Make boredom eat dust. With available 50 hp,*
44 MPH top speed, trail-tuned suspension, mountain-scaling 4WD, and the cargo capacity to carry a freezer full back,
these all-new Crossover Utility Vehicles will never let you live life in idle.
Bragging rights? Check.
You're looking at the most advanced engine available in a UTV. Featuring a breakthrough 50 HP*, with three-cylinders, 12 valves, Dual Overhead Cams (for breathtaking aspiration)—plus a massive 75-amp alternator to power every accessory. Makes other UTV engines look ordinary.
Brute power isn't the whole story. A patent-pending vari-throttle improves everything from low-speed creeping to the response needed taking on a rock-and-roll trail. EFI self-corrects for altitude, so it runs as smooth at base camp as it will on the summit.
In short, this is the engine that knows it can.
855D Engine
Diesel that delivers. 854cc's generate 25 HP*, making the 855D the most powerful diesel in its class.†
†Heavy-duty utility vehicle class
Features
Powder coat electrostatic paint
Automotive-quality electrostatic paint fights corrosion by covering components more completely, providing a longer lasting, tougher finish.
Integrated winch mount
2" front and rear receivers with integrated ridged steel tow hooks
Engineered tooled steel chin guard
Cast-Iron A Arms
Engineered ductile front cast-iron A-Arms balance strength and weight and are designed to withstand jackhammer trails.
Automotive-tolerance ball joints
JD Loy Plastic
Advanced, paintable JD polymers on the XUV are much more scratch-, impact- and UV-resistant than standard polymers.
Hydroformed frame
Milk makes bones strong. Water makes steel strong. Hydroformed steel frame allows for fewer welded and bolted joints providing superior durability and exceptional tolerance for twisting under heavy loads.
Full-steel skid plates, not plastic.
Mother Nature fights dirty. That's why Gator XUVs are equipped with 9-gauge steel underbody protection, not the plastic you'll find underneath other UTVs.
Tough Clutch belts
Our double-cogged, Aramid-cord, high-wear-resistance fiberreinforced
rubber construction belts are designed to wear slowly, and virtually eliminate catastrophic tears.
High-strength steel stamping in rear carrier
Underneath that largest cargo box in the industry, you'll find an equally impressive foundation of carefully engineered steel mounts for the suspension.
It's not about tweaking specifications so they look good on paper.
It's about getting your hands dirty, and your knuckles scraped out on real proving grounds—to make sure in advance that reality doesn't twist your engineering design into a pretzel. Only this level of punishing evaluation can guarantee that a vehicle can really perform like you expect, day-in and day-out.
These new XUVs survived over 20,000 hours of blistering real-world testing in one of the harshest environments in the United States.
A solid core steel sway bar reduces body lean and employs an incredibly efficient double-ball drop-link for increased durability.
Low-effort rack-and pinion steering
Let's face it, about .001% of trails are straight. The rest have hidden curves, whoop-de-doos, and oh yeah, they're all helpfully paved with loose rock, dirt, and sand. That's why you want an XUV in your corner, with its precision-tuned handling, body-roll-reducing
double-wishbone suspension and on-demand traction.
You can choose from three traction modes: Pick 2WD for the best maneuverability and turf friendliness, or flip the dash-mounted switch for maneuverable on-demand 4WD that shifts torque to both front wheels only when the rear wheels begin to slip.
Stable cornering
An unequal-length double wishbone suspension helps maintain excellent cornering force, but is designed to maintain control in challenging situations. Extensive skid-pad testing verified predictable handling with and without a fully loaded cargo box.
True On-Demand 4WD
Switch between a perfectly turf friendly traction mode to a locked rear diff to On-Demand True 4WD for maximum traction
for the most challenging terrain. (In this mode, a sophisticated electronic interlock engages to prevent all power from being
transferred to a wheel that has lost all traction.)
Automotive-style braking system. Massive twin piston 8.25"
hydraulic disc brakes bring you to a stop, pronto. And a 66% front
brake bias helps prevent rear axle from locking up during sudden
stops, so you maintain control. Ultimately, the system delivers incredible responsiveness with the right feel at all times.
Balanced performance
When you load the box, you don't want a "see-saw" effect to occur that lifts the front end and makes it hard to steer. That's why we designed the XUV to keep the front tires where they belong, even when lugging maximum cargo.
Tires for any terrain
Pick from 27" Maxxis BigHorn 2.0 Radials for best ride quality and durability in any
situation, standard 26" Ancla XTs with stiff side walls and deep lugs for good
handling and mudding, and 25" Terra Hawk AT tires for excellent handling and low impact on turf.
Race-bred clutching design
TEAM Industries' clutch on the XUVs gives you power, torque, and a shot of adrenaline.
To attack any trail, you've got to have three things:
A smooth ride that impresses you every time you turn the key.
A seriously capable suspension.
And rock-solid stability (with and without a load).
These XUVs have all three. Making the world your confidence course.
OPS
Occupant Protection System with multiple passenger side handholds and 3-point seat belts is SAE, ANSI and OSHA ROPS certified
High Ground Clearance
11-inches of ground clearance prevent the XUV from getting high-centered even on extremely uneven terrain.
Custom-engineered shocks
Long-travel suspension includes customengineered twin-tube shocks extensively modified and tested to ensure exceptional durability and a superior ride with max or no cargo.
Lubricated pivot points
Instead of non-lubricated pivots, all 18 suspension pivots on Gator XUVs are greasable for smoother, quieter and longer-lasting performance.
Gator VS. Gravity
The XUV offers excellent stability thanks to a wide-stance, lowcenter of gravity and long wheelbase. These vehicles have one of the highest calculated Static Stability Factors in the industry. (This measurement of a vehicle's resistance to rollover, endorsed by the
National Academy of Sciences and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is the track width divided by two times the height of the center of gravity height.)
Independent double-wishbone suspension
Impressive front and rear suspension travel (8-in. in front and 9-in.to rear) set a comfortable new standard traversing rocks, stumps and whoa-nellies.
Spring preload adjustment
Suspension can be easily adjusted for varying payloads.

Get things done, fast.
Every XUV offers 1,500 pounds of towing and 1,400 pounds of payload capacity*, plus is equipped with a cargo box that's the biggest in its class. Controls are smartly placed to maximize efficiency.
You can add a power lift, a winch and much more. Plus our unique Quick Clamp system
lets you install attachments without using a single tool. No wonder these are the
vehicles that will get you to the finish line first.
Everywhere you look, you'll find automotive-quality fit-and-finish.
Choose the seating option that's most comfortable to you.
See Options PDF for all available bench and bucket seats.
Flat-bed Mode Composite cargo box sides can be removed in minutes to convert to a flat-bed mode— perfect for carrying large, awkward loads.
*A word about towing capability.
Even though the XUV series includes the most powerful engine in its class, we recommend a vehicle should not tow more than its weight. Other manufacturers follow different guidelines when calculating recommended towing capacities.
Standard integrated front and rear 2 inch receiver hitches with tow hooks.
Standard gas assist or
automatic power lift
A standard gas assist
shock makes lifting and
dumping effortless. Add
an optional power lift kit
and conveniently raise
and lower bed with a
press of a button.
Integrated cargo management. Exclusive Quick-Clamp attaching system enables adding attachments like tool racks, divider walls and fuel containers to the cargo box in seconds. No tools needed. Plus since the clamps attach to rails, they offer almost infinite positioning flexibility.
