A narrow track tilting vehicle includes an undercarriage centered over a contact point, an upper chassis configured to pivot about a mobile longitudinal axis, and a cradle assembly configured to allow the mobile axis to move laterally relative to the contact point. In wheeled embodiments, the configuration of the carriage allows the upper chassis to tilt in response to centrifugal forces, while allowing the wheels to remain perpendicular to a level surface along which the vehicle is traveling. When the vehicle is traveling along a surface that is canted relative to the level surface, the configuration of the carriage allows to the upper chassis to remain upright relative to the level surface, and the wheels to extend perpendicular to the canted surface.
