Argo, known for its commercial 6- and 8-wheeled amphibious XTVs and the Sasquatch XTX, announced its latest commercial vehicle: the all-new XU 850 side by side. It features bench seating for 3 or 6 people in the XU 850 Crew, a 1,000-lb rear cargo box, and 12.5 inches of ground clearance.
Powered by a 4-stroke, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, the XU 850 delivers 48 lb-ft of torque. The upgraded suspension system provides control and comfort, even with a full load, while its 2,000-lb towing capacity and 4,500-lb winch equip operators to handle utility challenges. The standard heavy-duty rear cargo headache rack, full-coverage roof, windshield, beacon light, horn and back up alarm make this vehicle ready for any commercial jobsite.
The new Argo XU 850 shares some features and specifications with the Arctic Cat Prowler UTV, and the two companies connected recently when Argo CEO Brad Darling lead the acquisition of Arctic Cat from Textron. Darling was an executive at Arctic Cat prior to his work with Argo.
Visitors to this year’s Utility Expo are invited to stop by the Argo booth N-1325 to discover the complete lineup of amphibious and off-road solutions.
