Tomcar TX is a multi-purpose all-terrain vehicle manufactured by Tomcar, a US-based producer of year-round-use, off-road utility terrain vehicles (UTVs).

The vehicle is highly functional, durable, and versatile and can operate under most demanding conditions.

Tomcar TX design reduces down-time with its extreme durability, payload, and easy maintenance. It can be easily deployed through parachute system.

The all-terrain vehicles from Tomcar are primarily designed for military purposes, however, the vehicles are also used in mining, emergency response, tourism, security and patrol, as well as ranching and agriculture industries.

Tomcar TX design and features

The Tomcar TX vehicle offers safe and smooth ride as its fully-welded steel frame and roll cage as well as fully-enclosed aircraft-grade aluminium skid plate are based on four-wheel independent suspension.

The Tomcar TX vehicle is easy to drive and maintain and comes with high safety rating. The design of the skid plate features CVT heavy, final drive, on-the-fly two-wheel- or four-wheel-drive engagement, on-the-fly front/rear differential, pneumatic lockers and reverse transfer case.

The vehicle can be upgraded with various options based on customer requirements. It can be fitted with rear load compensators, automotive windshield, PRP suspension seats, half/full doors, dual fuel tank, winch, canopy, spare wheel, trail bag, jerry can kit and LED light bar.

Tomcar TX’s four-wheel independent suspension offers 13.5in travel for the rear trailing arms and 14in for the front dual arms. The 120in-long wheelbase allows the vehicle to cruise across tough terrains.

The vehicle features extremely low centre of gravity which maximises safety, stability and performance, while also allowing the vehicle to cut through sharp corners and handle extreme side-slopes.

The interchangeable suspension components and unique structural geometry directs maximum traction to the rear wheels.
