How Will You Use Your UTV?

Your search will be largely informed by the intended purpose of your powersports vehicle. Think about whether you are needing your UTV more for recreational riding or accomplishing tasks. This will influence the types of models you consider and the features that you prioritize.

For example, maybe you'll use your UTV to help you maintain your property. You'll want to ensure the model offers enough space for transporting tools and materials. You may even need it to offer high hauling and towing capacity.

Or maybe you'll use your side by side for recreational riding. Prioritize models that offer the speed, agility, and durability needed to conquer difficult terrain.

What is Your Budget?

It's the age old trap of the shopping process. You start scrolling through options and quickly find your dream vehicle. You fall in love before you look at the price...which is more than you should be spending. But your heart is already set on that model, so you overextend your budget to get it.

Avoid this trap by building a budget before looking at any UTV options. Think realistically about how much you can spend and only look at models within that range. Remember to include the cost of any gear or vehicle upgrades into your price. If your budget is on the smaller end, consider used UTVs. This approach allows you to use depreciation in your favor. You can get high quality models at a fraction of the price!

How Many Passengers Will You Have?

UTVs can fit between two and six people. If you'll usually be riding along or with one other person, you can save money by getting a smaller model. If you'll want to bring along a group for the ride, make sure your model can fit everyone. Some people who use their UTV for work find they want plenty of room to bring other workers along. After all, many hands make light work.

What's Your Intended Terrain Like?

Think about where you'll be taking your UTV. Will you be traveling on challenging terrain, such as sand? Make sure your model is equipped with the right features and tires. Will you be working on your property, which is full of obstacles? Make sure you find something with enough ground clearance and high agility capabilities. Think about the features you'll need to be successful on your rides.

What Are Your Cargo Needs?

Consider whether you'll need space on your UTV for transporting items. Maybe you'll be transporting materials throughout your property. Maybe you'll be loading it up with hunting gear. Make sure the model you pick offers enough storage space so that you can bring everything you need on your rides.
