John Deere Gator

John Deere’s Gator RSX 850i isn’t just another model in the Gator family, but an entirely new branch of the tree.  If the utilitarian model Gators of the past never appealed to your sporty nature, you’ve got a lot to discover with the all-new John Deere Gator RSX 850i.  It’s a world away from any previous Gator, and the aggressive, sporty new design is meant to carry Deere much further into the recreational segment than they’ve ever been before.  Saddle up!

Having sold over 500,000 Gator utility vehicles, John Deere’s Gator is the best-selling UTV ever built.  Successful products must continually evolve to survive though, and with their 825i XUV, Deere is taking the Gator lineup in a whole new direction.  

The Gator species has evolved.  What began as the humble, hard-working AMT (All Materials Transport) back in 1987 has now become a very capable off-road performer.  John Deere has sold over 500,000 of their Gator utility vehicles, but never has there been one as quick, nimble, powerful, or just plain fun as the new RSX 850i, and now there are three!  These Gators are meant for much more than the farm!

It’s official; John Deere is releasing not one but THREE all-new versions of the sport inspired Gator RSX 850i Side x Side and ATV Illustrated was on hand to see what the new machine is made of.  From our first official look it’s clear this machine is designed to carry Deere much further into the sport segment than they’ve ever been before. 

John Deere’s Gator is one of the original UTVs and they’ve made their way to every farm, campus, and parks department in the country. Competitors had left the Gator in the dust for most trail loving recreational riders, however, that is changing. With their 825i XUV, the Gator has evolved.
