Simplicity Turf Cruiser Utility Vehicle

The Turf Cruiser is a tough reliable utility vehicle and the Trail Cruiser is its off-road cousin.
The Turf Cruiser touts a 16-hp Briggs & Stratton Vanguard™ V-twin engine that provides forward ground speeds up to 20 mph. Variable automatic transmission, differential lock and independent front suspension allow it to handle its ½-ton payload capacity* and 1000-lb towing capacity with ease. A 1500-watt onboard generator is available.
The Trail Cruiser mirrors the features of the Turf Cruiser with on-board generator, but adds a protective brush bar, front electric winch and off-road tires.
