DIRTHAMMER SAYS

The Can-Am Defender is one of our all-time favorite utility machines. While base models are rugged tools, this topped-out Max Lone Star Cab is anything but basic. This is as nice as they come, with heat and air conditioning, glass windows all the way around, power front windows, a windshield wiper, and factory winch. This is a 2022.5 year model, which means the rear windows also roll down.

There’s no shortage of power from the 976 cc Rotax v-twin engine. Can-Am claims there are 82 ponies on tap, and that number is enough to give the big Defender a 2,500-pound towing capacity and a 1,000 pound bed capacity. We like this one because of its massive modification list.
