Why You’ll Love It
The Defender MAX DPS HD9 is built for real-world utility: the V-twin torque and PRO-TORQ CVT help you move heavy loads smoothly, while selectable Turf/2WD/4WD and the Visco-Lok† front differential deliver traction when conditions change. DPS makes tight maneuvering and long days behind the wheel noticeably easier, and the six-person MAX layout means you can bring the whole crew without sacrificing capability. Add in the 1,000 lb cargo box rating and 2,500 lb towing capacity, and you’ve got a UTV that’s ready for work Monday through Sunday adventures.
