USA -(AmmoLand.com)- To help customers better connect with the Tough, Capable, and Clever Can-Am Defender side-by-side, Can-Am has launched the Defender Dealer Pilot Program.
The program will run in an open house setting at participating dealers in Iowa, Texas and Minnesota from September 17, 2016 through November 30, 2016.
Built to stand up to any job on the farm, the Can-Am Defender has a 1,000 lb cargo capacity, 1,500 lb payload and 2,000 lb towing capacity. Available in a variety of packages, the Defender can be outfitted with the Rotax HD10 72 hp or HD8 50 hp motors. The cargo box of the Defender has cut outs for 5-gallon buckets. Wood dividers can be added to segment the box. The Defender also boasts several different in-cab storage options to keep gear organized and protected from the elements. The Defender can be accessorized with a variety of products including cab kits, rack accessories, heaters, snowplows and more to make work easier.
Participating dealers will coordinate an onsite event with an agribusiness radio affiliate to help promote the event. Attendees at the event will have the opportunity see all of the features of the Defender. Some dealers will offer a test ride. Each event will also feature the Defender Prize Package Give-Away where participants will have the chance to win a Defender. For more details on the give-away, go to www.winadefender.com.
