The Frontier 6x6 offered consumers three different engine options.  The first to launch in 2007 was the 650 Frontier with 23hp and following in 2008 was the 580 Frontier with 18hp and the Frontier 480 with 14hp.  All were powered by a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard carbureted air-cooled engine mated to the Argo Generation II planetary differential transmission with high/low forward, neutral and reverse that was available in either standard or an optional factory installed 3.3 low gear ratio transmission.  To verify what ratio your transmission has, check to the left of the dipstick for a stamped 3.3, if there is only a serial number then you have high gear transmission, if you see 3.3 then you have a low gear version.

All Frontier 6x6 models featured the Argo / Carlisle 24x1-8 (610 mm) 4 ply mud and swim tires to give this machine great traction and best in class payload all while providing a swim speed of 3.0 mph.  The dashboard gauges were analog in 2008 and in 2009 Argo upgraded to a digital LCD display.   In 2010 the bearings and axles were upgraded to the heavy duty axles and 72mm heavy duty bearings increasing bearing life and reliability of the drive system.  A skid plate and front and rear bearing extensions were standard on the 650 model, but optional on both the 480 and 580 versions.  Mid year 2015 the Frontier 650 and 580 were discontinued and replaced with the Frontier EFI 19hp and 23hp 6x6 models.

The Frontier 650 6x6 is powered by a 4-stroke OHV V-Twin air-cooled 627cc, 23 hp (17 kW) Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine and uses maintenance kit # M-203.  The Frontier 580 6x6 is powered by a 4-stroke OHV V-Twin air-cooled 570cc, 18 hp (13.4 kW) Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine and the Frontier 480 6x6 is powered by a 4-stroke OHV V-Twin air-cooled 480cc, 14 hp (10.4 kW) Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine.  The 480 and 580 use maintenance kit # M-202.  All Frontier versions have a load capacity of up to 700 lb. / 317 kg on land and 500 lb. / 227 kg capacity on water with the 24" tires installed.  It can transport 4 passengers on land, 2 on water and features towing capacity of 1200 lb. / 545 kg.
