A vehicle includes a chassis, and a drivetrain supported by the chassis. The drivetrain includes a prime mover and a transmission mechanically linked to the prime mover. At least one dynamically adjustable engine mount connects the drivetrain to the chassis. The at least one dynamically adjustable engine mount includes a selectively adjustable parameter. One or more sensors is associated with the vehicle. The one or more sensors is operable to detect one or more vehicle parameters. A control system is operatively connected to the at least one dynamically adjustable engine mount and the one or more sensors. The control system is operable to alter the selectively adjustable parameter of the at least one dynamically adjustable mount to substantially isolate the chassis from lateral shudder of the drivetrain in response to the one or more vehicle parameters.
