John Deere introduced their 2011 lineup last June, and I was lucky enough to travel to Carolina Adventure World to try the new Gators out. Top of the list of enhancements to the Gator lineup was the all new XUV 825i. XUV is short for Crossover Utility Vehicle and it is John Deere’s intent to move the Gator from pure work/utility to more or a utility/sport UTV.
