(ED--There is a lot to cover on Textron Off Road's 2018 lineup so we'll do that over the next few days. Keep checking back.)
The 2018 Stampede and Stampede X from Textron Off Road combine best-in-class components and specifications with innovative, premium features to deliver a bold, new experience in side-by-side performance.
Every Stampede is built to get the job done, no matter how big it is. A 600-pound capacity tilting rear bed with the quick and simple Fast-N-Latch bed accessory storage system is complemented by the extra storage from the Stampede’s signature Extended Cab, delivering a class-leading 24 cu.-ft. of storage space. Add to the mix a 2,000-pound towing capacity for a machine that’s ready for every job and trail.
Double A-arm suspensions with 9.5/10.5 inches of front/rear travel conquer all terrain and conditions, with 11.25 inches of ground clearance for added peace of mind. Front and rear swaybars reduce body roll and keep handling smooth and predictable.
Full impact- and corrosion-resistant doors offer a large 10-sq.-ft. opening for easy entry and exit. The cab is equally spacious, with a full 39 inches between the ROPS cage and the seat, plus 31 inches between the instrument panel and the seatback. The dash itself features an industry leading 5.25 x 3.25-in. LCD display. And the contoured bench seat provides comfortable seating for two.
Power comes from the robust, dependable 846cc SOHC twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled EFI engine that was designed and built by Textron. It feeds its 80 hp and 59-ft.-lbs. of torque to the CVT system. The selectable on-demand AWD system puts the power exactly where you want it, while four-wheel hydraulic disc brake with 9-inch rotors and dual piston calipers deliver enhanced braking performance.
Stampede models are equally impressive when it comes to extra features such as Electronic Power Steering (EPS); large 9.5-gallon. fuel capacity; standard 2-inch receiver hitch; 12v and USB accessory outlets; steel front brush guard; and adjustable tilt steering.
The Stampede comes with black steel wheels; 26-inch Kenda tires; and comes in Jet Black, Inferno Red or True Timber Kenati Camo.
The Stampede X gets premium 27-inch Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires; aluminum wheels; colored shock springs, color-accented bench seat; and comes in Electric Blue and Bright White.
