OFF-ROAD VEHICLE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A high-mobility wheeled vehicle for transporting long loads over roadless terrain. The vehicle has front and rear quad wheel assemblies pivotally connected to a centrally disposed elongated bed frame so as to permit lateral rotation of these assemblies about the longitudinal axis of the frame. A roll control means interconnects the quad wheel assemblies and the bed frame to proportionately control the relative angular movement. The wheels of each quad wheel assembly are paired together by walking beam members, thus providing a suspension system having balanced load distribution between the wheels over a wide range of terrain rough- ness conditions. A differential drive system provides a balanced distribution of power to each wheel on both assemblies under all wheel drive conditions. Preferably, each of these wheels is steer- able and the steering control means provides for oblique travel in conjunction with conventional steering.
