This is a near-new TUT Titan amphibious 4×4 utility truck. It’s a 2024 model with just 60 miles on the odometer, as it was used by the Minnesota-based manufacturer as a display model.
The TUT Titan has Corbeau bucket seating for five inside, it has air conditioning, a full external roll cage, 33″ of ground clearance, and it rides on gargantuan 68″ tires that allow it to float, and they also provide propulsion when on the water.

- Compared to rivals like Sherp and Argo, the Titan offers higher speed and more amenities, with a land top speed between 55–80 mph and aquatic mobility (at much low speeds). Pricing starts slightly above $200,000, though this example may sell for a little less as a former display model.
History Speedrun: The Titan
The Titan is built by TUT Corporation, a specialist manufacturer located in Forest Lake, Minnesota. The company was established to design vehicles for extreme off‑road, utility, rescue, and expedition purposes.
Above Video: This episode of Up North Outdoors covers the TUT Titan, and shows what it’s capable of off-road.
TUT offers both two‑seat “Sport” and five‑seat “Crew” cab configurations, with varying cargo capacities and towing ability.
Under the hood, well perhaps more accurately in the engine bay, lies a GM LS3 6.2 liter V8, delivering approximately 500 hp and 425 lb ft torque. This is mated to a GM 6L80E 6‑speed automatic transmission and a TUT transfer case, sending power forward and backward to heavy‑duty two‑ton axles with locking differentials.
Power is then sent out to the huge 68 inch (5 foot, 8 inch) Kevlar‑reinforced balloon tires, mounted on 24 inch aluminum wheels with internal locks. The Titan has four wheel steering, and it can even crab‑walk when required.
The suspension includes ORI nitrogen struts, adjustable front and rear, with 14 inches of travel and ground clearance 33 inches. The Titan a climb angle rating up to 67° and stable side‑slope handling of up to 48°. It’s rated to tow up to 10,000 lbs and it can carry a payload of 3,500 lbs, despite weighing roughly 5,900 lbs dry.
Both the two‑seat and five‑seat versions have sealed cabs built for safety when using the amphibious capabilities, with onboard bilge pumps to prevent water accumulation.
Depending on the version, the top speed on land is between 55 to 80 mph (depending on the information source). In the water the vehicle floats on its tires and is propelled via tire rotation, both forward and reverse, though top speed is only a few knots.

The sealed cabin includes a heater, full A/C, a digital dashboard, a rear‑view camera and dash monitor, USB ports, cup‑holders, on‑board air for changing tire pressure while on the move, and it also has a winch.
TUT has marketed the Titan toward heavy‑duty commercial, industrial, exploration, search‑and‑rescue, firefighting, military, and recreational uses. Its amphibious ability, combined with winches, towing power, full‑suspension, and surprising top speed when compared to its rivals from companies like Sherp and Argo.
When brand new, the five-seat version of the Tut Titan sells for a little over $200,000 USD. This isn’t cheap, but when you consider the feature list and its capabilities, it puts it right inline with the competition.
