A Better Sherp? Argo Sasquatch In-Depth Review - We Hit the Swamp in This Amphibious Beast

[@wayne-oo]

An explanation of the drive system ! Was bit by the old Argo chain drive systems that were junk ! Info on transmission,and drive line would be helpful !!!

[@jtg4002]

For 200k+, I’ll keep my 4x4 and johnboat.

[@gordonbyron5145]

Yes the price is absurd

[@genesutton6383]

200,000 how can you justify that. For that I could buy a little bit of land a house to live in. Then get truck and a side-by-side and a Jon boat I can go anywhere. 200 Grand

[@zrig1]

1/4 million ... There goes that idea for deer season.

[@bivouaqc]

That's funny. I was trying to come up with an easy way to lift a deer into the back.

[@volvo09]

Being able to go anywhere is crazy. The sherp style vehicles are one of a kind. Lightweight with balloon tires.

[@ray9880]

Needs to go thro the middle of Newfoundland during winter. Or go to Labrador on cains quest route. Try out the durability and reliability that way. The price OMG.

[@benmayhew373]

Great video gents. One question, how do you get the ladder and door/window closed once you are up and in it if you are alone or 2 people are going and nobody is left outside of it? 👍🇨🇦

[@tkpowersports]

If you take a look at 6:19 you'll see a steel cable that's attached to the bottom of the steps up to the inside of the cab and a pull handle hanging down from the glass. Those are there to pull the glass down and the steps up from inside.

[@benmayhew373]

​@@tkpowersportsawesome thanks

[@mwinner101]

Looks awesome! I’m looking forward to your snow review.

[@-Moloc-]

Surprisingly heavy, didn't think these would be 5200lbs.

[@ml9867]

I thought it would be much heavier.

[@dr650tim]

The horn and light switch looks exactly like a Kioti tractor part!

[@12B0692]

Super fun vehicle. Definitely for industry and the super wealthy...but, imagine a scaled down version! A kit vehicle that checks some the best boxes here.

[@bigjay6743]

They had one The original sherp was 50k And it was just dead simple. Apparently people are so soft they all need air conditioner and a 1000 buttons😂

[@CamoShirt]

buy a skid steer and modify it

[@liamrobinson2084]

Great video! Is Argo making these, or are they just a rebadged Sherp? Are there mechanical differences?

[@tkpowersports]

It is not a rebadged Sherp. It's an Argo designed vehicle and it's built in New Hamburg, On.

[@vladshcolnik2624]

This is simply a stolen Sherp design. They were Sherp distributors and took advantage of it.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

​@@tkpowersportsfyi. Argo and sharp are a co-brands now. Have been for about a year or more

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

Argo and sherp entered in a co-branding about a year ago

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

​@@vladshcolnik2624Sharp and Argo are co-brands now they entered an agreement

[@mikewieggers3139]

Argo and Sherp had an arrangement a few years ago. I'm not too sure what Argo got out of the deal, but Sherp got use of Agro's distribution network. I'm thinking that Agro got access to Sherp's drawings and specs.

[@ostacruiser]

Bingo

[@Grenvilleter]

Really cool machine but, no access port to swing a fishing rod thru. Seriously, give floatable features on a smaller machine so I can drive 20 kms to a nice trout lake and drive over to my fav spot to catch me a trail lunch.

[@PowhiroMus]

I think you miss the application for Search and Rescue that we use a very old Argo open 6wd for. Not quite adequately. Our landscape is mostly flat farm open fields, rivers and then vast desert sand and then where water is, small head high dense scrub and rocky terrain. Plus when it rains or a cyclone drops by, a deep bottomless, clinging , impassable mud appears and everything else is flooded. We are too remote for an easy helicopter or anything else so we make do. We run flood boats and then wade big 4WDs where possible but the Rescue function often means locating people and then carrying or swimming them out on a raft to a road access point to where medics and ambulances wait. This Argo Sasquatch would be a gift from the Gods! Another important role is in searches, getting there fast by road, deploying and doing a first, fast search by UTVs to do a quick scout of the most likely and then if unsuccessful, the long slow, intensive search on foot by search teams checking thoroughly each square of the search area with UTVs running the perimeter, ferrying supplies like food and water, medical supplies or retrieving injured searchers. And then, if the search is successful, recovering often stretcher-bound subject or sometimes, carrying out the body bag over long distances of rough ground, often in high heat that kills the unprepared. Our team would love two of these, with trailers for 1,000km fast "road" deployments, support for our comms gear and capacity for carrying at least 1 stretcher and medic in attendance, medical gear like a defib and diagnostics to inform the hospital. Just the task of rolling down 10 or 20km of a remote, deserted sandy beach to look for a body washing ashore, this Argo would be great.

