New Models Diversify Kubota’s RTV-X Line of Rugged Utility Vehicles

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (October 16, 2024) – From the Equip Exposition tradeshow floor, Kubota Tractor Corporation introduced two upgraded additions to its RTV-X line with the RTV-X CAB and RTV-X CREW models. These models continue the company’s legacy of durable and versatile diesel- powered utility vehicles with elevated features including a redesigned and more aggressive exterior and new heavy-duty multipurpose tires. The new RTV-X CAB and RTV-X CREW models are engineered for farmers, commercial operators, and homeowners who prioritize durability and workability. Both models will be available beginning February 2025 at authorized Kubota dealers in basic, standard, or premium grade options.

“The RTV-X made a serious statement earlier this year with its rugged and durable chassis, Kubota diesel engine, and variable hydrostatic transmission,” said Jacob Mandoza, Kubota senior product manager, utility vehicles. “And now, the CAB and CREW Models offer operators their most valued options right from the factory: the CAB model prioritizes cab comforts while the CREW model prioritizes versatility to handle whatever the day may bring. These were logical enhancements following the success of the updated RTV-X which launched last year. These models have had a ton of success in each of our primary customer markets, including ag, commercial, construction/rental, and residential.”

The RTV-X Series Lineup
Kubota’s RTV-X Series is ready to work and play for you, in almost any weather or terrain while keeping the driver and passengers comfortable. Kubota's VHT-X (Variable Hydraulic Transmission) provides exceptional performance on various terrains with fluent and powerful acceleration. Low- speed driving is made smooth through intuitive throttle control, great traction, and maneuverability with or without loads. You’ll also feel more secure, especially when traveling down long inclines, knowing that dynamic braking is helping to provide additional braking power and greater driving control. The full steel frame helps isolate the driver and passengers from harsh noise and vibrations. Plus, Kubota’s K-Connect and PTO drive system on the RTV-X and RTV-X CAB makes the machine even more versatile by allowing the quick attachment and detachment of a large variety of implements like blades, snowblowers, brooms, and a debris blower.

Kubota’s RTV-X CAB Model: All-Weather Climate-Controlled Cab
Kubota’s RTV-X CAB model takes everything great about the RTV-X base model and adds a fully integrated, factory-installed cab. The climate-controlled cab is designed to keep the operator working and comfortable no matter the weather – from sun to snow. This model includes all the rugged features of the RTV-X Series with the addition of a quieter factory-installed cab with air conditioning, heat and defrost. The new ProKonvert™ system comes standard on the premium grade model of the RTV-X CAB, which allows the cargo bed sides to be easily configured without tools, allowing operators to drop two sides and/or the back tailgate for loading and even converting it into a flatbed. Plus, a hydraulic dump bed, which is standard equipment on all grades, allows for efficient dumping of material as well as precision material placement. The cargo bed is made from durable steel and can be upgraded with a spray-on bedliner for standard models, while premium grades come with the bedliner as a standard feature.

Kubota’s RTV-X CREW Model: Easily Converts from a 2-Seater to a 4-Seater
Kubota’s RTV-X CREW, also built on the beloved RTV-X Series chassis, features Kubota’s K- Vertible™ bed system that converts from a one-row with a long bed and maximum cargo space, to a two-row with a smaller cargo bed and the ability to carry four people. In the one-row configuration, CREW models offer 19.1 cubic feet of storage and a cargo capacity of 1,102 pounds; while in the two-row configuration, this changes to 9.9 cubic feet of storage and a cargo capacity of 661 pounds. The best part? It can easily convert between a 1-row and a 2-row machine, without the use of tools. Plus, the bed dumps in either configuration without having to make any machine adjustments.

The new RTV-X CAB and CREW models will be available in three color options: Kubota orange, RealTree® Camo, and desert sand. For more information or to find an authorized Kubota dealer near you, visit www.KubotaUSA.com.
