A frame steered vehicle (10) has a front chassis part (12) and a rear chassis part (13). An articulated coupling (11) connecting the front chassis part (12) and the rear chassis part (13) comprises a pair of spaced-apart rigid link arms (14, 15) mounted between a rear end of the front chassis part (12) and a front end of the rear chassis part (13), that is the link arms (14, 15) are connected at or adjacent the rear end of the front chassis part (12) and at or adjacent the front end of the rear chassis part (13). The link arms (14, 15) are offset to each side of the central longitudinal axis (AB) of the vehicle (10). Each link arm (14, 15) is pivotally connected to the front chassis part (12) by a pivot connector (16, 17) and pivotally connected to the rear chassis part (13) by a pivot connector (18, 19). The link arms (14, 15) are arranged in the form of an isosceles trapezoid. Operation of steering rams (6) extending between the front chassis part (12) and the rear chassis part (13) causes the vehicle parts (12, 13) to pivot relative to each other for steering the vehicle (10).
