A six wheeled off-road utility vehicle includes a frame upon which is mounted an engine for use in providing locomotive power to drive the vehicle. A steering wheel is also connected to a steering system for use in providing steering for the ground engaging wheels. Turning the steering wheel rotates a steering column rod about a longitudinal axis and rotates a pinion gear. The first and second front ground engaging wheels are connected to a first axle and first and second rear ground engaging wheels are connected to the second axle. A mechanical linkage is operatively connected between the first and second front ground engaging wheels and the first and second rear ground engaging wheels. The mechanical linkage is engaged in a first linkage direction, the first and second front ground engaging wheels pivot in a first steering direction, and the first and second rear ground engaging wheels pivot in a second steering direction. A steering angle A1 of the first and second front ground engaging wheels forms a steering ratio with the steering angle A2 of the first and second rear ground engaging wheels in the range substantially between 1 and 4.
