UTV Buying Guide
UTVs are used both for recreational trail riding and utility work like landscaping and property management. If you’re interested in finding a UTV model that’s perfect for your purposes, this guide from the experts at Grossenburg Powersports will help you get started.
How Much Do I Want to Spend on a UTV?
As with any major purchase, your first step should be to create a budget. This step serves a couple of purposes. One, it creates a price limit that will allow you to automatically rule out any model that costs more than you want to pay. Two, it will help you to keep track of all the extra costs associated with purchasing a UTV, including insurance, maintenance, and any accessories you decide that you want.
How Many Passengers Do I Want to Transport?
Larger UTVs that offer more passenger room usually cost more. However, the last thing you want is to be forced into taking multiple trips so that you can transport your entire group. That’s why you should figure out how many people you plan to bring along on a typical trip and go from there.
Where Will I Take the UTV?
UTVs are built to handle all kinds of terrain, but certain configurations might be better suited to certain conditions. For instance, those looking to do some riding in places with a lot of rocky ground should look for a UTV with high ground clearance to ensure that the bottom doesn’t get scratched up. Do some research about the kinds of terrain you’re going to see a lot of, and figure out what kind of UTV would be most suitable for that kind of environment.
How Will I Use the UTV?
A key thing to consider when shopping for UTVs is how you plan to use the vehicle. If you’re a farmer, for instance, something compact enough to squeeze through tight space but powerful enough to get the job done is your best bet. If you’re more about recreational riding, speed and maneuverability are what you need. If you want a UTV that can help make your landscaping work easier, you’ll need a model that has a lot of storage space.