[@kingrider75]

You could by a helicopter with thermal imaging cheaper than one of these things😂😂😂

[@secondmouse9458]

Great review, if they were less expensive I would have one already.

[@Briz-j8z]

A loaded tracked Argo is $ 50k, 4x4 diesel pick up $ 120k . These are not toys.

[@UserFormelyKnownAs_hjkh]

Nice to see argo finally do something other than the ol' trusty 6x6 or 8x8 with a ower engine

[@alphamelvin9711]

I'm more impressed with the old square body in the background...

[@doubled3983]

Hello from Oklahoma! Interesting. After the specs part its best to turn the sound off. The dudes needs to lay off the constant jibber jabber. It would've been nice to hear the machine. Just my opinion.

[@Ofna211]

The old father and son on you tube is a recipe for fast forwarding…

[@Zanderthelab]

I wish my father was a dad to me like your dad is to you!

[@13ratchet]

I remember doing a test drive in Yukon in one of these , they just badged it this is from europe somewhere , anyway it does go anywhere

[@abqcrutch]

That's a cool & super capable. I was laughing along with you guys.

[@ledebuhr1]

I still don't see why that should cost $190k. Dose Sherp have a patent on that design and Argo is paying a high license fee to build them.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Dude, it's got a stereo. 😁

[@lpdirv]

Its a semi custom vehicle with low production rates. For the oil patch, this is a good work vehicle. And if you think its overkill you probably have never worked in northern Canada. Compared to chartering a helicopter its quite reasonable, especially when working in Muskeg.

[@larrywoolford8978]

@@lpdirvAgreed , a lot of these comments are coming from guys who are comparing these machines to a SxS and they are not that, they are an industrial machine not a toy .

[@saltymofo5870]

Well, I now know what happened to Thurmon Murmon after his Bad Santa gig played out

[@tmur2124]

Maybe i missed it but If it rolls in the mud or the water onto its roof is there a hatch in the floor to escape if your unable to open the doors?

[@deapthynka1]

It's bottom heavy (low center of gravity ). I think it would self right. and the front hatch opens like a Gull Wing which would work in your favorite if the thing is sitting on its roof upside down.

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Looks like fun guys.

[@oddball6969]

Id take a sherp over this any day...

[@tylermacconnell217]

$200k and you get a Hyundai engine? Yuck.

[@robqwertyuipp8750]

According to the Argo dealer website it is 240 000 plus taxes and fees . Expensive

[@bradleytalbot8618]

100,000 mile warranty!!!!

[@tkpowersports]

For what it's worth it's actually a Doosan turbo diesel. Hyundai acquired Doosan and just put its name on the engine.

[@Uhmm485]

Well, Hyundai makes some pretty decent heavy machinery. The world is a big place outside of the US.

[@jasonsparks4601]

Tell us you don't know that Hyundai is a major player in commercial/industrial vehicles worldwide....the government has given you the version of their vehicles we see in America.

[@extreme978]

$190 thousand dollars??😮I thought your fan base was regular people, blue collars. I could see maybe $25k for this silly toy, but for 200k, id buy a house!

[@dfro7159]

It’s an industry tool. Only a toy for the rich. They are very useful and remarkable in what they can tackle

[@InChristAloneForever]

Built in Canada. That raises the price right there.

[@T410ce]

The price isn’t surprising in today’s economy. Have you seen what a Can-Am Defender is going for? Top of the line 4 door defender is like $40,000 😂

[@Ned-p1y]

Gave you a sub from Upstate New York

[@rdeh1678]

It's cool , but the sherp has one huge advantage and that you can sleep in it

[@Kjhgr01]

I would have like to have this when Hurricane Milton hit us last week!

[@sudilos1172]

This the new mail truck for the hurricane disaster zones?

[@jfk19780]

omg...i just ordered a case of these .. didnt have to pay shipping and handling on the latter

[@jameslewis8879]

Love the Trailer Park Boys reference

[@MVTTE]

71” inch tires and they’re up to his shoulder? Is bro 9 feet tall?

[@joelspaulding5964]

I was guessing 8 1/2'

[@rlwpac96]

At the price some folks are saying- I can’t even finish watching the video. Who is the intended market?

[@FunkMasterJunk]

I got to wonder what that thing would do in the water with a little wind.

[@stephaneracicot791]

ya super fun .....Tabarnaque that thing flips on its side so easy i know.....keep your argos guys go moose hunt in cutover with that and see way way up northern ontario...and try it in a cut over you will flip it first day out,,,down south ontario always nice perfect.. trailer it up for 700km highway then another 150km logging road then youl see cochrabe ontario area,,

[@427Ron]

That was a great video

[@alexmaclean1]

Now I just want one a little more manageable in size but of similar design lol

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

Elephant driving 😊

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

Especially in winter 🥶❄️😢 time

[@yorkchris10]

I wonder if every region will make these kind of machines like the tracked vehicles. There must be a maintenance advantage. Foremost makes some very large tracked vehicles. I think Perkins were used quite a bit for the smaller vehicles, but maybe support went to China anyways.

