From a Wasilla base, the all‑new Can‑Am Defender XMR 3‑Seater turns Alaska’s dirt tracks and backcountry approaches into a straightforward, three‑up access point for fishing holes, hunting grounds and trail networks—built to carry a driver and two passengers in a purpose‑made utility side‑by‑side.

THE MACHINE

2023 Can‑Am Defender XMR — three seats, serious capability

A brand‑new 2023 Defender XMR configured to seat three people, intended for trail work, dirt roads and hauling gear to fishing or hunting spots—built to combine passenger comfort with utility.

THE FREEDOM

Unlimited mileage with day or week rentals

Rent by the day or by the week with no mileage limits—designed for guests who want to stretch into remote corridors without tracking odometer penalties.

THE ACCESS

Wasilla base with trailhead delivery to Jim Creek

The operator serves Wasilla and offers local trailhead delivery and pickup to the Jim Creek Recreation Area parking lot (follow from the office for the approximately 15‑minute transfer).

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

The rental experience is straightforward: arrive at the Wasilla office, complete the paperwork and vehicle checks, hitch and load the Defender, then head straight to the trails—whether you’re hunting a fresh run, rolling into lakeside fishing spots or simply carving singletrack. The machine’s three‑person cabin turns utility into shared adventure, and the operator’s delivery option gets you to the Jim Creek trailhead if you prefer not to drive a truck and trailer yourself.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits best—and who should rethink it.

1
Active trios & small groupsIdeal for three‑person teams who want to travel together—seating for three makes it straightforward to share driving and navigation responsibilities; booking requires at least one renter aged 16 or older to sign the agreement.
2
Families with childrenAll ages can ride as passengers, making the Defender a practical choice for family outings, though the person who books and signs must be at least 16.
3
Responsible gear haulersBest for renters prepared to load their own machines, manage fueling and cleaning, and accept a $2,500 card hold for damages—operators expect returns in the same condition or will apply cleaning/fuel charges.
4
Short‑stay visitors and day trippersAppeals to people on tight schedules: rentals are sold by the day (9am start / 8am end) or by the week, with pick‑up windows and delivery options to support quick turnarounds—confirm pick‑up and pick‑up cutoffs when booking.
