How Will You Use Your UTV?

A good place to start when buying a UTV is by thinking about how you plan on using your rig. This will help you narrow down your search to only include side-by-sides with the necessary features for your preferred style of riding. 

For example, some people opt to use their UTV for work tasks. If this sounds like you, you’ll benefit from a model with impressive power and hauling capacities. You can easily transport tools across your work site, haul away debris, and get places much faster than you would on foot. Focus on finding models that have high carrying capacity.

On the other hand, some people buy side-by-sides to enjoy the thrills of the powersports lifestyle. There are plenty of models on the market built just for this. If you plan on tearing through trails, look for models that can hit high speeds and quickly accelerate. You should also focus on finding a UTV with comfort features. After all, if you’re going to be hitting the trails for hours on end, you’ll need to be comfortable doing it.

Your Budget

Another important consideration to make when buying a UTV is your budget. It’s a good idea to go into the buying process with a solid budget in mind. It’s too easy to find a side-by-side that seems perfect but is out of your price range. A first-time buyer should expect to pay about $10,000 for a brand new model. If you’re looking for something with more power, additional seating, or more features, you should plan on spending anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000. For those with a tighter budget, consider buying a used UTV. 

These are just a few of the big factors to take into consideration when buying a side-by-side. If you want any more guidance, our team will be happy to help you.
