Buying the Right UTV

UTVs are incredibly versatile and can be a great vehicle to own. Whether you want to hit the trails or have work to get done around your property, side-by-sides are great for it all! Our team at Dutchess Recreational Vehicles is here to help you find the perfect model. 

Determine Your Needs

The biggest part of the buying process is making sure you get exactly what you need. There are several different features to select from, including horsepower, passenger seating, tire size, and weight capacity. If you intend to take your UTV along rough terrain, for example, you may need to select a model with upgraded tires and a better suspension system. Other needs might include a tilt bed, improved lighting, and windshield features. 

Determine Your Budget

Along with deciding what features are necessary, you’ll also have to consider your budget. Certain features will contribute to the overall asking price, making it important to only shop for the specifications you need! Give yourself a realistic price range and avoid looking at models above your highest price point.

Remember to include the cost of gear, insurance, storage, and interest when you calculate your budget.

Determine Your Purpose

Since UTVs are able to operate as a work vehicle or for recreation, it’s helpful to know your intended purposes for the side-by-side. This aspect can ultimately determine which model is right for you!
