Jump straight off an Outlander 4×4 and then onto its stretched 6×6 brother, and you’ll spot these ATVs are close relations. In fact, in a straight-ish line there’s every chance you’d be hard pressed to distinguish between riding them, either. Throw in a few sweeping turns and tight manoeuvres, however, and the 6×6 feels like a 4×4 running with its differentials locked.

If you think a Can-Am Outlander 6×6 450T is pretty much an Outlander 450T ATV with an extra rear axle and load bay tacked on, then you’re not far wrong. Although the engineering behind the sixwheeler is more involved than it looks, the important question is … what does an additional axle bring to the ATV party?
