The only similarity between a Sherp and a FatBoy (FB) is the concept. Sherp is self sustaining and backwoods repairable. FB is complicated 1. FB, good luck repairing your steering 2.Sherp provides minimal tools, but that's all you need. 3. FB is maintenance free, heh heh heh that means when it breaks down you can't maintain it. LOL The similarities are skin deep. Sherp is for true backwoods, FB is for Glampers. I would love a head to head 1K excursion just to prove the point.
Yes, this is typically of a Quebec company. " Oh here a idea that works let do the same". And I can say that because I'm from there. I seen so many corner store copying the next and killing the 2 store because of the little market left.
@@mxadema lol indeed and as a somewhat wry observation . If the Chinese had done this to a us company there would be hell to pay .but as it's the Canadians doing it to the Russians then there is nothing to see here move along
It looks like a Sherp but the underlying tech is completely different. This thing is much more complex mechanically. Not really a good thing in this use case. And the price is stupid high. For that money they could have gone electric with a huge battery pack and 4 hub motors. Could run tools, Air, charge on a solar array or wind turbine. Maybe it'll do well in Canada but yes its definitely a Sherp ripoff
Don't worry, if anyone actually studies these things they will notice immediately the complexity of this pretender. Sherp is simplicity for the common Prepper, Survivalist and Enthusiast. This thing is for Glamping.
This is Canadian, and Canada in invented the first ATV, and FIRST amphibious in 1959, the Jigor, you may want to do some history about snowmobiles too, a little company called Bombardier, most popular and highest sold ATV on earth?, but we are are not bragging eh
Sherp isn't the original all terrain vehicle to be able to drive on water and side by sides have been around since at least the Honda Odyssey (not to be confused with the minivan), while it is in a class of it's own it definitely doesn't offer anything new.
@@Studio23Media I'm not saying it isn't a kick ass all terrain vehicle, I'm just saying Sherp uses technology already in place so the Fat Truck didn't copy Sherp as the OP implies.

Nah, this is so complicatedly mechanically different, it wont get past the first lawsuit. Anyone that buys one of these without comparing it to the details of a Sherp is neither a Prepper, Survivalist or Enthusiast.
@@bruceleealmighty yes while the fat truck uses joystick electric over hydraulic/hydrostatic Drive and the Sherp uses a manual transmission with brake calipers and roller chain drive. 90% of John Q.

Dam it I should have been a lawyer!
@@adamhensel4877 Actually and in some minor cases unfortunately the shape is of little consequence when it comes to litigation. There are several vehicles that are in most cases conceptually more similar to Sherp than Fat Truck. All will not find litigation possibilities by way of Sherp or it's owners. Sherp did not patent concept or shape, it merely registered its configuration as the concept and shape is open by way of Russian government trials. This is the same commissioning that has been done through Russian hierarchy even when it was the CCCP (USSR). Nah, nothing is going to happen here. In the world of patents and concept interpretations are abundant. Again, these vehicles have little similarity other than superficially and virtually cosmetic.
@@bruceleealmighty while I don’t know what patients they have on concept or shape or design. What they would have working for them is Icon infringement, that’s where I would see the lawsuit coming up. But I’m also talking about the U.S. where lawsuits are breakfast affairs. And if this is even applicable in the U.S. because Sherp is Ukraine and Fat Truck is Canadian. I’m sure someone will try and make a buck there though, weather is has to go to a world court or can be settled in another country would be interesting to know.
@cpt awesome how is sierra different from silverado when both are made by the same company under one roof in indiana?....as for the fat truck while its canadian it still is a copy/paste and a little photoshop of the sherp...ride safe amigo
SHERP was the first, and should be respected and given credit. Now, is the stupidly named "fat truck" better? Looks to me like it is more complicated with the joystick, and wouldn't be possible to fix in the field. .... Call the dealer out to BFN to fix or tow it! ... MORE expensive doesn't mean better, so let's see a review of both head to head.
They made the steering better/easier and getting in and out easier the individual fold down seating in the rear is an improvement in my opinion. That's just what I got from the video.
@@vaughnburrows I don't know. I think the simple benches in the back of the Sherp are better since allot of people I see with these things are usually just 1 to 2 people and they use the back for cargo or the odd extra passenger. Also the Design of the Sherp lets you open the front window when you're in water....This doesn't look like you can open the front at all when driving.
