Your Ultimate Guide to Buying a UTV
UTVs or utility terrain vehicles, also side-by-sides, are go-to vehicles for outdoor enthusiasts, farm operators, construction project managers, and even homeowners. These robust and reliable vehicles come outfitted with a sturdy frame, a superior suspension system, and advanced safety features that make hauling people and cargo safe and enjoyable. This makes buying a UTV both exciting and rewarding. But not just any model will do—you’ll want the right vehicle for your recreation or work projects.
Here are a few tips to help you purchase the perfect UTV. If you need more information, contact Miller Implement.
Determine Your Purpose
First, think about how you hope to use your UTV. For example, do you need it for farming and ranching, or do you plan to use it for outdoor activities, like hunting or exploring your favorite trails? The purpose will define what type of UTV suits your needs.
UTVs with high ground clearance, a long travel suspension, and big tires are ideal for off-road adventures, while a heavy-duty model with a sturdy and robust frame is the better option for work purposes.
Choose the Right Size
UTVs come in various sizes, ranging from 2-seaters to 6- 8-seater models. You can also choose between full-size and mid-size UTVs. Full-size UTVs can accommodate more passengers and carry extra cargo. However, they are bigger, heavier, and more challenging to maneuver. Conversely, mid-size side-by-sides are smaller and more maneuverable but have limited room for passengers and cargo.
Consider Safety Features
Finally, you’ll want to check whether your preferred UTV has all the features to stay safe outdoors. They include seatbelts, roll cages, safety nets, and doors. If your preferred UTV has these safety features, you’ve probably found the ideal vehicle. Otherwise, give the model a pass and continue searching for another one that’s more suited to your endeavors.
