E-Z-GO
ST
4X4 OFF-ROAD UTILITY VEHICLE
E-Z-GO
Textron announces production of the company’s first 4-Wheel
Drive Trail Utility Vehicle. The E-Z-GO ST 4X4 provides the ruggedness
of a truck, a “best in class” bed load capacity, and
the performance of a true off-road vehicle that can take hunters,
outdoorsmen, and land managers into the toughest terrain with
confidence.
The
E-Z-GO ST 4x4 hauls more than any vehicle in its category, boasting
an 1,100-pound bed load capacity and an impressive 1,500-pound
vehicle load capacity. It is equally rugged, with a heavy-duty
frame made of hot-dipped, galvanized channel and tubular steel
throughout for superior strength and corrosion protection. A Rotomolded
poly bed with no exposed hardware to rust or corrode adds to its
ability to withstand the elements.
The
E-Z-GO ST 4x4 is powered by an 18 hp, 614-cc, V-twin, air-cooled
Honda engine and will reach speeds up to 25 mph. It has a key
start and a 340 CCA maintenance-free, vibration-resistant battery.
A hinged front cowl provides easy access to the battery, the dual-circuit
master cylinder and fuses.
It
is the off-road capabilities of E-Z-GO’s first 4-wheel-drive
vehicle that really set it apart. A unique center-mounted transmission
design features a short drive shaft that does not protrude below
the frame and offers greater protection for the drivetrain. The
4x4 has a heavy-duty, single-ratio Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) with driven clutches protected by an environmental cover.
The front differential is surrounded by rugged frame members,
and wiring harnesses are protected within the frame. Electrically-activated
“on-the-fly” front or rear differential locks are easily
selected with a dash-mounted rocker switch.
An
aggressive 9.5-inch ground clearance on the ST 4x4 means it can
go places the competition can’t handle and protect the vehicle
from the terrain. Self-cleaning, unidirectional 25-inch tires
offer the ultimate in traction on muddy, rocky, or loose surfaces.
A comfortable, side-by-side ride for both driver and passenger
under any load conditions is assured with the dual rate rear leaf
springs and thickly padded bench seat.
The
ST 4x4 has a manual, gas-lift assisted dump bed with a removable,
fold-down tailgate that doesn’t require a mechanical latch.
Four threaded inserts accept tie-downs. The bed measures a spacious
45 x 36 x 13.75 inches, and its 31-inch load bed height makes
loading cargo easy. Molded-in slots in the bed allow the user
to section off the load.
Hunters
and others who prefer to keep a low profile in the woods will
appreciate the Recon Green body color of the ST 4x4. The color
pigment is molded-in and topped with a long-lasting, automotive
quality, high-gloss coating.
The
dashboard design on the ST 4x4 is loaded with features for easy
operation and convenience, including a passenger side storage
compartment with integral grab bar, two drink holders, a two-way
radio or cell phone holder and an optional 12-volt power outlet.
Easy-grip, dash-mounted control knobs allow the user to select
front or rear locking differential and two- or four-wheel-drive.
The dashboard center gauge cluster includes an analog electric
fuel gauge, analog voltmeter gauge, digital hour meter, park brake
indicator, low oil indicator, front and rear differential lock
indicator, and four-wheel-drive indicator.
Other
standard features include front hydraulic disc brakes and rear
hydraulic drum brakes with all stainless steel braided brake lines;
dual halogen headlights; McPherson strut front suspension; rack
and pinion steering; and two-inch front receiver that is compatible
with a wide variety of hitches, winches, and after-market implements.
Even
with its many premium features, the E-Z-GO ST 4x4 provides a great
value, competitively priced at $8,799 (MSRP).
