The frame is extremely durable, and built to protect more fragile components of the vehicle, allowing this gator to be able to traverse through rougher terrain without risk of damage or overwear.
Ease of Operation
The XUV 825M S4 gator is convenient to use, with a convenient, tight layout featuring push-button controls. 4WD and lighting are all push-button activated. Push one button and operators have an automatic dump bed, making this gator extremely easy to use and convenient for home maintenance, reducing trips back and forth and improving overall efficiency.
Storage Capacity
Throughout the entire gator, operators have options for increasing storage capacity and cargo space. For example, the back 2 seats can collapse and become a flatbed surface for hauling materials. Operators can even extend the flatbed surface further by removing the side of the cargo box in the back, making it easy to haul longer items, such as large pieces of plywood.Attachments
The gator is highly customizable and can be paired with a wide variety of different attachments with ease. Enjoy 2-inch hitch receivers in the back and the front, allowing operators to use a wide variety of attachments to maximize their efficiency out in the field.
