UTV Buying Guide
UTVs are a great way to quickly and easily transport people and goods over difficult terrain. While some people use them for utility purposes, others prefer trail riding. However you plan to use your UTV, it is important that you find a model that works for your needs. That is why Road Track & Trail has created this guide to buying a UTV.
How Much Do You Want to Spend on a UTV?
Your first step should be to create a budget. Having a price limit will make your job easier by allowing you to automatically eliminate any option that falls outside your spending range. Don’t forget to include extra costs such as maintenance and insurance fees when creating your budget. While these extra costs might seem minor next to the sticker price, they can add up quickly. If you are not careful, you might end up spending far more than you intended to spend.
How Many Passengers Do I Want to Transport?
Generally, the more passengers that a UTV can fit, the more it will cost. On the other hand, needing to take multiple trips to transport your group can be a real headache. Try to strike a balance between budget and your passenger space needs.
Where Will I Take the UTV?
While UTVs are built to handle various different kinds of terrain, you should still look for a model that will support the kind of riding that you plan to do. For example, rocky terrain can scrape against the bottom of your UTV, damaging it. If you plan to ride in areas with a lot of rocky ground, it may be best to look for a model with higher ground clearance.
How Will I Use the UTV?
Most UTV owners use their vehicles for either trail riding or utility work. If you are interested in the former, you should check out models that are both fast and maneuverable. If you instead want to use your UTV for utility work, you should focus on finding a model that will excel at the jobs you need to do, like hauling tools from place to place or towing things around.
