Hunters choose Can-Am vehicles because they offer a perfect blend of power, durability, and utility for navigating rough terrain and carrying gear. Here’s why Can-Am is a top choice for hunting:

1. Off-Road Capability

  • All-Terrain Performance: Can-Am ATVs (like the Outlander) and side-by-sides (like the Defender) can handle mud, rocky trails, and steep hills with ease.

  • Smart-Lok™ Differential: Provides superior traction in challenging conditions like deep mud or snow.

2. Quiet & Smooth Ride

  • Lower Noise Levels: Some models offer quieter engines, so you don’t scare off game.

  • Smooth Suspension: Helps you travel long distances over rough terrain without fatigue.

3. Storage & Payload Capacity

  • Large Cargo Beds (SxS Models): The Can-Am Defender has a spacious cargo bed for hauling gear, game, and supplies.

  • Rack Space (ATV Models): The Outlander offers front and rear racks for carrying hunting gear, coolers, and extra fuel.

4. Towing & Utility Features

  • High Towing Capacity: Can tow hunting blinds, trailers, or small boats with ease (some models pull over 2,500 lbs).

  • Winches & Accessories: Many models come with winches for pulling out stuck vehicles, retrieving game, or clearing obstacles.

5. Customization & Accessories

  • Gun Racks & Bow Holders: Custom mounts for safe and secure firearm storage.

  • Cab Enclosures & Heaters: Keep you warm during winter hunts.

  • Camouflage Editions: Some models come with factory camo wraps for better concealment.

6. Reliability & Fuel Efficiency

  • Long-Lasting Performance: Built tough to withstand rugged use.

  • Fuel Efficiency: Designed for long rides in the backcountry without frequent refueling.

Best Can-Am Models for Hunting

  • Can-Am Defender: Best for group hunts and carrying gear/game.

  • Can-Am Outlander: Ideal for solo hunters needing a tough, all-terrain ATV.


Can-Am vehicles make hunting easier, safer, and more efficient by offering rugged off-road capability, ample storage, and customization options. If you're looking for a reliable hunting rig, Can-Am is hard to beat!
