What the third axle is for
Can-Am builds the 6x6 for hauling and towing. The 2,475 lb tow rating is 645 lb higher than the 1,830 lb on the four-wheel Outlanders. The 1,000 lb payload and 66 gal of cargo storage are what make it a farm and camp machine.
It has a work-calibrated pDrive clutch and extra-low gearing to match the load. The trade is the same as for any six-wheeler: it is heavier, harder to turn in tight spaces and has more to maintain.
Who should buy it
Buy the Outlander 6x6 if you need to tow beyond what a four-wheel machine can and carry a passenger and a load. Its price is $5,100 more than the Outlander PRO XT's $9,399 and $5,750 above the DPS 700's $8,749. So the third axle is a real premium.
Compare it against the Polaris Sportsman 6x6 600 before you decide, because the Polaris is $500 more but has a lower tow rating.
Outlander 6x6 against the Sportsman 6x6 600 and Outlander PRO XT
Polaris's Sportsman 6x6 600 is the direct six-wheel rival, and Can-Am's own PRO XT is the four-wheel work machine with the same engine. The numbers show what the third axle costs in weight and price.
Six wheels change the standards question
The mandatory ATV rule, 16 CFR Part 1420, specifies four-wheel ATVs. Do not infer that this six-wheel machine has the same mandatory certification solely from the ATV name. Use the Outlander 6x6’s actual labels and operating instructions for passenger and load limits; its long cargo platform does not create another passenger seating position.
A 6x6 problems guide says the suspension is generally well regarded but lists handling complaints: fuel injection problems that cause inconsistent power delivery, and misalignment that leads to uneven tire wear. Vehicle Mastery covers the Outlander line in general and lists fuel delivery, electrical components, overheating, suspension and clutch systems as the areas where problems are reported, adding that prevalence varies and regular servicing can prevent or address them.
Neither source is a count of failures, so use them as a used-buyer checklist: inspect tire wear for alignment, ask about fuel pump and injector service, and check the clutch and belt.
Can-Am rates it at 2,475 lb, with a 1,000 lb payload and 66 gal of cargo storage. The four-wheel Outlanders are rated at 1,830 lb.
