carpcody Report post Posted July 12, 2017 So I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a newer used side x side. iv been doing a lot of research on different makes and models over the last few months but just wanted to get some real life info from some of you guys. My top 3 choices right now and not really in this order are the ranger, Viking and teryx. It has to be at least a 4 seater and it will be used pretty much for family rides with my little girls and for hunting. So anywase just looking for some insite that some of you may have good or bad on any of these 3 or others as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tac Report post Posted July 12, 2017 I have a 08 teryx they are build great but no power, no suspension travel, but ride well for only 7 inch of travel. I have done a bunch of mods to mine long travel, big bore kit, fuel inejction, and aa bunch of other stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best of both worlds I really like the general too but they're just a little too much money. I'd like to stay under 14 if I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaibabHunter Report post Posted July 13, 2017 My ranger is a lil older, 07, but I have zero complaints. Minor repairs from off road use, do all the maintence myself, and it is a tank. For my use, hunting, I rarely hit 30 mph but it crawls over anything u put in front of it and can carry a load. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomharveyb Report post Posted July 13, 2017 Really like my Ranger as well. Got it for $5500 with 97 hours on it. Not fast- a little over 40mph but indestructable and will haul a whole elk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CWpredator Report post Posted July 13, 2017 Honda Pioneer 1000 4. Has an actual transmission not belt driven. Honda reliability and plenty of power and can still do about 45-47 mph. 1500lb capacity and a new one comes in around 14-15k 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
el diablo Report post Posted July 13, 2017 Polaris all the way here. I've had 3 sportsmans and on my second ranger. Have never had a problem other than reg maintenance crap. Those things are tanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ8 Report post Posted July 13, 2017 I've been shopping myself. Is the lack of EBS on the Rangers really an issue? I go down some steep azz stuff and my truck is in 4 low - 1st gear and feathering the brakes and its still a bit unnerving..haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
