New 2013 John Deere Gator RSX 850i Sport
Edition UTV |
Since the creation of the John Deere All Materials
Transport (AMT) in 1987, an event that launched
the entire Utility Vehicle (UV) category, and
the development of the first Gator UV in 1992,
John Deere has built a reputation for durability,
utility and safety. The addition of advanced power,
high top speed and precision handling signal the
next step in evolution for the Gator line of utility
vehicles.
"The Gator takes a huge
evolutionary step forward with
the launch of the new Gator
RSX850i," said David Gigandet,
marketing manager, Gator utility
vehicles. "Gators have
always been known for durability,
utility and safety. The RSX
maintains all these qualities
at its core, but the incredible
power, exhilarating speed and
precision handling are what
set it apart in our portfolio.
It’s the Gator fully evolved."
To bring about these changes, the team at John
Deere collaborated with design and engineering
consultants for Formula One and NASCAR to create
an allnew vehicle. The Gator RSX is the direct
result.
