A utility vehicle includes a chassis and a centrally-mounted ground-rod driver system. The chassis presents a central area. The centrally-mounted ground-rod driver system is secured to the chassis at the central area. The centrally-mounted ground-rod driver system includes a ground-rod, a driver assembly configured to drive the ground-rod into an underlying surface under the chassis, and a grounding cable associated with the ground-rod so as to allow an electrical discharge through the grounding cable, through the ground-rod, and into the underlying surface. The ground-rod is driven in beneath the central area of the chassis such that a radius of electrified ground of the underlying surface is away from a utility worker.
