Was going to buy a new Frontier 6x6...but kinda want the 8x8 now

[MaxRules]

It would be difficult to haul the 8x8 with your current set up since you are, I assume, at maximum legal trailer length. The Frontier 6x6 will be a nice upgrade over your Bigfoot. They might look a little similar but I assure you the Frontier is 2x the machine. The Frontier's wheel base is slightly longer and the new tires are a great combo for a smoother ride than the Bigfoot could offer. The 8x8 Frontier has the raised front and rear axles just like the Avenger, so turning on hard ground is just as easy as the 6x6. The older 8x8s (Response, Conquest) were under powered and did not have the raised axles so they were more difficult to turn. That made them less fun to drive and turned some people away from them. That is not really the case any more. The 8x8 Frontier should be just as fun to drive and they are awesome on hills. I've never seen a tight wooded trail stop an 8x8 where a 6x6 could get through.

... I assume, at maximum legal trailer length...

You're funny!

[MaxRules]

You're funny!

I sure am, but not about that one. You said the problem was trailering the 8x8 since your 12' trailer already put you at 70'. I believe that is the maximum length in some states and most are at 65'. It would be easy to change to a 20' trailer and haul all the ATVs but that would surely result in a ticket, or worse.

I guess you missed the sarcasm...I'm already illegal.

do I want a 6 wheeler or an 8 wheeler?

Pick up orders at all 3 windows...

Hold the fries we're comin' thru!! All I can say is read Rock Doctors post again and give me a ditto. 6wheelers are more fun? Well the only times I have actually thought my heart had stopped, I was driving my max iv!

[lager99]

I'm gonna go with the Frontier 650 6x6

I was bouncing around the 8x8 idea...but really even my Bigfoot is all I need. I'm the only Argo to go out & ride with my friends, all quads & a couple Rhino's. No hunting, no cargo...other then my kids 50% of the time. I think upgrading the power, wheelbase, tires & tranny will be a nice perk. I actually sold my quad too...although I used it last year, I found the Argo more fun taking the kids. The last two trips I took the quad too, but never even started it. Who knows...I was kinda pumped with the new Can-Am Renegade but I'd hate to get soaked on that thing...just not fun. That's why I love the Argo...after a day of muddin', everyone is cold & wet...and I just plug along.

What? The 8x8 Frontier to 6x6 Frontier? About $2500 w/o skidplate on the 8x8. It's standard on the 6x6.

Ordered today...should arrive 1st week of March.

Well...I'm worse then my ol' lady...changed my mind. I'm picking up an 8x8 EFI. I had to do it...had to...

I got shadow branch camo, they still have to PDI it & add all the accessories...I will probably pick it up in about 10days.

[Mike]

YOUR GOING TO ENJOY THAT MACHINE MY FREIND. Hopefully I get to see it in action one of these days. Maybe you can make down for Merango swamp run in June. That would be so cool! Enjoy!! Mudbug, I and hopefully a few others are going to try to make for the June swamp run. I hope the Roger can be there also!

I'm in Canada, but trust me...we will have a ton of video this summer.

I am building a vintage argo 6x6 to be a Game hauling machine (can't afford a newer machine, and found a great deal on this one). For my use in the rugged mountains of Oregon, I think the extra maneuverability and lightness will give me better ability to haul meat. The kind of dry forest i hunt will mean strategically deciding how far i can realistically go in after a downed elk or mule deer. Not much mud involved, mostly thick sage and boulders, forest and downed trees. If I was hunting whitetails or better yet moose in swamps, then definitely and 8x8 with tracks. But as to which one is better....either one is better than a quad! Slower, but no high centering! Same goes for a Rhino, this is not a race.
