The Fat Truck is engineered to conquer the toughest landscapes Earth throws its way, from snow and ice to water, mud, floating bog, loam, peat, and everything in between. Its amphibious prowess means it navigates through land and water with equal ease, making it your ultimate all-terrain companion.

Fat Trucks are proudly Canadian-made, so getting units and parts is a breeze.

Oh, and forget about using dangerous exhaust gas to inflate our tires! Plus, why on earth would we want to come to a complete stop and play "levers and latches" just to engage "zero radius turn" mode? We're all about keeping it simple and snappy.
