Your Guide to Buying a UTV

Utility terrain vehicles, or UTVs, are rugged and reliable machines for work and play. You can use your model to explore your favorite trails or haul equipment and supplies from spot to spot on your work site.

But buying a UTV, also known as a side-by-side, is not as simple as you might think. You must make various considerations to pick the perfect model for your endeavors. Don’t worry if you are unsure about where to begin—your local powersports vehicles experts are here to help.

Think About Your Needs

Before exploring UTVs from your favorite brand, spend time determining your needs. This means figuring out whether you intend to use your UTV for work, recreation, or both.

Durable UTVs with a higher hauling capacity and a sturdier frame are ideal for those keen on buying a workhorse for their job site. However, those searching for a reliable model for their recreational endeavors should consider getting an agile and high-performing model instead.

Consider the Features

Next, you want to pay attention to the features when buying a UTV.

Recreational enthusiasts want a UTV with the latest Bluetooth® audio system or brighter LED lights. Conversely, worksite managers might prefer models with a four-wheel drive or those with a superior suspension system. If you need help selecting the right features for your work, we can help.
