Can-Am Outlander DPS 700 specifications
Can-Am · Utility
The XT 700 is the DPS with more equipment. Dirt Wheels lists what the XT package adds: a 3,500 lb winch, front and rear bumpers, 26-inch tires and a cellphone holder with a USB port.
ATV on Demand puts the XT's tires at 26-inch XPS Trail Force on 14-inch aluminum wheels, one inch taller than the lower trims, and observed that the XT feels lively even though it is heavier, while the lighter DPS would likely feel quicker still.

What the DPS 700 adds over the base machine
The publication's tester found the tall, well-padded seat and slim midsection comfortable and secure, and said low-end power is more subdued but the low range gives plenty of pulling force for heavy loads without excessive revving.
DPS 700 or XT 700
If you will buy a winch and bumpers anyway, the XT price gap is a fair trade. If you ride mostly in open country, the DPS costs $1,850 less.
Outlander DPS 700 against the Rubicon 700 and Kodiak 700
Honda's Rubicon 700 and Yamaha's Kodiak 700 EPS are the mid-size rivals, and both are lighter on paper than the Can-Am. Check their tow ratings and prices against the Can-Am's 1,830 lb and $8,749 rather than assuming the class is interchangeable.
The trim step is about steering and the front end. ATV on Demand lists what the 700 line carries: Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering with three levels of assistance, a Visco-Lok auto-locking front differential, 25-inch tires on 12-inch steel wheels, a full chassis skid plate, a glovebox and front drop-down storage. The engine is electronic fuel injected with a 46mm throttle body and is claimed to make 50 horsepower and 41 lb-ft of torque.

2027 Can-Am Outlander DPS 700 questions
What is the difference between the Can-Am Outlander DPS 700 and XT 700?
The DPS 700 has power steering and an auto-locking front differential on 25-inch tires. The XT 700 adds 26-inch tires on aluminum wheels, a 3,500 lb winch and bumpers, and costs $10,599 against $8,749.
How much horsepower does the Outlander DPS 700 have?
Testers quote a claimed 50 horsepower and 41 lb-ft of torque from the 650cc Rotax single with electronic fuel injection. Can-Am's 700 name refers to the model tier, not the engine displacement.
A specifications-and-problems roundup lists electrical issues as the most common complaint from Outlander 700 owners. That page is a general summary, not a survey of a defined number of owners, so treat it as a prompt to check the battery, connectors and charging system on a used machine rather than a measured failure rate.
The braking condition belongs with the tow number
Keep the words braked trailer attached to the 1,830 lb towing figure. Removing that condition changes the claim. A trailer without the required braking equipment cannot simply inherit the same number. Check the hitch, tongue load, combined carrying limits and local requirements as well as the trailer's gross mass before choosing a work combination.
The DPS model's 25-inch tires on twelve-inch steel wheels differ from the larger tire and equipment arrangement offered on other Outlanders. Replacing those wheels later involves fitment and loading questions as well as appearance. Compare the complete cost of the intended wheel, winch and protection setup with an equipped trim before treating the base-price difference as money saved.
