Backcountry Guardian
About The Backcountry Guardian
The Backcountry Guardian is TNT Solution's flagship fire and rescue UTV — a purpose-built emergency response vehicle engineered from the ground up to perform where full-sized apparatus can’t go. Built on the proven CF Moto U10 Pro Highland XL platform and equipped with pump-and-roll capability, a 100-gallon water tank, integrated Whelen Core® control, and professional-grade lighting, the Guardian delivers true fire-truck performance in an agile, off-road package. Designed for departments that demand power, reliability, and innovation, the Backcountry Guardian is ready to protect where it matters most.
Platform & Core Specifications
Chassis Platform
We built on the CF Moto U10 Pro Highland XL because it already includes the power, comfort, and electronic architecture that emergency applications demand. TNT Solutions builds upon that solid base with firefighting, rescue, and Lighting systems—transforming an already capable UTV into a fully integrated, mission-ready emergency response unit.
Emergency Lighting System
The Whelen T-Series lightheads deliver powerful, compact warning illumination in an ultra-slim (~0.5″) profile, with options in SOLO™, DUO™, or TRIO™ color configurations and multiple flash patterns for maximum visibility. Designed with Linear Super-LED® optics, hard-coated lenses, and rugged sealing, the T-Series offers exceptional performance even in harsh environmental conditions.
Water Capacity
The Backcountry Guardian carries an industry-leading 100-gallon built in water tank, giving it the highest water capacity of any fire-specific UTV to date. This expanded volume allows crews to perform extended suppression and pump-and-roll operations without the constant need for refilling, delivering true fire-truck capability in an off-road-ready package.
Rescue Functions
Integrated Electronics
With Plenty of rope storage, and the ability to transport a full length stokes basket without overhang is a huge bonus for those offroad rescues. The Guardian is the most well equipped unit to handle both fire suppression and rescue capabilities - all in one unit.
Versatile Pumping

The Backcountry Guardian is engineered for true firefighting versatility—it can;
Pump and roll
Operate as a stationary pump
a relay pump for larger apparatus.
Its integrated pump system and custom plumbing allow crews to maintain full water pressure while the vehicle is in motion, supply continuous flow when parked, or boost water through long hose lays—making it adaptable to any fire scenario.

TNT Solutions chose the Whelen Core® control system to manage all emergency and auxiliary functions because it delivers unmatched reliability, customization, and integration. Core’s vehicle-wide network architecture allows TNT to seamlessly control lighting, sirens, and scene functions through a single, programmable interface—ensuring consistent operation, advanced diagnostics, and true fire-truck-level control in a compact UTV platform.
Why a Built in Water Tank?
The Backcountry Guardian carries its 100-gallon water tank within the heart of the unit, not just sitting in the bed. By integrating the tank inside the chassis, weight stays balanced, handling stays confident, and safety stays uncompromised — even in the roughest terrain. This design gives firefighters and rescue personnel a more stable, predictable ride and ensures critical water supply is protected from impact or freezing conditions. It’s smarter engineering that means more control, more safety, and more capability when it matters most.
The Backcountry Guardian’s 100-gallon tank is custom-built from high-strength polyethylene. Poly construction eliminates corrosion, resists cracking, and absorbs vibration far better than steel or aluminum, making it ideal for off-road firefighting conditions. Its molded and CNC Cut design prevents leaks, reduces weight, and keeps maintenance near zero. Built to handle extreme terrain and temperature swings, this tank delivers long-term durability and performance you can trust — no rust, no welds, no compromise.
Every Backcountry Guardian water tank is part of a fully engineered suppression system — not just a standalone reservoir. The tank’s internal baffle structure minimizes water surge on steep grades, keeping the unit stable and responsive. A low-draw pickup ensures consistent flow to the pump, even at extreme angles, while the integrated fill and drain ports make refilling fast and maintenance effortless. It’s a complete, purpose-built system designed for real-world firefighting — efficient, balanced, and ready when seconds count.
Optional Track System
When it came to selecting the right track system for the Backcountry lineup, we knew it had to be Canadian-made. Track Systems Canada designs and manufactures their tracks right here at home — built for our terrain, our winters, and the demands of real-world emergency response. Their systems feature a larger footprint than other brands, providing superior weight distribution, flotation, and traction across soft, uneven, or snow-covered ground. With fewer moving parts and a simpler, more robust design, they deliver reliability, reduced maintenance, and long-term durability. By choosing Track Systems Canada, we’re not only supporting Canadian innovation — we’re equipping any Backcountry unit with the confidence to go anywhere, any time.
