Some of the cars sold in India that are equipped with a ladder frame chassis include the Maruti Suzuki Gypsy, Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour, Mahindra Alturas G4, Mahindra Thar, Force Gurkha and Mercedes AMG G63.
Ladder frame chassis are essential for good off roading ability, because they are able to twist and stretch on uneven surfaces while keeping the vehicle stable and well planted. A regular chassis may be bent and be rendered unsafe for driving when taken off road.
