How about UTV/side by side owners?
The Kawasaki Mule has my attention, along with those electric versions..., anyone feel one side by side is hands down the utv winner? I've been in a polaris which was nice, sounds like guys love the Kawa Mules though...?
After buying an atv, it leaves me wanting a UTV/side by side, which are almost like a small truck nowadays, and new you're looking at $13k?
I'm sure you could buy a Jeep or Truck and lift it etc...and probably have a better vehicle, go anywhere just about, sure an atv could probably cut through woods better, but on trails/roads, also you'd have heat/AC and storage etc..
Also a quieter vehicle compared to an atv... although an electric vehicle would be super quiet.
I'm thinking maybe a Jeep Cherokiee, or Grand Cherokee, or maybe small truck like a ford ranger, etc...
btw this is mostly for private land, could be full time off road, ie lift it, big tires...and you're probably way ahead for a 13k new UTV....
Polaris Ranger - HD. I have had excellent experience and service from my 2 year old model. I do not raw-hide it or do "off road" as such, but it gets a ton of use in rough stuff, up and down hills, through heavy deep clay muck bottoms ... hauling 500# of people most of the time and being used to do all sorts of off season work. Only issue I have had has been the factory tires .... on the two rear tires, the knobs separated from the rest of the practically at the same time.
to me a suzuki samuri is the only way to go..it was a utv before utv's....its a 4 wheeler with a roll cage and can haul you, yer buddy and 20-30 bags of anything, the feeder and the legs. super low 4X4 gears. can be totally street legal, and will out climb a jeep...done it.
