KL trailhawk classification
Just to add, this is the actual requirements:
4.3.3. OFF-ROAD PASSENGER VEHICLE (MC)
A passenger vehicle having up to 9 seating positions, including that of the driver and being designed with special features for off-road operation. A vehicle with special features for off-road operation is a vehicle that:
(a) Unless otherwise ‘Approved‘ has 4 wheel drive;
(TH has 4wd + low range + rear diff lock)
and
(b) has at least 4 of the following 5 characteristics calculated when the vehicle is at its ‘Unladen Mass‘ on a level surface, with the front wheels parallel to the vehicle’s longitudinal centreline, and the tyres inflated to the ‘Manufacturer‘s’ recommended pressure:
(TH exceeds all 5)
(i) ‘Approach Angle‘ of not less than 28 degrees;
(TH is 30 degrees)
(ii) ‘Breakover Angle‘ of not less than 14 degrees;
(TH is 23 degrees)
(iii) ‘Departure Angle‘ of not less than 20 degrees;
(TH is 32 degrees)
(iv) ‘Running Clearance‘ of not less than 200 mm;
(TH is 221mm clearance)
(v) ‘Front Axle Clearance‘, ‘Rear Axle Clearance‘ or ‘Suspension Clearance‘ of not less than 175 mm each.
(TH is 220mm front and 180mm rear at lowest point of suspension clearance)
So I say we need a petition to send to FCAA to update and backdate the KL TH to be a MC rated vehicle!
