Arctic Cat’s
sales success in the UTV industry has been monumental
since the introduction of the Prowler XT in
2006. Combining sporty features while not losing
any of its functional “work” qualities,
the highly agile Prowler line is chock full
of all the rugged functionality found on an
Arctic Cat ATV, but packaged in a chassis scaled
for power, maneuverability and ease of side-by-side
driving. For 2008 Arctic Cat expands to a three
model line-up with the addition of the Prowler
XTX 700 EFI.
The cab of every Prowler is equipped with dual
bucket seats and driver/passenger seat belts,
a center console complete with drink holders
and dual 12v accessory plugs. The open air cab
has a full canopy and various storage compartments
like a dash mounted tray shelf, glove box with
door and an easily accessible molded tool kit
located under the passenger-side seat.
Keeping true to Arctic Cat ATV heritage, the
Prowler was designed to conquer any job when
it comes to storage and hauling capacities.
Lift the hood on any Prowler and you will find
a storage compartment that can hold 25lbs of
hunting supplies, tools, and can double as a
cooler to store ice. The composite cargo bed
resists rust and cracking so you can throw in
600lbs. (325lbs. for XTX) of the harshest payloads
and the Prowler won’t even whimper.
Hardcore jobs and hardcore fun are only executed
when provided with Arctic Cat-built engines,
drivetrain and suspension systems. Born and
bred at Arctic Cat you can now choose between
two powerhouse motors; the 650H1, a 641cc, 4-stroke
torque monster, or the new 700 H1 EFI, a 695cc,
4-stroke with Electronic Fuel Injection for
positive performance in most temperature or
elevation changes. The Duramatic automatic transmission
with Low, High, Neutral and Reverse is as easy
to use as an Arctic Cat ATV; just gas it and
go.
Arctic Cat engineers have laid to rest the
claims of “best” suspension travel
and ground clearance by other manufacturers.
The front and rear suspensions are Fully Independent
with a double A-arm front design and a double
a-arm rear design with 10” of suspension
travel for sure footed offroad prowess. Spring
preload adjustable shocks are used on all four
corners for the ultimate in terrain and load
adjustability, while off-roading capabilities
are enhanced by 13” of ground clearance,
a front locking 4wd differential and rear mounted
swaybar for improved trail driving. Those wanting
a more turf-friendly UTV will love the new Prowler
XTX with Auto Locking Turf Saving rear differential
– The rear differential remains open unless
wheel slip is sensed, then both rear wheels
lock for improved traction with no buttons or
levers to pull like the competition.
Cast aluminum 14” wheels with black
painted inlays are standard (XT, XTX), and steel
14” wheels (Prowler), with 26x8-14 Goodyear
MTR front tires and 26x11-14 Goodyear MTRs in
the rear for the ultimate in offroad traction.
Once again, Arctic Cat provides a new category
entrant that holds true to the More to Go On
slogan. The Prowler line-up provides More comfort,
More motor choices and More Fun in a variety
of prices.
