For those who need a utility vehicle designed for rugged terrain and extreme conditions, John Deere offers two new additions to its Gator lineup.
The gas-powered Gator HPX615E and the diesel-powered Gator HPX815E offer four-wheel drive as well as enhanced payload, cargo capacity, towing and overall stability.Most notably, the cargo box features removable sides and tailgate, a one-handed, pickup style opening, and is designed to last with durable composite construction that makes it dent, rattle and rust-resistant.
The new Gators also offer more cargo volume, up to 16.3 cubic feet. And the cargo box can be transformed to a flatbed for carrying large, irregular shaped cargo.
Both new models boast new styling, 1,000-pound cargo capacity, 1,300-pound towing capacity and 1,400-pound payload capacity. Optimal weight distribution, 6-inches (152.4 mm) of ground clearance and four-wheel drive allow both the gas- and diesel-powered models to tackle most types of terrain and go places many other vehicles cannot.
