What Is A UTV?

Before we talk about the reasons you should own a UTV, it’s probably worthwhile to make sure everyone’s on the same page in terms of understanding what a UTV is in the first place. A UTV, utility task vehicle, is generally wider than four-wheelers (ATVs), and are also known as a “side by side” or SXS for short. 

UTVs are less physically demanding to ride than ATVs, as there is no need to straddle the seat. UTVs allow for multiple passengers, are more comfortable, and often offer storage capacity. What’s more, SXS vehicles usually have roll cages included for added safety and protection. 

Why Own A SXS Vehicle? 

Now, we are getting ahead of ourselves, since many of those aspects are huge reasons to own a UTV in their own right! 

It’s Plain Old Fun

There’s not much else like riding a UTV in the great outdoors. Whether you are forging your own path while camping or have property to roam around as you please, it’s action-packed fun that is sure to get your heart pumping. And no matter what your age is, everyone deserves some excitement now and then. Whip through the mud, roam up the mountains, or do donuts in your own backyard — as soon as you get on a side by side, you’ll know what they are so popular!

Great For Family & Friends

While ATVs typically can carry a maximum of two riders, UTVs are usually between two to four riders, depending on the size of the SXS vehicle you want to get. This is often an ideal option for families — the kids don’t have to wait very long for their turn with more seats available! Plus, it makes for great entertainment when friends of all ages come over to your property. 

Cheaper Than A Jeep

While the average new Jeep might cost between $30,000 and $50,000, UTVs typically cost in the range of $10,000 to $30,000, depending on the model and features you select. Not only is the SXS vehicle more affordable than a new Jeep, but it’s also important to remember that getting a high-end UTV means you are getting a turn-key, ready-to-roam SXS vehicle. 

It offers better handling, superior suspension, and does away with a lot of the unnecessary electronics that Jeeps have, such as ESC, Trac Control, and ABS. In fact, many of the said features can actually lead to dangerous situations if they are accidentally engaged while offroading. Side by sides don’t come with these added features, so there’s nothing to worry about when crawling up and down some rocky terrain!

Safety, Comfort, & Functionality

Unlike ATVs, UTVs can practically guarantee the safety of its passengers due to the fact that they offer safety belts, durable parts, and roll cages. On top of that, UTVs offer a superior center of balance, which naturally stabilizes and adjusts to the terrain smoothly, making it very difficult for the vehicle to roll under typical circumstances. 

UTVs are much more comfortable than ATVs as well. You are seated — not straddling — making it an enjoyable experience even when the road gets bumpy. 

Finally, UTVs offer excellent functionality for practically any owner. In just about any environment or weather condition, your UTV will be up to the challenge. Most have a cover to protect against rain or heavy sunlight, and the windshield prevents dust and dirt from being a bother to boot.
