John Deere XUV875M Gator Utility Vehicle

Product Details & Features

The John Deere Gator XUV 875M is a robust crossover utility vehicle (UTV) built for demanding work environments, offering a blend of comfort, capability and versatility. Designed to carry three occupants, haul substantial loads, and navigate tough terrain, it’s a serious upgrade over previous models in the John Deere Gator range.

Key Specifications & Performance

• Engine: 17.0 kW (22.8 hp) diesel, delivering reliable power for heavy-duty tasks. 

• Fuel tank volume: 42.4 litres, ensuring extended operation between fill-ups. 

• Seating capacity: Three passengers, making it ideal for crew work or shared tasks. 

• Cargo box capacity: 454 kg, offering serious payload for tools, materials or gear. 

• Cargo box volume: 524 litres (18.5 cu ft) – giving generous space for large items. 

• Suspension travel: Fully independent, dual A-arm front with ~203 mm travel and rear with ~229 mm travel, for comfort and terrain handling. 

• Towing capacity: Up to 1,814 kg (4,000 lb) – enabling heavy trailers or loads. 

• Ground clearance: 305 mm (12 in) unloaded — great for rough terrain. 

Reliability & Comfort Enhancements

John Deere has built on the proven reliability of prior Gator models and introduced several refinements:

• The air intake has been relocated 30 cm higher to ensure cleaner air ingress and better engine protection in wet or muddy conditions.

• The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) system features a protected air intake and exhaust layout designed to fend off debris, water and mud intrusion.

• The heavy-duty frame, under-body skid plates and dual-A-arm independent suspension minimise chassis stress and improve ride comfort and control.

• Driver and passenger comfort is improved with a spacious three-passenger bench, tilt steering, well-placed controls and optional cab accessories (roof, doors, HVAC). 

Cargo Box & Versatility Features

One of the standout areas of the XUV 875M is its cargo box:

• Compared to the previous XUV 865M model, the cargo box offers about 13 % more space (wider design) to improve loading capacity and reduce mud-sling into the box area. 

• Practical features include:

  • A 12 V SAE power port inside the box for convenient on-site power. 

  • Side and front divider slots (five on the side, three at the front) to organise gear securely.

  • Option to fit a second level of storage within the cargo box for better use of vertical space.

  • Redesigned tailgate that becomes a flat work surface with both metric and imperial measurement markings, a V-groove for cutting pipe, built-in cup holders and anti-gravity pockets.

  • Integrated clamping points, fold-flat tie-downs in front-middle and corners, and tie-down pockets to secure loads that interfere with D-rings. 

  • Four stake pockets on each side to accept tool-storage clamps or stakes for carrying longer items.

These features make the XUV 875M highly adaptable, whether you’re on a farm, grounds-maintenance site, construction job or just transporting gear off-road.

Use-cases & Benefits

• Agriculture/grounds-maintenance: With its heavy payload, large volume box and high towing capacity, the XUV 875M is ideal for ferrying supplies, tools, feed or fence-posts across uneven terrain.

• Construction/contractor use: The strong suspension, four-wheel drive, high ground clearance and cargo workbench tailgate make the vehicle a mobile kit-carrier and site-workhorse.

• Outdoor/recreational work: For mixed use—trail access, remote site servicing, moving materials—the comfort, three-seat capacity and utility make it versatile.

• Commercial fleets: The improved airflow protection, robust drivetrain and configurable storage options lower downtime and boost productivity in professional settings.

Summary

In short, the John Deere Gator XUV 875M takes everything that made earlier Gator utility vehicles reliable and user-friendly, and upgrades them with meaningful refinements. From the elevated air intake safeguarding the engine, to the expansive and functional cargo box designed as a mobile workbench, this model is engineered for serious work – yet retains the comfort and flexibility to be used for demanding terrain, multiple passengers and heavy loads. Whether you’re running a farm, managing maintenance across a large site or simply need a dependable multi-role off-road utility vehicle, the XUV 875M delivers.
