New XUVs Provide Off-Road Performance, Comfort,
and Multi-Passenger Capability
John Deere
Expands Its Line-Up of Gator™ Crossover Utility
Vehicles
John Deere GatorTM Mid-Duty XUV 550 S4
John Deere GatorTM Mid-Duty XUV 550 |
CARY, NC — Now it’s easier than ever to
conquer tough terrain and bring your buddies
and gear along for the ride. The new John Deere
GatorTM Mid-Duty XUV 550 and 550 S4 crossover
utility vehicles offer off-road performance,
improved comfort, cargo versatility, and the
ability to transport up to 4 people across the
most challenging landscapes.
"These new vehicles provide an unparalleled
balance of off-road performance and work
capability at a very affordable price," said
David Gigandet, tactical marketing manager,
Gator utility vehicles. "The new John Deere
Gator XUV 550 and 550 S4 are a great
compliment to our popular line-up of XUVs, and
offer the most comfortable way to get you,
your crew, and all your supplies to those
hard-to-reach destinations."
With best-in-class, fully independent, double
wishbone suspension, the Gator XUV 550 and
550 S4 provide 9-inches of wheel travel, and up
to 10.5-inches of ground clearance to smooth
out the ride. In addition, for the 550, you can
choose from either standard high back bucket
seats or bench seats. The 550 S4 comes standard
with 2 rows of bench seats.
“Operators will not only appreciate the
smooth ride, they’ll love the all new
ergonomically designed operator station,”
continued Gigandet. “The development of these
new Gators started in the operator’s station, so
they offer ample leg room, storage and dash
mounted, automotive-type, controls.”
The Gator XUV 550 and 550 S4 deliver mid-duty
work capability with speed and ease. Both
vehicles have a top speed of 28 mph, and 4-wheel
drive to quickly traverse all types of
terrain. The 16-hp, 570 cc, air-cooled, v-twin
gas engine provides greater speed and
horsepower than most vehicles in its class, and
the cargo box can carry up to 400 lbs of
gear. In addition, the 550 is small enough to
fit in the bed of a standard pick-up truck.
For a larger crew and cargo versatility, the
550 S4 provides rear seat flexibility.
Two additional passengers can be transported
in the rear seat, or if more cargo capacity is
needed, the rear seat flips down to become a
cargo rack.
“The rear seat flexibility in the Gator XUV
550 S4 is truly innovative,” said Gigandet. “The
S4 can transport up to 4 people, but for the
times when you need to carry more gear, the back
seat can become more useful in seconds and
increase your cargo space by 32 percent.”
The new Gator XUV 550 models are available in
Realtree Hardwoods™ HD Camo or traditional John
Deere green and yellow.
There are also over 75 available attachments
and accessories to customize all Gator XUV
models, such as, cabs, brush guards, and custom
alloy wheels.
In addition to the XUV 550 and 550 S4, John
Deere also offers the 625i, 825i and the 855D to
round out its full line of crossover utility
vehicles.
