendvagene. Rama professional off-road - heavy stuff, every bridge - even two hundred pounds. On roads under the bridges chatters salon car, if lower staged brawl two huge hog. Coupled with a substantial buildup of a body, all this provides little pleasant moments passenger SUV. Another story - the cost of maintenance of serious "rogue". You must pass at least every forty-thousand kilometers, and if the machine operated in off-road - twice as often. If the car did not break anything, the cost of each preventive maintenance - from five hundred to thousands of evergreen North American money. Before buying a serious off-roader, think carefully - you need whether it is you really are. In the city this machine behaves rudely, is unlikely to be good to her and you. Erstwhile popularity of professional off-road vehicles will gradually decrease. Now the world is constantly produced no more than a dozen of these machines. Conquerors of terrain in the world it is enough.
