Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Prowler 500 Side-by-Side (2014-2022)
The Arctic Cat Prowler 500, a robust utility side-by-side, was produced from 2014 to 2022. It was known for its versatility and ability to tackle various terrains. Throughout its production, the Prowler 500 consistently featured a 443cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC, Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engine, ensuring consistent performance. A significant change occurred in 2018 and 2019 when the vehicle was marketed as the Textron Off Road Prowler 500 following Arctic Cat's acquisition, before reverting to the Arctic Cat brand for subsequent years. Trim designations evolved from initial HDX, HDX XT, and HDX Limited versions to a simpler Prowler 500, complemented by accessory kits for later models. Updates for 2022 were primarily limited to color changes. Q: How can I ensure the part fits my Prowler 500?
