Is Polaris a good brand for UTV? ›

"A Great all-around UTV. I have been using my 2021 Ranger 1000 EPS for deer hunting, wood lot management and trail riding and I'm very impressed with its durability and overall operation."

Depending on your budget and needs, you can expect to spend anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 for a new machine. For the majority of new side-by-sides, the average cost is around $15,000. Why do UTV costs vary so much?

If you're a farmer, outdoor enthusiast, or carpenter who needs to do a lot of towing and hauling, you can save considerable money by choosing to buy a side by side over a pickup truck. They cost about a third of what a pickup does, and you can get around 1000 lbs of towing capacity and 400 lbs in hauling capacity.

A utility task vehicle (UTV) is a larger type of ATV designed to haul heavier loads and perhaps allow additional passengers. ATVs are primarily used for recreation, whereas UTVs are often used for professional tasks such as farming or landscaping.

The choice between Polaris Ranger and Kawasaki Mule ultimately comes down to your specific needs and preferences. Here are some factors to consider: Performance: If you require high-performance capabilities and advanced technology, the Polaris Ranger might be the better choice.

When you're out for a ride on any off-road vehicle, you want to know that it will not break down on you and leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. Kawasaki, a company known for high-quality ATVs and UTVs, makes some of the most reliable side-by-side vehicles.

Side-by-sides, like many vehicles, can experience depreciation over time. However, many side-by-sides hold their value well, especially if they are well-maintained and have low mileage. Additionally, some side-by-sides, such as those from well-known brands, may hold their value better than others.

While there are varying opinions and factors on this matter, most off-roaders consider anything above 5,000 miles to be high mileage. An ATV with 1,000 miles or under is considered to have low mileage. This number suggests the quad has been used for a year or so and did not require much maintenance.

Fortunately, the likelihood of UTV rollovers is low – but they can still happen. There are various reasons that could cause your ATV/UTV to flip over, like accelerating too quickly for example. When riding uphill, don't do it too quickly because it may cause your ATV or UTV to roll over backwards.

How many hours is too many on a side-by-side? ›

What are High Hours for an ATV? Thinking strictly of ATV mileage range and hours, 500 or fewer hours is ideal. 5,000 and up is considered high miles for ATVs and UTVs. But don't just go for the vehicle with the fewest miles.

While it's certainly possible to reach and surpass 20,000 miles with a CFMoto UTV, you'll get parts going bad much sooner than that. Typically, any UTV with over 10,000 miles is considered a high-mileage machine.

They often have larger cargo capacities, more towing power, and are more rugged to handle tough jobs like farming, landscaping, or snow removal.

Can You Ride a UTV, SxS or ATV in Snow? The answer of course is yes. The most common uses for an ATV or UTV in cold weather would be for work—plowing a driveway or hauling wood for your fire.

With a better payload, larger cargo box, and dynamic power steering, there's a whole ton of High Lifter fans that say the Can-Am wins this one. At the same time, the Polaris Ranger has been a staple vehicle for thousands—for years.

On very rare occasions – and under ideal circ*mstances – you might see a Polaris Ranger with 25,000, 35,000, or even 45,000 miles on it still going strong. On the other hand, you might also see a totaled Ranger with less than 1,000 miles on the odometer.
