Not all of the prominent UTV manufacturers have a 6×6 model in their line-up. Many fire departments and emergency wards already use customized 6×6 UTVs. Their ability to carry a significant load while being able to reach otherwise unapproachable areas make them a very useful vehicle for various public services. Also, their increased length and stability mean that they can carry the extremely heavy and robust load, making them especially useful for farmers, woodworkers, or on construction sites and surface mines. 6×6 drive is making them capable of handling the worst trail conditions. 6-wheel off-roaders were designed with the roughest terrain and toughest assignments on the mind.
