Powerful, stealthy and eager to handle large loads and rugged off-road conditions, the new 2018 Prowler EV and Prowler EV iS from Textron Off Road deliver premium electric vehicle performance for a full range of riders.
Each Prowler EV is powered by a 72V battery system comprised of six 12V heavy-duty deep-cycle batteries feeding AC electric power to dual front and rear motors. The result is near-silent operation, ultra-low emissions and 25 percent greater ef ciency than DC-powered vehicles. That means more time driving and less time charging.
Compared to gas-powered engines, which create a 30,000-sq.-ft. field of disturbance with noise and exhaust, the noise- and emission-free Prowler EV models let you get 85 percent closer to hunting game. Likewise, their silent operation means no noise impact to neighbors.
The top speed of each machine is 24.5 mph, with a 16 mph top speed when in the Max Range mode.
Regenerative braking extends driving range, while the on-board charging system can recharge the batteries in 8-12 hours.
When it comes to off-road performance, the Prowler EV models are ready for it all. Full-time 4WD is paired with fully independent front suspension to deliver serious off-road capability and comfort.
The Prowler EV has a solid leaf-spring rear suspension, while the more comfortable and capable independent rear suspension comes standard on the Prowler EV iS. Meaty 25-in. Carlisle Trail Pro tires deliver excellent traction, while four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes provide enhanced braking performance.
For added convenience, both Prowler EV models feature IntellibrakeTM – an innovative, automatic Electric Park Brake that’s activated when the driver removes his/her foot from the accelerator pedal.
A contoured front bench seat offers comfort for two and is matched by the convertible rear-facing bench seat for four-occupant transportation. And with a maximum towing load of 1,000 lbs. plus a 400-lb. payload on the fold-down rear cargo deck, the Prowler EV models deliver the hauling performance that sportsmen and women demand. A new integrated glove box offers easy access to essential gear.
The Prowler EV comes with halogen headlights, while the EV iS model features upgraded LED headlights.
Both Prowler EV models are available in either black or TrueTimber® Kanati Camo and feature an in-dash battery status indicator, a fold-down cargo deck, glove box, 1.5-in. front brush guards, impact- resistant fender ares, a 2-in. (5cm) rear receiver, headlights and taillights. They also come with a 12-mo. warranty.

Each quarter, Yamaha accepts applications from nonprofit or tax-exempt organizations including OHV riding clubs and associations, national, state and local public land use agencies, outdoor enthusiast associations and land conservation groups with an interest in protecting, improving, expanding and/or maintaining access for safe, responsible and sustainable public use.

It’s the only truck cover on the market that seals and locks your cargo while safely hauling your ATV or Side x Side.
The Dirt Trax crew logs tens of thousands of miles every season traveling to events and riding destinations and our DiamondBack cover has proven to be invaluable.
Our preference of choice has always been the HD (Heavy Duty) cover which is made from .100” 3003 alloy aluminum diamond plate with reinforced construction.
The HD cover boasts a 1600-lb hauling capacity and unlike other covers, this truck bed cover can’t be cracked or cut open. It’s exterior is made even more rugged with Line-X coating which is ultra durable, scuff-resistant and gives your cover a bold and tough look.
High-strength cargo cleats offer multiple tie-down points for securing your cargo and twelve foot folding ramps, side rails, extensions decks and cab guards provide safe and secure loading and hauling.
For standard and short-bed trucks, we’ve made good use of the powder coated steel construction Rear Extensions. These can be easily mounted so that you can haul larger 2-Up ATVs or Side x Sides and they detach when not in use.
Whether its your ATV, Side x Side, lumber, step ladders or furniture DiamondBack covers also allow you to double your cargo by freeing up the space in your truck bed along with providing easy access to your cargo.
