Buying the Right UTV

UTVs are great to have around the farm or for fun trail rides, but here are a lot of models to choose from! With such a wide array of options, it can be hard to decide what UTV is right for you. Our team at Beaverhead Motorsports is here to help you with the buying process. 

1. Decide on Your Budget

The first step in the buying process is to set a realistic budget for your purchase. The price of the UTV will be the most obvious part of your budget, but your total amount should also include any riding gear, licensing, insurance, and upgrades you’ll want to have right away. 

The asking price is largely determined by the features, size, and type of UTV you’re interested in. If you don’t need a lot of fancy features right away, you’ll benefit from lower asking prices. Beginner-friendly models and pre-owned options could be a good choice if you’re trying to stay at a lower price point. 

2. Decide the Purpose

There are a handful of reasons you might want to have your own UTV. The primary uses of your vehicle will have a major impact on which model is right for you! Some of the more common purposes of a UTV include on-farm use, hunting, trail riding, gardening, and landscaping. 

It’s definitely possible to use your UTV for multiple tasks, but when you have a main goal for the vehicle, you’ll be able to get exactly what you need. 

3. Decide How Many Passengers You Want to Bring

When you have a UTV, you’ll probably also have friends and family who want to join in on the adventure! As you’re shopping for the right model, it’s essential that you think about how many passengers you’ll need to have space for. Some options can carry up to five additional passengers while others only give you enough room to bring one person with you. 

This feature can have a drastic impact on the price, so you want to be very thoughtful about this decision. Too many seats will leave you with a larger vehicle that costs more but too few seats will result in a lot of extra trips. 

It’s best to think about the main purpose of the UTV and determine how often you’ll need to bring along a group of people. 

4. Think About Location

UTVs are built to handle many types of terrain, but it can be helpful to really think about the location you’re in to choose the best model. Some areas will require a heavier set of tires and a strong windshield!
