For those on the fence of either a ATV or SXS...

For the ones who were deeply torn between owning an ATV or SXS, how did you finally make the decision? This might not apply to the avg SXS owner or ATV owner. But ones that really couldn't decide.

I think the main drivers are.

1. If you are transporting others vs solo
2. Truck bed transport vs trailer
3. Trail width restrictions. Personally I think the 50 in sxs are death traps

I have a full size sXs and an ATV… wish I had a 50” sXs

How do you people afford these?
I just bought a revolver (my first ) at regional farm business that sells atvs, tractors, firearms etc.
I parked in front of a Polaris I believe, size of my ford ranger.
$42,000!
That is what my 2021 ranger stickered for. Interest on atvs has to be high.
Here in WV people are allowed to run them on the roads. Don’t see any off-road.
And of course they are usually parked in front of a shit box trailer home .

This is basically dead on. We bought a 4 door General based on the following.

1. We have three kids.
2. I don’t mind towing.
3. Very few width restrictions by us.
4. We take it where we don’t want to drive our truck.

We will add an ATV or two later on. Mainly for ice fishing and I want something with tracks for bear baiting.

*I’ll add we looked at just getting an 2-up ATV for now to save money and wait for the kids to get older but getting them out more is our priority.
