Prowler 550i XT

MY 2013

We belong outside. It’s a simple fact. Doesn’t matter where. We just do. Could be up at the cabin putting in the boat, getting to that deer stand deep in the woods or helping bale hay at an uncle’s farm. Wherever. Thing is, you and a partner have to get there. And no other machine does it with as much versatility and sheer determination as a Prowler. This machine understands your yearning. It’s as natural and powerful as the outdoors itself.

XT Package

The XT is hardly your typical base model. Especially with cool features like a tilting rear cargo box, front and rear 2-inch receivers, fully independent suspension, aluminum rims, 10 inches of ground clearance and a 550 H1 engine — all the essentials you need.
