The touchscreen infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. CarPlay allows iPhone users to place hands-free phone calls, send messages, check the weather, and access Apple Music and Maps through the infotainment system touchscreen or with their voice through Siri. Android Auto enables Android smartphone users to place hands-free phone calls, send messages, check the weather, play music, and get driving directions. An operator can also control the apps on the infotainment system using Google Assistant voice controls.

When using CarPlay or Android Auto, the touchscreen and voice control user experiences are provided by the iPhone or Android smartphone app software. Screen layouts, icons, menu structures, and voice commands are designed to be familiar to the iPhone or Android smartphone user. To use CarPlay or Android Auto, the iPhone or Android smartphone must be connected using an USB cable. A Bluetooth® wireless connection provides basic smartphone functions using infotainment system’s software.

Background noise may limit the usability of voice controls while the vehicle is being operated. The iPhone or Android smartphone app software must also be compatible with CarPlay or Android Auto.

Conquer tough terrain with confidence

You will feel confident and comfortable, even on tough terrain, with a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle. You will feel stable with a low center of gravity and a wide stance. Engine braking and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes keep you in control on steep descents, even when fully loaded. The power steering on M- and R-Trim vehicles, is smooth and responsive.

Standard four-wheel drive with rear differential lock

With standard four-wheel drive and rear differential lock, both instantly available with the flip of a switch, you can get where you are going.

Dual A-arm front and rear independent suspension

The independent suspension provides a smooth ride as 203 mm (8 in.) of front suspension travel and 229 mm (9 in.) of rear suspension travel cushions bumps and glides over ruts. And clearing rocks and roots is no problem with up to 305 mm (12 inches) of ground clearance.

Tires for any terrain

Full-Size Gator Utility Vehicles are available with three tire options:

• Terra Hawk all-terrain tires
  • Tread pattern and wide footprint provide excellent traction with minimal impact on terrain
• Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 extreme terrain radial tires
  • Radial construction provides shock absorption, allowing for a smoother ride
  • Non-directional tread pattern provides predictable cornering and claws up roots and rocks
• Predator Heavy-Duty all-terrain radial tire
  • Radial construction provides shock absorption, allowing for a smoother ride
  • Flat profile increases footprint area, reducing ground pressure
  • 8-ply rating delivers up to three times the life of Bighorn tires

Built for the long haul

Full-size Gator™ XUVs are built to work hard and go the extra mile.

Heavy-duty frame

The hefty frame is designed to stand-up to all the bumps and bends of the trail, and the standard full-underbody skid plate protects key components from damage.

Constant velocity boot protection

Constant velocity joints are enclosed to keep water and dirt out. A protector shield protects the boot from trail debris.

Automotive-grade panels and optional protection packages

The hood and side panels are made of automotive-grade materials that resist scratches and dents, and the cargo box is made of tough composite material that resists dents and rust. Optional protection packages look tough and provide even more protection.

Automotive-like controls

When you sit behind the wheel of a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle, you will be reminded of your favorite pick-up truck. There are controls at your fingertips, an easy-to-read instrument panel, and outlets to recharge your phone. Comfort and convenience packages include cargo box power lift, dual-beam LED headlights, turn signals, even a winch.

Shift from park and into gear with a throw of a single lever. Power steering on M- and R- trim vehicles is smooth and responsive.

When the going gets tough, you can instantly engage four-wheel drive and rear differential lock with switches. Even at night, the backlit switches are easy to see. If a front wheel starts to slip, the front differential automatically locks to pull you through.

Room for you, plus two

When you hop into the seat of a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle, you will notice there’s seating for you, plus two.

Three-passenger seating with room to spare

The adjustable operator’s seat and tilt steering lets drivers of all sizes get comfortable, and the passenger grab handles help everyone feel secure. The low step height and generous opening between seat base and fender is even designed to accommodate bulky work boots.

Roof, windshield, rear panel, door, and heater options

Roof, windshield, rear panel, and half doors attachments keep you dry, shaded, and out of the dust. Cab doors with roll down windows and heater attachments keep you warm all winter.

Add precision ag technology to your Gator™ Utility Vehicle

Precision ag technologies have changed the way we farm, and John Deere has been at the forefront of that change. Adding the AutoTrac™ assisted steering system and JDLink™ Modem options to Gator Utility Vehicles brings precision ag technology to farms of all sizes.

The AutoTrac Ready option enables hands-free steering through the field decreasing overlap and lowering input costs while reducing operator fatigue. The JDLink Modem option connects your vehicle to the John Deere Operations Center so the vehicle can be managed with the rest of your fleet.

Simplify field boundaries

• Check field boundaries and identify hazards as the Gator Utility Vehicle steers itself along established boundary lines.
• Create new boundary lines, even when the soil is too wet for larger equipment.

Improve soil mapping

• The days of picking a tree across the field to navigate are over. Use guidance lines to create a sampling grid and let your Gator Utility Vehicle keep you on track as you pull plugs across the field.

Connect your Gator Utility Vehicle to the rest of your fleet

• Leave the USB drives at home as you wirelessly send your data to and from your Gator Utility Vehicle.
• A planter operator can flag the exact location of a large rock so the Gator UV can be sent to the location to remove the hazard.

Save time and stop waiting for the perfect day to spray

• When paired with a tow behind sprayer and rate controller, the Gator Utility Vehicle’s lighter weight allows work to be completed when the ground is too wet for larger equipment.
• Speed through spraying by allowing the Gator Utility Vehicle to steer a predefined path around buildings and fence rows.

Track productivity, maintenance, and machine vitals

• Track the current and past locations of your Gator Utility Vehicle in the John Deere Operations Center, just like the rest of your fleet.
• Know when your Gator Utility Vehicle is ready for scheduled maintenance

Share StarFire™ Receiver and Universal Display

• You can leave precision ag technology components installed year-round or share your StarFire Receiver and Universal Display with another piece of equipment.

Haul more in fewer trips

The full-size Gator™ XUV can haul 454 kg (1000 lb), so load it up with confidence. You can also make fewer trips with 1814 kg (4000 lb) of towing capacity and a standard 51-mm (2-in.) receiver hitch.

Built-tough cargo box

The cargo box resists dents, scratches, and rust because it is made from a tough composite material. You will have no problem securing loads with integrated tie bars and 14 tie-down points. You can also convert the cargo box to a flatbed when you need to haul big and bulky loads.

The cargo box measures 1143 mm (45 in.) long, 1320 mm (52 in.) wide, and 305 mm (12 in.) deep.

One-handed tailgate

Since your hands are always full, the tailgate can be opened and closed with one hand. You can also lower the tailgate to carry longer items or remove it for easy cleanout.

Power lift

To save your back, the optional cargo box power lift empties heavy loads with the push of a button.

Durable, fuel-efficient diesel-powered drivetrain

The XUV865 and XUV825M S4 Gator™ Utility Vehicles are powered by a fuel-efficient and durable diesel engine. The enclosed drivetrain automatically adjusts for fast acceleration, along with powerful hauling and hill-climbing capabilities. With plenty of torque to get the job done, this engine will provide reliable performance for years to come.

Store more gear

One-row full-size Gator XUVs come packed with places to store tools, gear, and beverages.

Cup holders

The dash has four cup holders, and cab vehicles have a cup holder in each door.

Dash and under-seat storage

The vehicles also feature an enclosed glove box, center tray, dash storage pocket and under-seat storage. Depending on the configuration, vehicles may have up to three additional dash bins and under-hood storage.

Color options and styling
