I wonder how affordable it is

I don't know what the actual MSRP is, but this one went up on ebay a while back. Affordable is pretty relative, but I could build about 13 Super Swamp Fox for the asking price. Then again, I appreciate that not one of them would be as industrial as a new Titan. Semantics, I tell you.

I called a Ken Bost who's been an Argo dealer for a very long time,and he's already sold two Argo Titan's for 32,500. His biggest sales are in the commercial market. I don't know if this included set up and local taxes? The Titan is so heavy that you'd have to run tracks on it to drive through really soft conditions, and with tires only, it's 64.5” inches wide already. Even with a set of 14.5" inch Adair tracks on it, just think how wide it would be then.

2013 Argo Titan 8x8 XTI

I posted this video because it shows a little more than the other video's that were uploaded on Youtube about the new Argo Titan.

I work for a company in Alberta Canada and we had a customer request a fully loaded Titan and here's what we came up with after many hours of custom design and fab.
It will be interesting to see what Argo come up with for Accesories in the near future.

1.Full track kit with rubber track extensions.
2.Full ROPS Kit.
3.Full aluminum windshield and roof assembly.
4.Tempered glass front window for future windshield wiper install.
5.Fully enclosed waterproof cab assembly.
6.Avenger heater kit modified to fit the Titan with vents on top of dash.
7.Flagstaff and flashing LED beacon.
8.LED light bar on the front and rear.

Why do you think the name was changed from "Titan" to "XTI" after it had already been on the market for several months? Besides the confusion that it creates, from a company perspective, other recent Argo models have had a full name instead of letters and from a marketing standpoint, I would think that Titan would be a better choice. I mean, why drive an XTI when you can drive a Titan? Just to add a little more confusion, it is still being marketed by Argo with banner ads online as Titan but on their site it is now called XTI and it even has a note on the left hand side of the page mentioning that it was formerly called Titan: Amphibious Vehicles - Amphibious ARGO ATV, ARGO AATV, ARGO All Terrain Vehicle

Not a big deal, it just seems like a weird move. Who knows, this could be a change that is going to be applied across their entire lineup with new models.

I don't know either, Mike. That doesn't really make much sense to me. I know there are some employees from ODG on the site. Maybe they can chime in on this one.

Just a guess, but maybe they didn't want it confused with the Triton??

Nothing screams BADASS quite as much as some cheesy guitar riffs imported from the 80's

Argo's marketing department must think that mullets, lots of bright neon colors, 1980's Camaros, and those cheesy guitar riffs make you "cool".

Good point. I saw a thread a couple of days ago on a Triton and I was thinking "Titan" as I read it. It took me a minute to realize it was a thread on the Predator. However, there probably aren't that many people that have even heard of the Triton.

Max isn't any better though.

My dad said something awhile ago about it had the same name as another aatv, a Chinese one I think. I don't remember.

[vandargo]

I think there is an UTV manufacturer out there who's name is Titan.
Would be like Ford naming their next car a Ford Honda.
