Does anyone have any experience with both Bigfoot & the new Frontier?

I have a 2000 Bigfoot...just wondering how the new steering, brakes, hp, and longer wheelbase compare?

I've talked to a few people about them and they think the difference is almost night and day. A friend of mine says he'll do things with the Frontier that he could/would not with his Bigfoot.

The gear ratio change in the gearbox makes a world of difference when using a track. The bigfoot lost 1/2 it's power with tracks, almost none on the new models.

I read a post that the Frontier was good in high climbing some decent hills. I may need to try one...

I have no personal experience with driving the Argo Frontier (or any Argo, for that matter), but I do know that I lusted after several of the machines at the Ledges Ride this year. Ground clearance is amazing, the tire swim great and have amazing traction, the overall design is well thought out, the engine is great and sounds awesome, ground speed is respectable....

If it had a T-20 I'd already own one. I guarantee it. I just can't get over the limited slip differential. (or the $13,000 price tag for how I'd have to outfit it).

The Frontier is the machine Argo should have introduced back in 1998 instead of the Bigfoot. There is no telling where the industry would be today if they had released such a fine vehicle back when the market was so good. It has good power, great looks, and it's extremely well made. There are very few things I would change. The new transmission works very well although it is still an open differential. The fact that ODG completely redesigned the transmission yet ended up with the exact same differential is nothing short of just plain stupid. The vehicle could have been perfect.

Hydromike, I ask you the same question I asked RogerS, does this mean that this machine sends more drive to the wheels with the most traction under extreme conditions?(Extreme conditions are what I am all about). Does this mean that the machine is not a true six wheel drive under extreme conditions? Please make me wise here Hydromike. THX DAN
