I know this may be old to some, but this is the direction Argo should have taken before Polaris beat them to it if they wanted to compete with the SxS market and keep the amphibious aspect.
Guaranteed Argo will take a big hit in sales if Polaris ever does release these for under $30,000 CAN$. I know I would trade mine in a heartbeat. Only thing I see Argo having an advantage is seating capacity which could be easily fixed on the back of the Rampage.
Your right - $ will be the driving factor. Just looking at the video it's clear that is an expensive machine. I wonder what Argo's new CEO will do in this arena?
LOL ya built for the military, under 30K read my lips never going to happen 30 K might buy you one side of the track system,neat vehicle I will give you that luv to have one in my garage but I guarantee the price point will make a Argo look like penny's on the dollar.NCT
Well you have to think of it this way, most parts are mass produced that cost the most... Rzr1000 motor, trasmission as such let alone the heater and A/C. Them tracks look cheap to me, not much different then a rear snowmobile or dirt bike track setup in a bit larger scale. Even the number of shocks in the track assembly is low and they look relatively simple.
It would definitely be the hydraulic setup added the majority of the weight and cost no doubt. But then again look at the Mudd Ox? So I think a bare model would be possible under $30,000. Especially if they used a cheaper model motor and trans. A 570 DOHC setup would have more power then our Argo's.
not only that if you go back a couple years and look at the price of a new max IV and a stock rzr ,
its the same price. I myself would rather go fast thats why i have the best of both worlds.
