Kubota is rolling out a new RTV-X model this month, with a 6-foot-long adjustable cargo bed with hydraulic dump, diesel engine and an “aggressive exterior.”
The two-seater RTV-X Long Bed is the next generation of the RTV-X1130 released in 2024 that featured a 6-foot-long bed whose side rails and tailgate can be dropped down. The side rails can also be removed, enabling the operator to have a full flat bed.
The steel bed can hold up to 1,212 pounds, and the RTV can tow 1,300 pounds.
The RTV-X Long Bed comes in either orange or camo colors. Kubota
The RTV features a new hood and high/low LED headlights, along with new HDMP (heavy-duty multipurpose) tires.
A revised VHT-X (variable hydraulic) transmission delivers improved gear shifting especially on sloped terrain, the company says. Kubota also updated the tailgate handle for easy removal.

The four-wheel-drive RTV Long Bed runs on a 24.8-horsepower Kubota diesel engine and reaches a top speed of 25 mph.
RTV-X models are equipped with multi-disc wet brakes and dynamic braking, which helps when going down hills for additional braking power and driving control. Its high-rigidity steel frame is designed to isolate occupants from noise and vibration on rough terrain and when carrying heavy loads, the company says.
“Kubota launched the upgraded RTV-X line in 2023 with its rugged and durable chassis, Kubota diesel engine, and variable hydrostatic transmission,” said Jacob Mandoza, Kubota senior product manager for utility vehicles. “And now, the Long Bed model diversifies the line and offers operators the versatility that a 6-foot bed brings. It’s the long bed that our primary customer markets have been asking for.”
The new RTV-X Long Bed is scheduled to arrive at Kubota dealerships this month.
