Thread: 4wd vs ATV vs SXS

I started with a Suzuki King quad back in 2004 then moved up to a UTV (factory roll cage) from 2015. Now have moved into a SXS 570 from 2024 but has a small footprint compared to full blown SXS's - $15200.00 brand new in a clearance sale. Mate brought one too. Trailer is 8'x5' NZ made. Best thing is that it's not your daily drive so your tow vehicle not affected by off road mishaps. Being in Canterbury I found UTV's better at crossing rivers as they sit on the bottom for better stability than the smaller quads which often tend to float a bit due to big tyres & lighter in weight overall. Also SXS's or my other single seat ATV can carry more gear than a standard quad bike and have a steering wheel which is easy to handle on ruts than handle bars which can rip the steering out of your hands. But people use quads/UTV for different reasons - mine are for hunting not farm work. Currently selling my single seat ATV with heaps of extra's. About 3500 kms. Pic of my current SXS - love it.
