TextYour Guide to Buy a UTV
UTVs are sturdy, versatile, and reliable vehicles, and they are often seen working hard at worksites and transporting passengers on off-road riding adventures. These machines are also known as side-by-sides, and you can pick a four- or six-wheeled option depending on the terrain you plan to frequent and the tasks you want your model to handle.
If you are thinking about getting one of these models but are unsure where to begin, we can help. Our experts at Redline Powersports Myrtle Beach have created this guide to help you pick the perfect UTV for your adventures. Read on to learn more, and then visit our dealership in Myrtle Beach, SC, to explore a few models yourself. We are happy to welcome our friends from Georgetown and Kingstree, so stop by today.
Determine the Purpose
Although your UTV can handle whatever task you throw at it, knowing how you intend to use it can help you select an ideal model for your work. The first thing to determine is whether you will want to use your side-by-side for work, play, or both. Once you have the clarity, you can explore models with the exact specifications to suit your needs.
Ideally, compact UTVs with a higher top speed and more comfortable seating arrangements are better options for recreational riding. Conversely, larger models with a bigger storage area are more suited for hauling materials and supplies at worksites. However, hunting enthusiasts prefer getting a utility vehicle with extra space and a camouflage exterior for more successful outdoor excursions.
Plan a Budget
Next, you will want to think about how much you are willing to pay for a UTV. Crunch the numbers to see how much you can spend without affecting your other needs and eliminate any choices outside your affordable category. When planning your budget, remember to factor in any aftermarket accessories you want to install on your machine to make it safer and more efficient. This will help you set aside the highest amount of money for buying a UTV.
The Size of Your Crew
More importantly, you will want to consider the number of passengers that will regularly ride with you in your UTV. Although most models are for two passengers, you can easily find 4- and 6-seater options. Think about the space you need in your vehicle and ensure you pick the correct model only. You can also think about the different seating styles—bench or bucket seats—to ensure your crew is comfortable while using your side-by-side.
