Abstract

The present disclosure provides a vehicle body frame structure including: a side rail extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction and disposed so as to face a front tire in a vehicle transverse direction; a cab mount member projecting toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side, from a region of the side rail that is further toward a vehicle rear side than the front tire, and to which a body is mounted; and a projecting portion projecting toward the front tire from a region of the cab mount member that is away from the side rail in the vehicle transverse direction.

Claims (12)

1. A vehicle body frame structure comprising:

a side rail extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction and disposed so as to face a front tire in a vehicle transverse direction;

a cab mount member projecting toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side, from a region of the side rail that is further toward a vehicle rear side than the front tire, and to which a body is mounted; and

a projecting portion projecting toward the front tire from a region of the cab mount member that is away from the side rail in the vehicle transverse direction.

2. The vehicle body frame structure of claim 1 , wherein:

a first curved portion, which is curved such that a vehicle longitudinal direction rear side thereof is positioned further toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side than a front side thereof, and a second curved portion, which is disposed further toward a rear side than the first curved portion and is curved so as to run along the vehicle longitudinal direction, are formed at the side rail; and

as seen in a vehicle plan view, the cab mount member projects toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side from a region that is further toward a vehicle longitudinal direction rear side than an apex of an arc of a vehicle transverse direction outer side surface of the second curved portion.

3. The vehicle body frame structure of claim 1 , wherein a facing surface of the cab mount member that faces the front tire in the vehicle longitudinal direction, is inclined such that a vehicle transverse direction outer side end thereof is positioned further toward a vehicle longitudinal direction front side than an inner side end thereof, as seen in a vehicle plan view.

4. The vehicle body frame structure of claim 1 , wherein an inclined surface, which is inclined such that a rear end thereof is positioned further toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side than a front end thereof as seen in a vehicle plan view, is formed at a vehicle transverse direction outer side region at the projecting portion.

5. The vehicle body frame structure of claim 1 , wherein:

a cross member that extends in the vehicle transverse direction is joined to the side rail; and

the cab mount member projects out from the side rail such that, as seen in a vehicle plan view, a vehicle transverse direction end portion of the cross member is disposed further toward a rear side than the projecting portion and further toward a vehicle longitudinal direction front side than an imaginary line that extends from a rear surface at a vehicle longitudinal direction rear side of the cab mount member.
