HUSQVARNA HUV4421GXP

Husqvarna’s line of heavy-duty utility vehicles (www.USA.Husqvarna.com; 704-597-5000) features one of the most rigid frames in the industry. Constructed entirely of heavy-wall aluminum tubing, the frames in these all-wheel-drive monsters just don’t flex. And with its industry-leading automatic all-wheel-drive, the 4421 is well able to climb over just about any obstacle, as long as two wheels are in contact with something that’s semi-solid. The 4421 is also available in two trim levels with Kubota diesel power.
