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 !!!

[@volvo09]

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

[@zrig1]

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

[@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

[@mwinner101]

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

[@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.

[@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😂

[@dr650tim]

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

[@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.

[@Zanderthelab]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@-Moloc-]

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

[@ml9867]

I thought it would be much heavier.

[@alphamelvin9711]

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

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Looks like fun guys.

[@abqcrutch]

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

[@oddball6969]

Id take a sherp over this any day...

[@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

[@rdeh1678]

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

[@saltymofo5870]

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

[@Ned-p1y]

Gave you a sub from Upstate New York

[@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…

[@Kjhgr01]

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

[@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.

[@jfk19780]

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

[@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 😂

[@MVTTE]

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

[@joelspaulding5964]

I was guessing 8 1/2'

[@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,,

[@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?

[@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 .

[@rlwpac96]

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

[@427Ron]

That was a great video

[@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.

[@alexmaclean1]

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

[@randysavage8963]

Insane unit looks very tippy 😂. Great video fellas

[@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

[@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.

[@FunkMasterJunk]

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

[@sudilos1172]

This the new mail truck for the hurricane disaster zones?

[@ianmacneil1727]

The monstrous tires must come at a monstrous price.

[@PaulJenner-xr4ks]

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

[@DirtyBob200X]

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

[@christopherkeene3647]

Anyone remember those 6 tire floating things in the 70s

[@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?

[@blainekresse91]

Lets see this go head to head with a sherp.

[@frankrussell2200]

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

[@donaldliverance2597]

The TUT TRUCK is the best sherp styled vehicle

[@Chef-James]

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

[@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

[@lennyross2813]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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...

[@SIC-SEMPER-TYRANNIS]

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

[@icare7151]

Awesome!

[@rdeh1678]

At least sherpa gives you a real motor

[@randytaylor1814]

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

[@keithbender6382]

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

[@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

[@lennyray42]

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

[@claudenormandeau9211]

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

[@Dan-qt7kq]

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

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

Quiet on the set!

[@larrymeadows9991]

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

[@selfaware114]

71” tires you must be 8’ tall?

[@ml9867]

The top speed is 25 mph in American.

[@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

[@jamielombardo5292]

Same problem is the pickup trucks way way overpriced

[@Semper1776Fidelis]

Hit the swamp hell, you'd have to hit a bank. Ridiculous price.

[@Marvin-fn7ks]

I think it is overpriced. I wouldn’t want to try crossing water with any real current or wind as you would be in big trouble! It needs a built in propeller. At this price it should be as nice inside as a modern farm tractor . I am happy that it is a Canadian company though .

[@EddyJean-claude]

Funny thing is...there are sherps clearly visible in my suggestions right below this clip. They're ECACTLY THE SAME!!!

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

That would be because Argo and sherp are co-brands now. They entered into an agreement over a year ago

[@JimGrimes-w6f]

They got the idea from sherp

[@JettoGospel]

That's true but the ironic thing is that they will claim the Russians copied it from them very soon cos damn Russians and Chinese copy everything.

[@JoeBlow-nh7mp]

200 000$ US for this? holy cow

[@davidnaismith2326]

Not much of a test. Compared to all the sherp videos showing it's capabilities, it didn't begin to show the vehicles limits. By the way, you are not fighting currents in that little pond. The motion is like a boat. It wants to continue on it's original path when it is floating unless you make the corrections to change that path.

[@dereklancaster2303]

Wish they were more attainable for us reg. Folks

[@bcpioneer59]

If those are 6' tall tires you must be 7'8" tall lol

[@barharborbasher249]

Exactly what I was thinking. Ridiculous

[@jeffery1524]

If I was rich enough. I would buy a house in Alaska just to get one

[@Orginal_Sinner]

When i see the name Argo i think of Star Citizen

[@perrybernard1308]

I think i would prefer an Atlas. 100 grand cheaper

[@jfarmer9808]

How many spare engines come with it Hyundai lmao yanmar or isuzu with a 70k pricetag then maybe bol argo looks like u sold 1

[@maggiemgg1]

71 inch tires,the man must be 7 ft tall

[@cattlerepairmancattlerepai9414]

A quarter Million for an ATV. Yes, right. For the super wealthy and a few commercial uses, maybe.

[@mrshort2379]

@TKPowersports i think the Sasqutch is absolutely awesome.. However every time I see content of those type of vehicles it is always in some type of marshy type or flatland never in mountainous terrain like the hills of Kentucky or Tennessee. also I know you do not care, but at those prices, it's going to be just like a Sasquatch, allusive mythical and impossible to find. a poor sure wont be owning one.

[@randybeard6040]

Don't know if those Tires could handle Mtn. Rock or Sharp Tree Limbs...

[@2011samv]

I'd spend my 200k on a critter gitter

[@neoaliphant]

but you cant sleep in it like a sherp

[@macdorfingfyrslf]

Nevermind it's priced higher than giraffepoosy😢

[@joeracerable]

More toys for rich people. Now make an affordable one for everyone else. For 200 grand it should come fully loaded.

[@shaun8256]

Twice the price, half the load capacity, a tenth the reliability with that motor. Heck 100k for a sherp is sounding not so bad if your going to get a hyundia engine for 200k. Sherp has skid plates because they know it's going off road. Turn signals mean absolutely nothing off road, how well does a touch screen work when your hands are covered in mud or when it gets wet! More than twice the price for a third the vehicle!

[@jam3sh3n13y]

Needs tinted windows

[@Major_Pipps]

Sherp is ok with this company taking their trucks and slapping a different name on it?

[@bigjay6743]

I remember when the first sherp came out they were around 50k Then people started liking them so they went up to a 100k Now they have to have all the amenities and they're a 150k how is this one worth more than a sherp. Cool toy but I'd rather buy another house. They have such a dead simple drive train I don't understand how they are so much money.

[@gordonbyron5145]

Chinese made diesel engine, $2000 Few square meters of aluminium sheet, $1000 Transmission, $2000 4 big tires, $3000 Other random parts. $2500 MSRP = $145,000

[@kennethalbert4653]

$240,000 !

[@ElJeFe556]

Did anyone know that Argo purchased the Sherp company only for a short time before Sherp purchased the company back because Argo was trying to put cheaper parts and an inferior enging in the sherp? So the answer is NO, argo CANT build a better Sherp.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

You need to educate yourself kid. They didn't purchase them and they didn't purchase themselves back. They entered into an agreement as co-brands. It's a partnership. Educate yourself kid before flapping your lips on the topic you don't understand
