What’s new for ARGO in 2016?

ARGO has changed quite a few things in their new 2016 model changeover. In addition to the many new vehicle features, there are also different model types to choose from in this year’s 2016 model.

ARGO Dual Beadlock Solution

In the new 2016 model ARGO has decided to include a dual bead lock solution which gives you more comfort when riding in the 2016 ARGO model. There are many benefits that come with the new dual beadlock solution that is included in the 2016 ARGO. Some benefits include the following:

•  The axles are 30% stronger in order to add durability to the vehicle.
• They allow for less driver fatigue so they can focus on the work they’re doing.
• Users can operate with tire pressure that is as low as 1 PSI.
• Allows for optimum speed over rough terrain.
• Not as much shock loading to the vehicle in challenging environments.
• Can safely operate vehicle even with a fully deflated tire, reducing the need to change your tire when you’re in the field.
• Reversible rims allow wheels that can sit closer or further out from the vehicle, this simplifies track installation.

ARGO’s dual beadlock solution is available as a build option on all 8×8 models (excluding the XT Series)

Outstanding Anti-Corrosion Paint System

ARGO partnered with Henkel, a popular manufacturer of coatings to provide anti-corrosion on all new vehicles. It’s a waterborne system that provides coverage of all metal parts, even in the hardest to reach places. It also meets all environmental requirements. The anti-corrosion paint system has been included in the new ARGO vehicles to increase their lifespan.

Miscellaneous Improvements

ARGO has created a new orange color that is essential for EMS personnel and first responders. There’s also a new olive gray color scheme to give owners more choices than they’ve had. Another new add-on in 2016 is a 12v/USB power outlet for people to charge their phones, use their GPS, and play digital media. Additionally, new ride-friendly seating with nicer and more comfortable cushions and backrest. The stitching and embossing has been refined with the ARGO logo. There’s also a new entry step, making it easier for riders to get in and out of the vehicle (excluding 8×8 XT models).
