Powerful 518cc engine

This 518cc engine is optimized for low-rpm torque and features electronic fuel injection, providing improved performance 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 control it yourself with its paddles. You can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!

Reduced cabin heat

The cabin’s interior is designed to reduce heat, creating a cooler, more comfortable environment. Now, those hot days—whether you’re working or out on the trail—will be far more bearable.

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 accommodates a range of Pro-Connect® system accessories.

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.

Smoother shifting

Our purpose-built engine is paired with specially calibrated transmission shift mapping, designed to ensure smooth gear changes and seamless torque for an enhanced 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 performance with its Occupant Protection Structure, which meets the applicable ISO rollover protection standard, integrated handholds, recessed top tubes, and hard doors with side nets to help keep the cabin secure. Automotive-style three-point seat belts help keep everyone safe.

Single-function door/net

Doors come standard and feature an occupant net that is directly attached. Unlock the door, and the net swings aside for easier entry and exit.

Side-by-side seating

A spacious bench-style seat with individual backrests and seatbelts for both the driver and passenger enhances comfort, safety, and maneuverability.

Towing and hauling

This side-by-side is versatile and highly capable. It features a bed capacity of 450 pounds, a towing capacity of 1000 pounds, and a front locking differential for both 2WD and 4WD.
