Kubota’s New RTV-X1130 with Adjustable 6-Foot Cargo Bed
Kubota rolled out a new Rugged Terrain Vehicle at World of Concrete earlier this year, where we got a walkaround tour of the diesel-powered RTV-X1130.

New for the RTV-X1130 is a 6-foot-long bed whose side rails and tailgate can be dropped down, as demonstrated in the video above. The side rails can also be removed, enabling the operator to have a full flat bed.

The model is based on the RTV-X1140 chassis, but instead of a second row of seats, Kubota extended the steel bed for carrying a variety of loads, including dirt, sand and gravel. The 26.4-cubic-foot bed also hydraulically dumps. Payload is 1,212 pounds, and it has a 1,300-pound towing capacity.

The four-wheel-drive X1130 has independent suspension on each wheel as well as Kubota’s Extra Duty Independent Rear Suspension.

Other features on the X1130 include a high-rigidity steel frame designed to isolate occupants from noise and vibration on rough terrain and when carrying heavy loads.

Options for the RTV-X1130 include a tailgate extender that touches the ground for loading when the bed is fully raised for dumping. A winch can be installed in the bed for hauling in objects onto the bed. And an LED light cargo panel is also available.