@@loganholmberg2295 The Beauty of it all is that I prefer the fold down seats to use it as a family adventure vehicle and you seem to prefer the regular benches but now both you and I have options, now they just need to bring down the price some how without sacrificing quality. Not saying I'm going to buy one, but you never know when an extra 100,000 could end up on your lap.
I've been in a Sherp. If you have the means and you like going through bogs and swamps its worth it. Its also surprising fun to fish and swim off of. But yeah it is expensive. Ouch
Sherp USA Dealer You can bring your attachment or trailer because a sherp is not road leagal the thing is slow by the time you bring it I be gone with the shaman hunting rescue etc. it's got the suspension and amphibious it's just better The sherp with the trailer is not manoeuvrable but the shaman is because it's a complete package. The shaman avotoros 8x8 70mph road legal beats the sherp fat truck and not destructive to the environment. Compare tires design the shaman is friendlier to the environment that's why the Russian design it for.
@@briangreen8887 Too bad Shaman hasn't figured out how to import into the USA. Figure that out, buy one for over twice the cost of a Sherp, figure out how to license it without a title, bring it to our track and I'll bring the rope to pull you out of the first swamp you try. I love Shaman, I've tried to figure out how to import them, but the fact remains, they are not as off road capable as a Sherp.
All this knock off whining is annoying. Everything from the wheel to folding knives to watches to bicycles to skis to quad to snowmobiles and on and on ALL HAVE BEEN COPIED ONCE HITTING THE MARKET. Everything you've ever used is a knock off of some original hand made relic. Be less rediculous people!
driven by a digital joystick? this is something that will fail eventually and if you're unlucky you'll be stranded in the middle of nowhere! that is a stupid design flow.
I don’t know about the new Sherp but the previous model sells for $110 USD and is powered by a far more reliable Kubota turbo diesel and Kubota hydraulics. Caterpillar isn’t what it was years ago.
Really? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck. This is a SHERP. Sherp design, Sherp idea. Looks like a Sherp. Canada should be ashamed of itself.
It's very funny. Sherp stole the idea and the prototype from Alexei Garagashian, and you stole the idea from Sherp by making a copy of him. I hope Alexey and his new all-terrain vehicle AG 20 will be successful in the world.
So,, The SHERP is the ultimate All Terrain vehicle, Very simple&VERY reliable in any conditions.. And the Fat Truck is a Knock off for Construction sites etc
Wachu mean don't call it a sherp?! Edit: Ok it has the same loading capacity, it can go up 35° inclines just like the new sherp...it does have an engine with one more cylinder than the sherp...it looks like it has a few more gadgets inside but I'm bot sure cuz I haven't seen the inside of the new sherp yet...ok it can go faster that the new sherp I think, probably cuz of the engine with more cylinders (I guess).
the only difference between this and the sherp is build quality and longevity. Russian sherp will still be working in 50years while this POS will need to be recycled in 2.
It's nothing but a rip off... Same body design. Same tore design. Same steering same everything I would never buy something that is a pure rip off of another original design. If I could afford it in the first place.
You should look up Trekol. It's not nearly as hardcore all terrain as the sheep but it beats most vehicles and it has a lot more cargo and is road legal with a much higher speed.
Sad they had to copy the Sherp yet sell for more then a Sherp and the Sherp is a better offer goes longer runs better can do more. Sorry I would buy a Sherp any day knowing it was their Idea first and they have been doing this a lot longer . Sherp has my vote. Now if you sold the Fat truck for under 20.000 Maybe .
Sherp rip-off. Come on Canada. You can do better. Knowing the Canadians they will brag that it was their idea first and it’s better than anyone else’s! Lol. 😄
Wooow!!..... this design must have took a lot of thought. It looks very original. I’ve never seen anything like it........NOT!!!!!!........ I hate a thief!!!
Like Russia doesn't copy the west. Russia is the 2nd biggest technology thief behind China. Anyway, if it's a copy, Canada is a country with "Rule of Law", unlike Russia, and the Russians can bring suit if it's a copy, which it isn't.

Also TFLT: _"__#sherp__"_
Lets be clear. The copied the Russians Sherp!! Just because you make something larger doesn't mean its not a copy!
If it looks like a dog, barks like a dog, and has most characteristics of a dog.........well.....it's a dog. If it has more features, it's a new dog breed. It still is a DOG. I didn't call it a Sherp.
