Vehicle

1. A utility vehicle, comprising:

a frame comprising a main frame section having outer frame rails;

ground engaging members supporting the frame, the ground engaging members having at least one wheel hub;

an operator's compartment;

a powertrain for driving the ground engaging members; and

a rear suspension comprising a trailing arm, a lower surface of the outer frame rails and a lower surface of the trailing arm being positioned above a lower surface of the at least one wheel hub and an upper surface of the outer frame rails and an upper surface of the trailing arm being positioned below an upper surface of the at least one wheel hub when in an unsprung, steady state.

2. The utility vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the outer frame rails define a longitudinal section and include a frame lower surface positioned vertically at a first height,

wherein a trailing arm lower surface is positioned vertically at a second height in an unsprung, steady state, and

wherein the first height of the frame lower surface is substantially equal to the second height of the trailing arm lower surface.

3. The utility vehicle of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the outer frame rails and an upper surface of the trailing arm are positioned below an upper surface of the at least one wheel hub.

4. The utility vehicle of claim 3 , further comprising a rear utility bed positioned behind the operator's compartment, and a mounting bracket being positioned vertically below the rear utility bed.

5. The utility vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the mounting bracket is positioned horizontally forward of the at least one wheel hub.

6. The utility vehicle of claim 1 , wherein each of the ground engaging members includes a rotational axis, and a longitudinal axis of the trailing arm is perpendicular to the rotational axis of the ground engaging members.

7. A utility vehicle, comprising:

a frame including a main frame section having outer frame rails defining a lower plane;

ground engaging members supporting the frame;

an operator's compartment;

a powertrain for driving the ground engaging members; and

a rear suspension comprising a trailing arm having a lower surface positioned substantially in plane with the lower plane of the lower surface of the outer frame rails when in the unsprung, steady state.

8. The utility vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the trailing arm has a flat lower surface.

9. The utility vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the trailing arm is substantially rectangular in cross-section.

10. The utility vehicle of claim 8 , wherein a lower surface of the trailing arm is configured to be parallel to a ground surface.

11. The utility vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the rear suspension further comprises a shock absorber coupled to the trailing arm and to the frame.
