Abstract

A utility vehicle comprises a plurality of ground engaging members and a frame supported by the plurality of ground engaging members. The utility vehicle includes a front seating area and a rear seating area. A rear cargo bed is reconfigurable from a configuration where it is rearward of the rear seating area to a second configuration where it includes the rear seating area space. The vehicle includes a transmission having a final drive portion and a plurality of transmission shafts housed in a common housing, the final drive portion being forward of an end of the plurality of transmission shafts. The vehicle also includes a front suspension and a rear suspension.
