2025 Argo Frontier 650 HO 8x8 Scout

LX 650 H.O. Engine

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.

Classic Transmission with APS

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.

Instant Torque Clutch (ITC)

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.

ARGO Progressive Steering (APS)

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.

Heavy-Duty Steel Front Rack

You're ready to strap a big trophy on the front rack. Pack your stuff and get way back there. The Frontier 700 Scout has a heavy-duty steel front rack to bring all the things you need to make your hunting adventure safe and rewarding. Wherever you go, make sure you go where others can't.

TrueTimber Prairie Camo

ARGO is proud to use TrueTimber® Prairie camo. TrueTimber utilizes the latest technology to create the industry's most realistic camouflage patterns. Make sure your hunt is successful this year with ARGO. Go where others can't.

Amphibious Body

Yes, this XTV floats. The one-piece amphibious lower body is the signature ARGO design feature. Its smooth, durable underbody floats over potential snags, stumps and outcrops, as well as swamps and water.

Winch and Brushguard

Pulling power for when you need it most. The winch mounts on the front to assist with high-angle extractions of equipment or debris. The winch and brushguard come standard for the Frontier Scout model with 2,500 lb capacity.
