Choose Your Next UTV For Adventure

Does the thrill of roaming the open trail in a new utility vehicle excite you? Or maybe you just want to get work around the acreage done, but are afraid of which UTV is the one for you and your land? The pros at John Deere can help you determine which UTV is right by helping you identify what is important prior to making your purchase.

Job type

How will this UTV be used at your property—to transport people; on a golf course; on a farm or ranch; on a trail or to go fishing; or on a job site? With UTVs, the possibilities are endless!

Each UTV is specifically crafted for the job at hand. If you are looking to use your UTV to transport multiple people, look for a multi-passenger model such as the John Deere XUV855M S4 or XUV560E S4.

Fuel power

Do you want a more traditional UTV that runs on gasoline, a hybrid model, or the latest innovation in clean energy, electric? You now have choices.

What about your drive?

It’s important to know the “drive” you are looking for in your UTV model—the terrain you are most likely to encounter. If the UTV will be used on smooth surfaces, 2WD should do the trick. If you need more traction to help you through the terrain, opt for 4WD.

Cargo capacity

What are you planning to haul? Mid-Size UTVs typically max out at 500 lbs. of cargo. However they are the perfect option for farmers and trail riders to pack their gear for work or play.

Additional elements

Who said you can’t have a little fun while having an adventure?

• Color of your UTV may be important to you.
• What you are looking for in the operator’s station: Power steering, infotainment system, cupholders, comfortable leather seating, climate-controlled cab, etc.
• Consider attachments that may only be available on certain models— work lights, seat covers and windshields with wipers.

Better still, make a list of the above and bring it to your local UTV dealer for guidance. That’s what they’re there for.