@Stable Genius that's the sound of the police
It’s a wolf in sherps clothing
It’s a hybrid dog 😜
You don't call your toaster a "shameless copy" of the first one ever invented, even though they are identical in almost every way.
@@specialopsdave actually you do. Why? Because simplicity is its origin. Self explanatory. Bad analogy.
@@wannabeangler Well how about calling every single minivan a shameless copy of the Honda Odyssey? Or every ATV a shameless copy of the first ATV ever made?
Sheep has storage in the center of the tire sherp blows this thing away
it is a safety leak and comtaminent hazard. Honestly i have had both. The sherp is cheap and chain driven. The Fat Truck is hydrostatic. Believe me there is NO COMPARISON in my opinion from having both.
@@chriskriaris4304 sherps break down and you have no one too work on it thats whats happening...foreign engine with no part numbers
Sherp lawsuit against the copycats in 5....4...3....2...
I hope so.
Nah, this is so complicatedly mechanically different, it wont get past the first lawsuit. Anyone that buys one of these without comparing it to the details of a Sherp is neither a Prepper, Survivalist or Enthusiast.
@@bruceleealmighty yes while the fat truck uses joystick electric over hydraulic/hydrostatic Drive and the Sherp uses a manual transmission with brake calipers and roller chain drive. 90% of John Q. Public isn’t going to know that, or know that these are different brands all together and a good lawyer only needs to point out that both Riggs look almost identical, meaning fat truck is trying to use Sherp’s name/looks Recognition to their benefit. As pointed out by almost everyone who’s know seen a fat truck on TH-cam has pointed out it’s Obvious copy of a Sherp with some minor changes to the overall functionality of the vehicle.
Dam it I should have been a lawyer!
@@adamhensel4877 Actually and in some minor cases unfortunately the shape is of little consequence when it comes to litigation. There are several vehicles that are in most cases conceptually more similar to Sherp than Fat Truck. All will not find litigation possibilities by way of Sherp or it's owners. Sherp did not patent concept or shape, it merely registered its configuration as the concept and shape is open by way of Russian government trials. This is the same commissioning that has been done through Russian hierarchy even when it was the CCCP (USSR). Nah, nothing is going to happen here. In the world of patents and concept interpretations are abundant. Again, these vehicles have little similarity other than superficially and virtually cosmetic.
@@bruceleealmighty while I don’t know what patients they have on concept or shape or design. What they would have working for them is Icon infringement, that’s where I would see the lawsuit coming up. But I’m also talking about the U.S. where lawsuits are breakfast affairs. And if this is even applicable in the U.S. because Sherp is Ukraine and Fat Truck is Canadian. I’m sure someone will try and make a buck there though, weather is has to go to a world court or can be settled in another country would be interesting to know.
It’s a sherp copy.
That guy from the trade show is a pretty realistic robot! "This vehicle is equipped to accommodate individuals"🙄
He is a similar model as mark zuckerborg
Sherp ripoff
It’s the Derp Sherp
canada: it's the derp sherp
russia: they took our jerrrrrrbbbbssss
Counterfeit sherp
Stole sherps design . see you in court.
To bad there is no concept of copyright law in Ukraine/Russia
@@userasdf1546 you r wrong
It's like Sherp is a Sierra and "fat truck" is a Silverado.
Totttttttally different vehicle.
cpt awesome different in name same in function
That is sherp vihecles.
Basicly the Fat truck is a Less reliable and Less capable copy of a sherp
Angelica Dela cruz tf is a “vihecle”
@cpt awesome how is sierra different from silverado when both are made by the same company under one roof in indiana?....as for the fat truck while its canadian it still is a copy/paste and a little photoshop of the sherp...ride safe amigo
SHERP was the first, and should be respected and given credit. Now, is the stupidly named "fat truck" better? Looks to me like it is more complicated with the joystick, and wouldn't be possible to fix in the field. .... Call the dealer out to BFN to fix or tow it! ... MORE expensive doesn't mean better, so let's see a review of both head to head.
So it's the 'I'm not a sherp' sherp... thiefssssss
Stole sherp idea and platform they should sue 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎🥺
Did they buy right to the pattern or are they going to be getting a lawsuit in the near future?
If you are going to copy sherp it needs to be better or cheaper. Not seeing that.
They made the steering better/easier and getting in and out easier the individual fold down seating in the rear is an improvement in my opinion. That's just what I got from the video.