[@Just_Joe71]

Are they good in the deep snow?

[@a-a-ronname1319]

I would take a sherp. I want the SUV to store stuff and sleep in back. How is a truck bed helpful?

[@scottrocher1388]

When did Sherp stop making these for Argo?

[@vladshcolnik2624]

This is simply a stolen Sherp design. They were Sherp distributors and took advantage of it.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

​@@vladshcolnik2624incorrect sharp and Argo are co-brands. Now. You need to educate yourself kid. I suggest you quit flapping your lips on the topic you don't understand

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

Sharp and Argo are a co-brand now. They entered into an agreement over a year ago

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

Especially the purpose 😊

[@frankrussell2200]

Looks great. Can it keep up with a sherp Pro 1000.

[@nickibateson1466]

Do they sell one with less electronics in it ? I would like one that’s very very simple air for the tiers that’s about it really.

[@christopherkeene3647]

Anyone remember those 6 tire floating things in the 70s

[@AnotherReincarnation_No84]

Very little internal volume, what is the use for this vehicle in the cold if you can't sleep in it? Deck is quite useless too

[@mikeb1039]

Happy to see a north american sourced Sherp, but the price!

[@ianmacneil1727]

The monstrous tires must come at a monstrous price.

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

Jumps up... on 🎯😎

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

In downtown 😊

[@Gastronaught]

I'm sure a small water jet could be fitted? For a quarter of a million they should.

[@randysavage8963]

Insane unit looks very tippy 😂. Great video fellas

[@lennyross2813]

The problem I have with sherpas is that when you turn you lose power to half of traction to the wheels.

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

I think it's the same Company 🤗

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

My impression is 😊

[@bogey19018]

71" tires?

[@DirtyBob200X]

If you can afford it, it would be the ultimate hunting vehicle.

[@Chef-James]

I'd like to see this top heavy toy cross a river with some swift current.

[@allenwilmot6313]

Nice machine❤❤

[@selfaware114]

71” tires you must be 8’ tall?

[@blainekresse91]

Lets see this go head to head with a sherp.

[@claudenormandeau9211]

I wondered what happened to you. We haven't seen you for some time when you were with TFL.

[@rdeh1678]

At least sherpa gives you a real motor

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

Next to BMW X 5 😎

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

Argo is cute 🥰

[@robertheintz8017]

This guy hasn't missed too many meals. lol

[@NewfieRC]

Try out a new Aodes ATV or UTV! Give us an opinion on one of them compared to say a CF Moto and a CAN AM

[@randytaylor1814]

Fuel saw etc in the back enclosed tent above back ...nice potential ...100 k less ...

[@1ofmanyforJesus]

I was thinking it was 20 grand at the most. 240 grand is a lot of fun machines and a vacation or five.

[@joelspaulding5964]

20k?😂 TBF, I was thinking 100k. A side by side can go 40k

I've seen Canadian quads 😊

[@SIC-SEMPER-TYRANNIS]

I have a 2000 Argo 6x6 bigfoot. It's a POS that gets stuck in a foot of snow.

[@randybeard6040]

Large Companies could afford these Machines as they could write them off-cost of doing business but for common folks, they are rather Pricy...

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

If Argo tips over 🙃

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

🚜 Deer 🦌😊 John 🦌 Is RR 🥰

[@keithbender6382]

Put a shagt driven turbo prop in the water with it n watch it move in that water

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

To examine Location 😊

[@Pnwelkhunter]

40 kilometers is like 18 miles an hour slow. Plus, why would an off road vehicle be controlled by a touch screen?

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

If it's bullet proof 😎

[@icare7151]

Awesome!

[@ronsmith6233]

looks like a GAMAGOAT. One of the Army's bigest mistakes. Made in the lat 70's they lasted about a year.

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

It looks like Elephant 🐘🦏

[@lennyray42]

Even when used on marketplace these things are still ridiculously priced.

[@adamboldra6210]

Nice

[@neoaliphant]

but you cant sleep in it like a sherp

[@larrymeadows9991]

Very would If I had a use I would get this bad boy

[@Dan-qt7kq]

Good for Argo. They made a great machine, but just not practical. So I hope this takes off.

[@tigranpetrosyan5975]

If it's an expedition 😊 Maybe 😏

[@ml9867]

The top speed is 25 mph in American.
