A mounting arrangement for a powertrain of a vehicle, the powertrain comprising an engine operable to produce a torque about a torque axis and the mounting arrangement comprising: a primary coupling connected at a primary mounting point of the powertrain and configured to securely couple the powertrain to a structural member of the vehicle; and, connected between the powertrain and one or more structural members of the vehicle: a pair of pitch control struts configured to substantially inhibit movement of the powertrain in directions perpendicular to the torque axis; and a roll control strut configured to substantially inhibit rotational motion of the engine about the torque axis; wherein the pitch control and roll control struts are connected to the powertrain and the one or more structural members of the vehicle at strut mountings configured to compliantly resist movements of the powertrain about the primary coupling in a direction parallel to the torque axis.