@@vaughnburrows I don't know. I think the simple benches in the back of the Sherp are better since allot of people I see with these things are usually just 1 to 2 people and they use the back for cargo or the odd extra passenger. Also the Design of the Sherp lets you open the front window when you're in water....This doesn't look like you can open the front at all when driving.
@@loganholmberg2295 The Beauty of it all is that I prefer the fold down seats to use it as a family adventure vehicle and you seem to prefer the regular benches but now both you and I have options, now they just need to bring down the price some how without sacrificing quality. Not saying I'm going to buy one, but you never know when an extra 100,000 could end up on your lap.
Yeah.. Its Sherp.. Common.. Get Real!
100 grand too much, absolutely ridiculous.
I've been in a Sherp. If you have the means and you like going through bogs and swamps its worth it. Its also surprising fun to fish and swim off of. But yeah it is expensive. Ouch
Looks like a SHERP
I wonder where the "fat truck" got the design? It's literally just like something else. I jus can't remember what.
YES!!! I would Love to see a comparison between the Sherp, This, and a Shaaman the 8 wheeled Russian made unit. Now THAT Would Be Cool.
I'll bring the rope so I can pull everyone else out when THEY get stuck...
Avtoros Shaman
8x8 will drag both of these sherp and fat truck away 😂
@@briangreen8887 So can I bring the 10 x 10 Sherp Ark then? Ha!
Sherp USA Dealer
You can bring your attachment or trailer because a sherp is not road leagal the thing is slow by the time you bring it I be gone with the shaman hunting rescue etc.
it's got the suspension and amphibious it's just better
The sherp with the trailer is not manoeuvrable but the shaman is because it's a complete package.
The shaman avotoros
8x8 70mph road legal beats the sherp fat truck and not destructive to the environment. Compare tires design the shaman is friendlier to the environment that's why the Russian design it for.
@@briangreen8887 Too bad Shaman hasn't figured out how to import into the USA. Figure that out, buy one for over twice the cost of a Sherp, figure out how to license it without a title, bring it to our track and I'll bring the rope to pull you out of the first swamp you try. I love Shaman, I've tried to figure out how to import them, but the fact remains, they are not as off road capable as a Sherp.
Hydrostatic drive? So basically "hey, you know that Sherp thing? Let's add more points of failure and systems that can't be fixed remote areas"
Don't call it a Sherp!! Call it a COPY SHERP!
REALL SHERP ... AND SOME OF performance th-cam.com/video/254XVudQg0M/w-d-xo.html This new thing is playing in sand box :-)
It's a "Sherplicate"
Changed the sticker on the Sherp.
So its a knock off sherp that cost more and goes slower with more hp? Right ✅
Not to mention less storage space, less fuel tanks, much more maintenance (hydrostatic Bah) etc etc...
So it’s a rip off sherp
bUt It'S wiDeR
So it's a sherp but red.
All this knock off whining is annoying.
Everything from the wheel to folding knives to watches to bicycles to skis to quad to snowmobiles and on and on ALL HAVE BEEN COPIED ONCE HITTING THE MARKET.
Everything you've ever used is a knock off of some original hand made relic.
Be less rediculous people!
These vehicles are adorable and hilarious, in a good way.
driven by a digital joystick? this is something that will fail eventually and if you're unlucky you'll be stranded in the middle of nowhere! that is a stupid design flow.
Sherp✔
I rather spend money on the sherp and support the original creators... Although the fat truck looks more luxurious and maybe safer who the heck cares?
I don’t know about the new Sherp but the previous model sells for $110 USD and is powered by a far more reliable Kubota turbo diesel and Kubota hydraulics. Caterpillar isn’t what it was years ago.
Really? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck. This is a SHERP. Sherp design, Sherp idea. Looks like a Sherp. Canada should be ashamed of itself.
ITS SHERP
wonder if sherp will take this to court
It's very funny. Sherp stole the idea and the prototype from Alexei Garagashian, and you stole the idea from Sherp by making a copy of him.
I hope Alexey and his new all-terrain vehicle AG 20 will be successful in the world.
Soo, a knock-off Sherp...
So,, The SHERP is the ultimate All Terrain vehicle, Very simple&VERY reliable in any conditions.. And the Fat Truck is a Knock off for Construction sites etc
Isn't that, what you would call "intellectual theft"?
Not cool!
Wachu mean don't call it a sherp?!
