Adventure-ready utility
Powerful 518cc engine
The 518cc engine is optimized for low-rpm torque and has electronic fuel injection for better running in cold weather and at high altitudes. The five-speed automatic transmission provides ample pulling power.
Automatic transmission with AT/MT mode
You can let the automatic transmission shift for you or shift yourself with its paddles. You can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!
Tilt/dump bed
The tilt/dump bed measures 38.7" x 25.9" x 9.8" and can carry up to 450 pounds. The assist strut makes dumping easy, and the bed accepts a host of Pro-Connect™ system accessories.
Compact 50-inch width and 2WD/4WD
The 50-inch width is perfect for narrow trails and easy storage, fitting in most full-sized pickup trucks. Plus you can choose between 2WD or 4WD, optimizing for the conditions and terrain to give lighter steering or maximum traction.
Compact, capable, reliable
Closed-loop fuel injection
Better cold-weather and high-altitude running, effortless startups, great fuel efficiency, and less pollution—that’s what the “closed loop” fuel injection system means for you. Talk about a win-win.
Dual-rate springs
Dual-rate springs offer a smoother ride over small bumps, better resistance to bottoming on big bumps, and a more confident steering feel.
Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)
Fully independent rear suspension means a smooth ride, especially over rough terrain.
Smooth-shifting
Our purpose-built engine is paired with special transmission shift mapping for smooth shifts and seamless torque, creating a better overall riding experience.
Paddle shifters
If you want to shift manually, you can upshift and downshift without ever taking your hands off the wheel. You can choose the exact gear you want, and it’s engineered for precise, smooth shifts.
Semi-dry-sump engine
The overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates a compact and lighter engine that boosts handling capabilities with a low center of gravity and favorable ground clearance.
Driver/passenger protection
This vehicle prioritizes safety with its Occupant Protection Structure that meets ISO's rollover protection standard, integrated handholds, recessed top tubes, and hard doors with side nets to keep the cabin secure. Automotive-style three-point seat belts keep everyone safe.
Single-function door/net
Doors are standard, and the occupant net is directly attached. Unlock the door, and the net swings aside for easier entry and exit.
Side-by-side seating
A wide bench-style seat, individual backrests, and seatbelts for both driver and passenger make it comfortable and highly maneuverable.
Towing and hauling
This side-by-side vehicle is useful and has a lot to offer. It features a 450-pound bed capacity, a 1000-pound towing capacity, and a 2WD/4WD system
