Foolish Question, whats the difference


Recommended Posts

Here's a foolish question. I have never had an ATV, UTV, sand rail before, but I have had a few 4x4's. I am tired of beating up the full size 4x4 and thought it might be a better idea to sell it and have fun with a smaller size, and more capable... Something.

Long story short,

What is the difference in capability and riding of a 4 seater sand rail like this one:

And a UTV crew like this one:

Looking for a replacement for a full size 4WD vehicle, seats at least 3, in the sub $10,000 range. What would you recommend?

I'd say the biggest difference between the two machines you are looking at there is the size. The larger buggie is going to be faster and probably have a better ride. The UTV seems like it will be more under powered, it has a lower top speed, but it will be able to get into much tighter areas and will be more maneuverable. Personally, I like to stick with machines made by a manufacturers that I know to make reliable products. A newer Yamaha, Polaris, Can-Am etc... 4 seat UTV will be a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. A good used one could be found for under $10k. I like the Polaris Razr myself, the Yamaha Rhino is a very popular machine too.

I agree with DD, I would be worried about replacement parts for those machines. Those are probably chinese knockoffs, so I don't recommend buying them. I would stick with a manufacturer like Polaris, Honda, Yamaha, etc.

You will probably need to go to a port for pick up, since it probably comes directly from China.

x2 to the above posts, the main differance with sand rails and utvs is that you can only use sand rails in...sand...lol, utvs are great on trail systems, mud, dirt, sand, whatever. but...if you go to the dunes a lot, sand rails are awesome! beware chinese knockoffs, youll blow a tranny and never find replacement parts for them.

      Hello I’m new here and was wondering is anyone knew of good replacement part numbers for front struts and rear shocks for this atv? I think I’ve found a new rear shock, that looks like the original but there is no dimensions or anything and was wondering if there are any afterMarket new front struts available. I know it’s a long shot but any help would be appreciated.

      Hey all!
      I'm on a mission to buy my first UTV soundbar as a gift for my dad(a newbie on ATV). I'm aiming for something that offers great sound quality without breaking the bank – my budget is around $250. Right now, I'm considering options like ecoxgear, kemimoto, and boss.
      Does anyone have experience with these brands or specific models that you'd recommend? Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated!

      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
      Importing routes from files like xml, lmx, tour, freshroute, gpx, kmz, kml
