6x6 ATVs in Canada
A 6 wheeled all terain vehicle is very much like its cousin the 4x4. This website will also incidentally, be featuring articles about 4x4 vehicles as well. 6x6 max vehicles are required when more power, traction or off roadability are required over traditional 4x4 vehicles.
6x6 trucks can usually carry and pull more weight than their 4 wheeled counterparts. In a country like Canada, we sometimes need all the pulling capacity we can get. For the man or woman (yeah right!) who needs more torque, a 6x6 Ford or GM can be just what the doctor ordered.
Read our articles and hopefully in the near future buy 6x6 ATVs from us at 6x6.ca - click here. We will be offering trailer hitches, cargo attachments and all other accesories and spare parts. The most popular maker of 6x6 ATVs is Polaris (makers of the Ranger and Big Boss ATVs) and Argo is not too far behind. While All Terain Vehicles represent the most popular of the 6x6 market, there are a huge number of proponents of 6x6 trucks. 6x6 trucks are used for multiple purposes, from off roading to hauling boats to military applications.
6x6 army vehicles have been commonplace since the 2nd world war. Today you can find them in special use capacity in most modern militaries. Some of these older generation vehicles have come available in the aftermarket.
For all those out there who are interested in other types of 6x6 vehicles, like the 6x6 cars (shudder) that are available, we have put together a miscellanous section.
Others: 8x8, 4x4 and more
Click the hyperlinked area anywhere on this site to access our other articles and our online store (once it launches). We will have information about last years model 2010 or this year 2011 and as soon as it comes out, the 2012. Conversely to the 4x4, the 6x6 has 8x8 cousins. Argo makes a number of vesatile 8x8 amphibious transports for the commercial markets.
Another application for 6x6 vehicles is utility or general maintenance. For this we have vehicles like the John Deere 6x6 Gator Utility Vehicle. Not quite an ATV, but definately not a truck, these fill a much needed niche in the 6x6 market.
