The full-size Gator™ XUV can haul 454 kg (1000 lb), so load it up with confidence. You can also make fewer trips with 1814 kg (4000 lb) of towing capacity and a standard 51-mm (2-in.) receiver hitch.
Built-tough cargo box
Cargo box (shown with spray-in liner and optional taillight protectors)
Cargo box converted to flatbed
The cargo box resists dents, scratches, and rust because it is made from a tough composite material. You will have no problem securing loads with integrated tie bars and 14 tie-down points. You can also convert the cargo box to a flatbed when you need to haul big and bulky loads.
The cargo box measures 1143 mm (45 in.) long, 1320 mm (52 in.) wide, and 305 mm (12 in.) deep.
One-handed tailgate
Tailgate handle
Since your hands are always full, the tailgate can be opened and closed with one hand. You can also lower the tailgate to carry longer items or remove it for easy cleanout.
Power lift
Deluxe cargo box unloading rocks
To save your back, the optional cargo box power lift empties heavy loads with the push of a button.

Go further between fill ups
Large fuel tank fill opening
Full-size Gator™ XUVs have a large 42.8-L (11.3-gal.) fuel tank so you go further between fill ups. A 76-mm (3-in.) diameter fill opening reduce spills.

Automotive-like controls
Instrument display, shift lever, and switches (shown on XUV835R Signature Edition)
When you sit behind the wheel of a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle, you will be reminded of your favorite pick-up truck. There are controls at your fingertips, an easy-to-read instrument panel, and outlets to recharge your phone.
Shift from park and into gear with a throw of a single lever. Power steering on M- and R- trim vehicles is smooth and responsive.
When the going gets tough, you can instantly engage four-wheel drive and rear differential lock with switches. Even at night, the backlit switches are easy to see. If a front wheel starts to slip, the front differential automatically locks to pull you through.

Poor parking brake
My wife purchased a XUV835M Gator a couple of years ago. The parking brake failed after 1 1/2 years. She uses it daily and always has to park against something to prevent it from rolling. I would never recommend this product

Retired Marine loves it!
I recently purchased the 835M Honor Edition and so far my family and I love it. I like the Honor Edition design and I like that part of the proceeds go to John Deere's veteran program. The power feels good and I was surprised how nice the ride is over uneven terrain and the occasional tree branch here and there. I was wondering if the LED lights would be enough at night and to my surprise they were, it gave off a good amount of light. Overall I'm extremely happy with my purchase just as much as the 3025E that I bought over a year ago.
