What SXS if you were buying one tomorrow?

[Weldor]

Did the Polaris thing 2014 crew it was ok.
Next was 2016 Honda 1000-5 again ok, but small.
Last 2020 Can am pro xt HD 10. still is and has been a great and reliable machine. My hounds and plenty of Elk hauling with this rig.

I’ve been a Polaris guy, looking to add a sxs to the two Polaris sportsman’s I have now. It will come to value for the dollar as my Polaris dealer so also a can am dealer. So if they are equal in price I’ll buy the bigger motor, but I’m going for a Polaris unless something happens w the price or I can’t pass up a can am.

How the hell do people afford these things?
I was at a tractor dealer that also sold Polaris. There was a 4-door side x side for $42,000.00!
That was more than the john deere with loader and mower I was looking at.

I could get a beater jeep and rebuild it and have an actual vehicle.
These sxs are legal to drive on the road in my town. These folk most have 6-year loans on them

Yeap, Just seen one at $65000. Not for me, I bought my Can am for $20000 out the door in 2020. I paid $28000 for my 2013 wrangler unlimited and it has AC and heat.

It almost makes you wanna get a. Old wrangler or Suzuki and just use that haha

I purchased a Polaris RZR 800 in 2013, 13 years ago for past elk hunts in several states. It's been a beast. Never had a single issue with it, it has been 100% reliable. If I was in the market for one I'd get another in a heart beat! -- Still have the 2013!

I know it's not a one for one comparison, but you can buy a 3/4 ton truck for that. Wow !!

Ya wild thing is go look at the razor r and you can get up close to 100k and people are buying them all the time.

Based upon discussions I have weekly with my local mechanic who maintains everything with a motor on several large large ranches. Can Am would be the recommendation.

That is solely derived from stories of what he sees and fixes and what he doesn't have to fix.

Mine below I purchased in 23.
