Yes. All of the heavy metal (Engine, transmission, transfer case and the frame itself are relatively low compared to the height of the vehicle.) Granted it's no sports car but I felt safer driving it then our old Dodge Caravan that felt like it was going to flip any time you so much as breathed on the steering wheel.
