2026 Can-Am Commander XT 700

2026 Can‑Am Commander XT 700 Alright — buckle up, because here are why you should buy the 2026 Commander XT 700, with a sprinkle of humor: 1. Versatile for work and play

• With a 650 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine producing 52 hp and 42 lb-ft of torque, it’s not a drag-strip rocket—but that’s the point: you get serious utility with fun. 

• Towing capacity up to 2,000 lb (yes, two thousand pounds) and a cargo box 600 lb capacity — so yes, you can haul that lumber, feed, or “where-did-we-get-all-this-junk” run. 

• Ground clearance of ~13 in keeps you off the rocks and less “bottom scraping” than embarrassingly dragging your trailer.

2. Trail ready, but still practical

• Selectable drive modes: Turf / 2WD / 4WD with auto-locking front differential. Turf mode means less damage on the lawn when you roll through. 

• 28-inch XPS Trail King tires on 14-inch cast-aluminum wheels (in XT trim) mean you’re not fudging around with old tractor tires. You are rolling legit. 

• Digital dashboard (7.6-inch display with keypad) adds a bit of “tech” to your off-road machine — so you won’t feel like you’re driving a wagon.

3. The all-weather warrior

• Comes with a full hard roof, XT front bumper, premium half doors, heavy-duty skid plate — so whether you’re doing chores in rain, ripping trails, or just trying to “look legit” in your yard, you’re covered. 

• MSRP starts around US $17,199 (for 700 model) — decent value given the gear you’re getting. 

4. Real-world “good enough” power

• Yes, it’s not the high-horsepower 1000R version (which boasts ~100 hp) — but for many of us, the 700 hits the sweet spot: enough oomph to get thrilled, without the “oh-man, what did I just buy” maintenance/insurance jokes.

• Bonus: If your trails are shared, used for work, or you want one machine that can do it all — this is it.

Quick punchline

If you want a machine that can haul, trail, work, and look good doing it, without being over-the-top or ridiculously expensive — the 2026 Commander XT 700 brings the “I’ll get stuff done, and still have fun” vibe.
And who doesn’t want that? 🚜🎉
