Thread: 4wd vs ATV vs SXS

Nothing will beat 2.5 tonnes pushing down on 4 big wheels in deep water. But they won't float as quickly as quads do. Have to remember with most SxS's that they run on a rubber V belt transmission: get that wet and you are going nowhere. They are reasonably well waterproofed, but that's not forever. Had a mate's Yamaha Grizzly stop moving halfway across the Moawhango river, and she was very happy we had a fully waterproofed 4x4 (horse) to come to her aid
