EXTRA PROTECTION FOR GRUMPY TERRAIN.Trouble doesn’t contain itself to convenient locations. That’s why we’re proud to put the might of ARGO go-anywhere engineering behind the Aurora 850 Responder R 8x8 XTV. These amphibious rescue machines are designed to get assistance to some of the world’s most challenging terrains. They come with our reliable and strong LX 850 V-Twin engine, providing power with purpose. They also feature big 25" tires and enough seating for all the helping hands required. |
LX 850 EngineAll-new ODG 850 V-Twin Fan Cooled engine is specifically designed with advanced technology and created to deliver optimal performance, power and torque when you need it, while providing smoother, quieter and easier starting operation. Available on Aurora Series. |
Instant Torque Clutch (ITC)The ARGO Instant Torque Drive System (ITDS) dramatically improves low-end torque and increases acceleration. The Instant Torque Clutch (ITC) is designed to provide the optimal gear ratio, shifting seamlessly throughout the full range to utilize the massive torque and power of our engines.

Admiral TransmissionThe ODG Admiral transmission uses complex gearing, including dual differentials on the output shafts. When steering, the braking force is not applied to the output shafts but to a steering differential, which translates to a vastly different driving experience. While steering in high gear, the output shafts rotate at a 3:1 ratio, yielding smoother, gentler steering events. Selecting low range enables operation similar to a traditional skid steer vehicle offering a zero-radius turn. |
Reduced Underhood TemperatureTo ensure comfort for the operator and passengers, heat-reflective and absorptive material is integrated into the firewall. A composite exhaust shroud goes one step further and effectively redirects heat while producing a subtle note from the exhaust.

25" Mud Tires on AirLock Steel RimsThe Conquest Outfitter has 25” XT-119 ARGO-only mud tires with steel rims. The chevron treads maximize your power in thick mud and increase your propulsion in whatever waterway you decide to drive in. |
Split SeatsThe Aurora Responder delivers hope in the face of life and death situations to save lives in challenging and remote locations. These brave warriors are equipped with split seats to provide flexible passenger seating arrangements for any rescue mission. Be safe out there. |
Amphibious BodyYes, this XTV floats. The one-piece amphibious lower body is the signature ARGO design feature. Its smooth, durable underbody floats over potential snags, stumps and outcrops, as well as swamps and water. |
Stretcher MountThe Aurora Responder Series is designed for reliable off-road search and rescue. Equipped for emergencies, a EMS stretcher mount is installed onto the Aurora Responder to allow crew members to rear-load stretchers. Head out brave and come home safe. |
WINCH AND BRUSHGUARDPulling power for when you need it most. The 3,000-lb winch mounts on the front of your ARGO brushguard to assist with high-angle extractions of equipment or debris.
