To enable, in a vehicle including a variable trail length mechanism, stiffness of a front wheel surrounding structure to be increased in an ordinary traveling state in which a trail length is positive. A vehicle includes a vehicle body (10) and a front wheel that is disposed anterior to the vehicle body (10) and that is steerable about a steering axis (Cs). The vehicle body (10) includes a vehicle body frame (11) and a steering rotation unit (13) that is supported on the vehicle body frame (11) and that rotates about the steering axis (Cs). The vehicle includes a variable trail length mechanism (30). The variable trail length mechanism (3)0 varies a trail length of the front wheel and includes an oscillation unit (41) and a torsion reduction portion (102). The oscillation unit (41) is connected with the steering rotation unit (13) so as to be oscillatable in a fore-aft direction and supports the front wheel. The torsion reduction portion (102) reduces torsion of the oscillation unit (41) in a vehicle width direction through the oscillation unit (41) combined with the steering rotation unit (13) under a condition in which the trail length is changed such that the front wheel is disposed at a rearmost position.
