I hope they keep making these. Total badass machine

[@kalebv.1414]

For someone working hunting land for management this would be awesome. Haul blinds and stands. Packing out deer and such would be a breeze.

[@joshblick]

Not having "turf mode" was not due to cost, it's because it is impossible. Without directional rear tires (either axle) the 4 rears are going to fight each other during turns.

[@boris2873]

For hauling supply's & materials to a cabin in Alaska this with a cab would rock.

[@robertcruickshank5617]

Can-Am Defender 6x6 fan boy here. Going shopping. My fantasy build is at $60,000 and constantly rising.

[@mikehoshall6150]

thanks for a well done, informative video. This is probably very likely to be the type of vehicle I will be buying. How about trying to get your hands on some of the new Argo’s. Thanks, this was very good.

[@dirttraxtv]

Not a problem. We have a lot of coverage on ARGO products over the past few years. Anything in particular you are looking for? We also have a review on the Xplorer 500 coming soon.

[@genius-no5sl]

Amazing. Killer ride

[@FreedomPowersportsTX]

always quality content guys!

[@pcbmale]

the back of the frames look like you could add more sections and make a 8x8 or 10x10

[@kylestewart8049]

IDK man. i think you opened up that tailgate with one hand like a boss!

[@DUNEATV]

Lol

[@robertpeltonen9782]

Would make a great work horse around the farm.

[@dirttraxtv]

For sure.

[@nicholashollow9410]

Id love to by a 6 seater defender and just add rear subframe and long bed and get a 6x6 6 seater

[@1guyin10]

If you were wondering how to haul the lumber up the mountain for that cabin build, I think there might be a solution...

[@evvlb2]

I would like to see terf mode. Would be great for doing fire wood but in order to get the fire wood to my walk out basement I need to be on my lawn. And would rather not tear up the lawn. And the 6x6 would be great for the amount of water we have had this year.

[@bradthesing]

I was also disappointed when I found out both rear axles were locked full-time and did not have an open differential mode / turf mode. This wheeler isn't exactly cheap and for a few more bucks I think it would have been much more versatile with locking rear differentials.

[@mikem7618]

Be awesome for getting firewood out of the woods.

[@phezmann4732]

Can-Am needs to send me one so I can deuce and a half it, like now...!!! How cool would that be.

[@jeepanimal2943]

All that 'extra" space inside the rear frame could house a second fuel tank. That would extend the range of the Defender immensely. And when you're working and or playing, isn't range a good thing? Drop the sides off that thing, mount your shooting bench, and go deer/coyote/varmint hunting off the back. Throw up some camo on a small frame on the sides, instant deer blind. Friggin' cool!

[@VinceB391]

Good walk-around. It sure does look mean! What packages will this be available in? I'm picturing a 6x6 XMR, lol

[@robertcruickshank5617]

If you build it, they will come....

[@peopleslayer12333]

It's at a competitve price with other brands and models, your getting a 6x6 for the price of a 4x4 gonna purchase one here in the states and ship it over to Europe to avoid the 22% VAT by having it listed as used xD

[@mlevesque3022]

I really wish that the cab model, not the limited with AC had this option. I would trade in my 18 cab for it. This is a sportsmans dream. .. well mine any way.

[@james2042]

you can get this in a closed cab, you just have to add the doors/windshield/ect. You may be able to get it with ac idk about that, that may be limited exclusive

[@dirtobsexxionvlogs4892]

Goofy, unique, useful... Awesome

[@pauldombrowski7555]

Just imagine this as a 6 seater......whooo weee

[@1guyin10]

As long as you don't have to turn it around in the woods it would be great. A six seater would be looooonnng!

[@2_be_determined]

6 seat xmr version would be nice! I know its asking alot but 6 wheel steer aswell. Probably would cost 40grand though lol.

[@WilliamStewart1]

You're probobly talking 50.

[@mikes361]

Wow

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

Imagine if you actually drove it!

[@jenky1044]

It's a really cool looking machine. There is only 2 things that would keep me from buying this model. One is, the way the rear frame hooks to the front frame in the kind of 3 point affair. The other is the price. It's too overpriced for what you are getting. You did a great video. Thank you for sharing this info with us.

[@peopleslayer12333]

it's at a competitve price with other brands and models, you getting a 6x6 for the price of a 4x4

[@DUNEATV]

I have no use for this machine. But I want to drive it!

[@rickterrill723]

I like it but 1 problem I see is the under dash storage has no netting. And no doors? Everything is going to fall off and out. Why in the world are these missing? Other than that I could make an awsome overland vehicle with this!

[@robertcruickshank5617]

So they can sell them as accessories, and keep base price down.

[@TheRiley8]

Is there a full cab,air cond and tracks available????

[@fullthrottle2656]

This is a standard Defender with an added subframe for the extra axle. All cab components are the same. Dunno bout the tracks.

[@fauztran]

It takes 30s? I don't see much room between the two back tires.

[@robertcruickshank5617]

Yes, but. How about on the front?

[@WilliamStewart1]

You need 3 inches for 30's, looks doable to me as there appears to be 5 or so between them.

[@fauztran]

@@WilliamStewart1 If they need 3 inches each, that's 6 inches between the two back tires. That's the area that looks like a very tight squeeze or not doable without some a-arm adjustments.

[@WilliamStewart1]

@@fauztran No they would need 3 inches total, 1.5 inches on each tire.

[@mr.grouchy7429]

no problems to get the moose out of the woods now

[@robertcruickshank5617]

Headache rack with a winch mounted on it IS an accessory item. Hint, hint.

[@bobbyharvill4225]

You can buy a four wheel drive long box truck,for the amount they want.

[@fullthrottle2656]

This thing would definitely go or climb where your 4x4 longbox truck cant.

[@bobbyharvill4225]

Slingshot I had one. They are useless in the woods. It's takes forty acres to turn around. I found myself driving my jeep and leaving it at home. I sure there are places for these,but I couldn't see anything it did,that my truck couldn't. It was like 300 pounds lighter than my jeep,and it didn't have ac and a radio. Plus I could drive my jeep to the store. I need a mid size four wheeler. These things are so big,they defeat the point of an atv.

[@prestonclark1910]

Who makes the rules about if it is utility only it has to be 40hp lol and cant be over a 1000lbs pay load for the hp lol thats crazy ???????

[@MidwestPauly]

My wife would like to use this to move her planters

[@MidwestPauly]

... around the house

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

This thing is begging for mods! Too bad I missed the launch in Texas.

[@morbidslaugh]

Octacruiser just got one of these and I bet you will see a custom one soon on his channel

[@robertcruickshank5617]

@@morbidslaugh , subscribed to his channel just for that.

[@soybean70]

Top speed?

[@dirttraxtv]

Not super fast, but pretty quick. It's turning 6 tires remember so it isn't an X3...

[@Packinheat1175]

Struggles to keep the price reasonable......at $30k it’s already ridiculous.

[@robertcruickshank5617]

$18,000, base. $30,000?? That's with accessories. And a lot of them.

[@fullthrottle2656]

30k maybe in Canada

[@fullthrottle2656]

30k maybe in Canada

[@Packinheat1175]

Slingshot yes, contrary popular arrogant american belief, there are places other than the US.

[@Packinheat1175]

Robert Cruickshank when the crash starts claiming it victims I will be buying these for pennies on the dollar....anyone foolish enough to drop $30k on something like this deserves to be broke.

[@Apoc_Bone_Daddy]

Hot bro, real hot