Edit: Ok it has the same loading capacity, it can go up 35° inclines just like the new sherp...it does have an engine with one more cylinder than the sherp...it looks like it has a few more gadgets inside but I'm bot sure cuz I haven't seen the inside of the new sherp yet...ok it can go faster that the new sherp I think, probably cuz of the engine with more cylinders (I guess).
It's a copy of the sherp!
the only difference between this and the sherp is build quality and longevity. Russian sherp will still be working in 50years while this POS will need to be recycled in 2.
SHERP knockoff
It's nothing but a rip off... Same body design. Same tore design. Same steering same everything I would never buy something that is a pure rip off of another original design. If I could afford it in the first place.
They should make a camper/motorhome edition, about twice as long with 6 tires.
Or you could get a Sherp The ark
You should look up Trekol. It's not nearly as hardcore all terrain as the sheep but it beats most vehicles and it has a lot more cargo and is road legal with a much higher speed.
Sad they had to copy the Sherp yet sell for more then a Sherp and the Sherp is a better offer goes longer runs better can do more. Sorry I would buy a Sherp any day knowing it was their Idea first and they have been doing this a lot longer . Sherp has my vote. Now if you sold the Fat truck for under 20.000 Maybe .
Fine. I won't call it a Sherp. But this IN NOT a truck.
(I'm absolutely gonna call it a Sherp. Because it's a Sherp.)
Somewhat like Ski-Doo and Band-Aid control their markets with the name, Sherp has definitely cornered this market with its name.
so if its not a sherp i guess we should call it a HARLEY BENTON? because its a complete ripoff of the sherp
ITS A FRICKING SHERP
Boooooo! Shameless copycat! This company deserves bankruptcy.
Don’t call it a sherp, we put loads of effort into copying them, give us some credit!
You don't call your toaster a "shameless copy" of the first one ever invented, even though they are identical in almost every way.
@@specialopsdave No one expects creativity out of a toaster. It's not the same 🙏🗣️💯
@@villanousspyder405 But how can you be creative with a vehicle that is as utilitarian as it gets?
@@specialopsdave There's many examples of different looking ATV's Google them.
@@villanousspyder405 But are they competitors to the SHERP? Certainly not.
Sherp is the original. when Russia design, always military standard. Not commercially.
The rep (at the trade show) doesn't know a damn thing about what he's selling
Sherp rip-off. Come on Canada. You can do better. Knowing the Canadians they will brag that it was their idea first and it’s better than anyone else’s! Lol. 😄
Wooow!!..... this design must have took a lot of thought. It looks very original. I’ve never seen anything like it........NOT!!!!!!........ I hate a thief!!!
Hey they added a roll cage, a better ladder and seats....yeah no they half assed it and just made a more complicated Sherp which I think is stupid.
Don't buy the knock offs buy the sherp the original!
cheapp ripp offf of a sherp loll
Is this a copy of the Sherp? How is this legal? Have the Russians messed up their patents? Good god Shame
Sherp copy Period!!!!
......its like they copied someone's homework and made a few changes to make it not too obvious
Cool sherp! But first i thought it was chinese as it is a complete ripoff of the original.
Ah so it's a knockoff sherp
So they ripped off the sherp completely hahaha
No different than what the Chinese do with everything lol
Like Russia doesn't copy the west. Russia is the 2nd biggest technology thief behind China. Anyway, if it's a copy, Canada is a country with "Rule of Law", unlike Russia, and the Russians can bring suit if it's a copy, which it isn't.
*A cheap copy of the Sherp, and a lot worse. Canadians and Americans can really do nothing. really poor*
Sure is a nice looking sherp!
So it is worst copy of Sherp... Russians did it way better and it's just copy...
хороший плагиат...
I despise copycats. They never make humanity progress.
Do the worlds toughest towing test with it 😂
Talk about China copying!! Of course total rip-off!
"Dont call it a sherp"
Uhhhhhhh...... it is though
If you don't want it to be called a Sherp, don't rip off the design of a Sherp. 🙄
Love this Sherp Clone!!!
It’s just a sherp with a different name simple as it does exactly what the sherp has already done
I can just imagine diving into the water head first and Ooops! there's a log to punch a hole through the windshield and really ruin your day.
Lol obviously the Canadian one would go on about safety. Lame.
Next TFL project truck???
I won’t call it a sherp but I will call it a shameless sherp rip off!!
