PROS : This little rig has done some serious work so far. It weighs a ton and can tow a ton. Comes with a standard trailer receiver, has 2 and 4 wheel drive, Hi and Low, locking differential and a tilting dump bed. 2 rows of seats and the back row slides forward and folds to extend the length of the bed.
It'll literally go anywhere except underwater. The clearance it has is phenomenal. And the quality of the tires are awesome. The appearance is nice, and has a good sized gas tank.
Super fuel efficient. Lots of pulling power. Headlights are as bright as a standard Car, and has Low beams as well. The traction and durability it has is beyond any standard ATV. tire I've seen.

Cons : The accelerator pedal is so small it's difficult to maintain a constant speed in low gear downhill. Meaning it's about 4 inches long.
- When going down steep hills, and trying to adjust the low speed by barely touching the pedal, it'll pop itself out of gear and roll. To me this is a huge safety issue, and the wheel well is so large and right next to the brake pedal that half of the time your foot is half on the pedal and half on the wheel well. So you have to adjust and pay attention.
- It requires a football field to turn around. By far the worst steering radius ive seen on anything that has 4 wheels.
- The parking brake is inconspicuous in a hurry. We've driven away many times with it on as there is no audible reminder. Trust me there will be a time or two when you ll forget to release it. It'll stop you from going over 5 mph though.
-The roof system is almost idiotic in design. You can't lift the tail bed with it on.
- Shifting gears is extremely frustrating. Every time I go back or forwards, I have to basically slam it into gear. The shift interlocking lever needs to be seriously revised. It wastes huge amounts of time, sitting there trying to get it to go from Low to High speed, or reverse anytime you want to go somewhere. Worst system I've ever seen anywhere. If you have arthritis, it'll remind you of it pretty quickly.
-I'm still questioning the almost $20,000 price tag with no other attachments.

Synopsis : Overall it's worth it. But they need to fix things to match that price. It does exactly what it says it does. I would most likely recommend it to anyone wondering. Structurally it's definitely strong. The UTV name makes sense here.
