ARGO Evolves the Sherp: Meet the Sasquatch

ARGO says a new king of off-road will be crowned.

The story begins a few years back when Canada’s ARGO became the official importer of the legendary Ukrainian Sherp. It was called the Centaur under ARGO badging.

ARGO took what it learned working on the Sherp and elevated it to the next level. According to them: The new ARGO Sasquatch will be soon crowned the king of off-road amphibious vehicles, so we knew we had to perfectly match the comfort to the capabilities. That’s why we partnered with Custom Products, a premier cab fabrication company, to provide a cockpit experience second to none. You won’t believe your eyes. Or your ears.

TRANSMISSION

MOVE EFFORTLESSLY

When you go where others can’t, you’ll need the capability to turn at a moment’s notice — even in extreme terrain conditions. The HDT Automatic e-Steer transmission was specifically designed for the ARGO Sasquatch by its parent company, ODG. ODG has been perfecting high-quality transmissions since 1962 and holds a patent on an e-steer transmission. Grab the steering wheel of the all-new Sasquatch and navigate the world with ease.

Performance that’s no hoax.

The drivetrain on the new ARGO Sasquatch is industry leading. There’s no doubt about it. The ARGO Instant Torque Clutch (ITC) couples the Doosan three-cylinder 1.8 L high-output turbo diesel engine with our HDT e-Steer Transmission through a final drive gearcase powering you on land or water or through that nasty, murky sludge.

ARGO Instant Torque Drive System (ITDS) dramatically improves low-end torque while providing the optimal gear ratio, automatically shifting seamlessly through the full range utilizing the massive torque and power of the engine. Climb aboard to experience class-leading power-to-weight ratio and total performance that will leave skeptics, believers.
