Frontier 650 Scout 8x8

When you find your hunting anywhere, there’s always a good story that goes with it. The one you bagged. The shot you missed. The record-breaker that was conveniently out of range. The day you saw so many deer, you thought you were seeing double. Yes, every season brings a new chance to get out there, experience something special and share it with the world. And when you begin your journey at the helm of the 2026 Frontier 650 Scout 8x8, amazing stories can happen around every bend. The front steel rack provides lots of room for gear, and the back seat provides lots of room for the hunters using that gear. The vehicle will get you past rivers, ponds and rough terrain with its amphibious capabilities and powerful, but quiet V-Twin engine. And it’s all finished with TrueTimber® Prairie camo, making it the perfect sidekick to all your hunting stories.

This 650 Hi-Output V-Twin Fan-Cooled engine is the new standard in power. Perfectly matched to our 8x8 platform, this new ODG engine is engineered with a unique exterior design and a proprietary cyclonic-style air cleaner with a dual bore carburetor, delivering 21% more power plus higher torque.

The ARGO Instant Torque Drive System (ITDS) dramatically improves low-end torque and increases acceleration. The Instant Torque Clutch (ITC) is designed to provide the optimal gear ratio, shifting seamlessly throughout the full range to utilize the massive torque and power of our engines.

The ARGO Classic transmission is our simplest design and operates like a mechanical skid steer, which gives it incredible maneuverability. In order to provide vehicle steering, braking force is applied directly to the output of the appropriate side of the transmission based on operator steering input. In both high and low range, the Classic transmission provides zero-radius turns to get you in and around extreme terrain.

ARGO Progressive Steering (APS) with the Classic transmission achieves a smooth and comfortable drive experience to all XTVs in the Frontier Series.

APS is an innovation in the area of braking force application to the transmission steering differential. By adding a spring element between the handlebars and the brake system we achieved a progressive, dual-rate steering system. Steering events are now effortless with an increase of 4X wider range of steering motion, offering the smoothest turning available in an ARGO XTV. APS makes it as fun and comfortable to drive as any UTV.
