New Holland introduces the Rustler utility vehicle. Case IH introduces the Scout. They are sourced through Club Car. Rustler and Scout are offered in two-passenger or four-passenger versions, with gas or diesel engines, 4×2 or 4×4 axles, and with a wide variety of options and accessories. The only difference in each line is paint colour offerings.
The smaller model has a 14-hp gas engine and shift-on-demand four-wheel drive. The larger models— 20-hp diesel and 23-hp gas — have all-wheel-drive that engages automatically as needed. This system also transfers power to the wheels with the most traction.
