Cross an ATV with a
pickup truck and you get UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle). They started out as purely work based vehicles,
but quickly found a place in many people's stables as a sport and utility
vehicle.
If you are interested in
owning a UTV, UTV Guide is here to help
you choose a side-by-side vehicle that meets your needs. And if you already own
a UTV, and are looking for great aftermarket products, UTV Guide is here to sort
through all of the marketing hype and get you the information that you need to
make buying decisions.
Although they are most
commonly known as UTVs (Utility Terrain Vehicle or just Utility Vehicle) or
Side-by-Side Vehicles, they are also known as SxS, RUV (Recreational Utility
Vehicle) or MUV (Multi-Use Vehicle). They are called Side-by-Side Vehicles
because a driver and a passenger sit side-by-side in the vehicle.
So your think you are ready to buy a new side by side vehicle,
but don't know which one to get. Is there a "perfect" UTV? That is a tough question
because every rider has different needs and rides on different terrain.
The first step is to get yourself educated, and this is the
right place to do it.
This website was created to
help guide you through the differences between side x side vehicles. We review basic information on each
vehicle - general features and specifications. Then we dive in for a more
detailed review of each UTV. And we have done lots of homework for you on
aftermarket products for your UTV - long travel kits, roll cages, performance
products and accessories. Our focus is more slanted towards
sport use rather that utility, so take that bias into account if you want a
vehicle that will be used on a farm for example. We do
feature UTVs that are used as work vehicles, but most of our vehicle comparisons are
geared toward sport use.
