6×6 ATVs are bigger, tougher and stronger than the average 4×4. They have increased load capacity, better towing ability plus excellent traction due the addition of the two extra tires.
Ideal For:
- Hunting
- Snow Travel
- Extreme Conditions
- Plowing
- Heavy Work
- Towing
- Carrying A Passenger
But, not all manufacturers offer 6x6s.
Of all the big players in the ATV market, only Polaris and Can Am currently offer 6×6 ATVs.
Yamaha, Kawasaki, CF Moto, Kymco and Honda don’t offer 6×6 in their current lineups.
