A UTV is an off-road four-wheeled vehicle used by one or more persons to complete their work or tasks. They are often referred to as utility vehicles, side x side's, or carts. In the last five years, their popularity has soared because of their ease of use and low cost. If you are using or considering the purchase of a pickup truck or tractor for your off-road tasks, you may want to ask yourself if you'll utilize its full capabilities, or whether you're paying for extras you don't need.
Consider your use of a pickup truck or tractor:
- Will you transport more than one or two people?
- Will you need to use it primarily on public roads?
- Will you take advantage of its very high horsepower, high speed, high payload, or high towing capacities?
These capabilities are critical if you really need them, but add substantial cost, weight, maintenance, insurance, and fuel consumption if you don't.
Pick-up trucks and tractors are great when you need them. But many jobs are completed by one or two people with a few tools and materials. These jobs don't require fast, heavy, high capacity, not to mention expensive, equipment such as trucks and tractors. Utility vehicles are compact, safe, require little training, and are easy to use - all at a fraction of the cost to buy, maintain, and insure a larger vehicle.
Utility vehicles can easily carry two people, their tools, supplies or materials, and a modest trailer to their destination easily. They are lightweight, easy to ingress and egress, and consume little fuel (or electricity). And you can add to their capabilities with countless accessories and upgrades like lighting, protection from the sun, racks & storage, power assist, tires & wheels, winches, mirrors, ground clearance, and many more.
