I am not looking at pitting the two against each other, Max vs Argo (Ford vs Chevy lol), but looking for similarities, strong and weak points of each. My plan was to purchase a Max in the near future but thought maybe I should not rule out the Argos since they pop up in my searches. I guess I am partial to the Max since we had one growing up. The main goal of whatever I buy is to introduce non off roaders to the joys of off road riding in a safe way. (meaning they won't be driving and will be wearing helmets). Machine would be used on long trail rides (groomed and off the beaten path), snow, an occasional float and in the sand. Please include if you are referring to a Max II or IV, Argo 6x6 or 8x8. Thanks in advance. I love this site!
