Finding the Right UTV
If you’ve been searching for a versatile, rugged machine that can handle anything you throw at it, you should consider buying a utility terrain vehicle (UTV), which is also known as a side-by-side. Whether you’re hard at work on your farm, ranch or construction site, or spending hours off-roading on the weekend, you can always count on UTVs to help you make the most of every riding experience. We created this UTV buying guide to help you learn more about these vehicles before you start exploring different models.
Consider Your Purpose
Whether you want a UTV for work or play, you’ll find a wide variety of models to suit your needs. The two primary types of UTVs are those built for recreational purposes and those designed for utility work. Knowing how you’ll be using your side-by-side can help you narrow your options.
The sport models are designed to conquer the most challenging terrain you can throw their way and are perfect for riding on trails. These vehicles are built for speed and performance more than anything else. If you’re looking for something to make your life a little easier when working around your property, you should check out the utility models that come with impressive towing and hauling capacities. You’ll be able to load up your equipment, tools, and supplies before you head out for a day of work. You no longer have to waste time walking across large properties when you have a UTV that can quickly get you to your destination. Some models are so powerful that they can even tow a trailer.
Hauling Capacity
Next, you’ll want to think about what you plan to carry in your UTV, how much it will weigh, and how often you’ll be carrying these items. These vehicles often come with cargo compartments in the rear as well as some between the seats for storing gear and supplies. It’s good to know how much space you’ll need and the ideal hauling capacity so that you can find the right model.
Upgrades
Your UTV will come with many standard features, but you can also look into aftermarket accessories if the factory model doesn’t come with all that you need. One common upgrade is a hard or soft-top roof to protect you from the elements. It also enables you to ride in tough weather conditions and keeps you in the shade on hot days so you can ride as long as you want.
