Features:

A new model has been added to the 2009 Arctic Cat UTV lineup: A flat-bed UTV with stake pockets. The Prowler 550 is geared towards ranch and farm users that will need the ability to load oversized items without worrying about fitting the load inside a more typical bed. The bed is fixed and does not tilt, but is lined with stake pockets.

All new for 2009 is our workhorse Prowler 550 H1 EFI Flatbed, for those who need a little more “hump-busting” from their machine. It features all that is awesome about owning a Prowler, but is simple and ready for duty.

Arctic Cat has continually improved and expanded the Prowler line-up since the introduction of the Prowler XT in 2006.

Combining sporty features while not losing any of its functional “work” qualities, the highly agile Prowler line provides the ultimate all-around recreational machine.

The cab of every Prowler is equipped with dual bucket seats and driver/passenger seat belts, a center console complete with drink holders and dual 12v accessory plugs. The open air cab has a full canopy and various storage compartments like a dash mounted tray shelf, glove box with door and an easily accessible molded tool kit located under the passenger-side seat.

Keeping true to Arctic Cat ATV heritage, the Prowler was designed to conquer any job when it comes to storage and hauling capacities. The black powdercoated steel flatbed with stake pockets allows a lower bed height for easier loading and unloading of upwards of 600lbs.

Hardcore jobs and hardcore fun are only executed when provided with Arctic Cat-built engines, drivetrain and suspension systems. Born and bred at Arctic Cat, the new 550 H1 EFI has a powerful 545cc, SOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, designed for a wide torque curve with the smoothest power delivery via Electronic Fuel Injection. Cold weather starting and altitude changes are no longer questionable. Compared to the Suzuki 500 motor, the Arctic Cat 550 H1 EFI has 12% more horsepower and 25% more torque at a lower RPM. The Duramatic automatic transmission has dynamic engine braking with Low, High, Neutral and Reverse.

Arctic Cat engineers have laid to rest the claims of “best” suspension travel and ground clearance by other manufacturers.

The front and rear suspensions are Fully Independent with a double A-arm front design and a double a-arm rear design with 10” of suspension travel for sure footed offroad prowess. Spring preload adjustable shocks are used on all four corners for the ultimate in terrain and load adjustability, while off-roading capabilities are enhanced by 10” of ground clearance, a front locking 4wd differential and rear mounted swaybar for improved trail driving.

Steel 14” wheels are standard with 26x9R14 Goodyear MTR front tires and 26x11R14 Goodyear MTRs in the rear for the ultimate in offroad traction.

Once again, Arctic Cat provides a new category entrant that will suit any taste. So hop in, and hit the gas on the good times.
