Yeah. They are not an Arctic Cat Prowler! But other then that they might be ok.

you really can't get around very well with them and if you get it stuck you might need to call a wrecker LOL... I'd get a jeep before I'd get a side by side.

side by sides can do anything a 4x4 atv can do, beleive me ive seen it, actually i would by one of them over a 4x4 atv, their is nothing wrong with any of them, but the rhino has the most comfort then the arctic cat, id get the rhino 700, cant go wrong with them, and theyll be faster than the already pretty quick rhino 660(notice quick not fast, the 660's were slower than the polaris 700 on top end but would be everythign off the line besides rzr) rzrs, are pretty cool, theyre pretty fast for what they are, not much room in them though, and not as much of mud/rock machines. They re also kinda tippy

I have owned many 2x4 and 4x4 quads.. Some pretty awesome setups too,, you know with aggressive tires and pipes and stuff.. Currently I have a branc new Rino and can also attest that it WILL go anywhere the quads will - the real nice thing about it is your belted in and so is your passenger.. I also LOVE the instant 4x4 and diff lock on the Rhino.. Big bucks but well worth it

I can go almost anywhere i can on my grizzly, but you need to carry a saw for those tight spots.Yamaha is giving doors & grab handles to already owners of 04 to 07 models.

I just sold my Rhino.. they are not as big as they look.. You can go anywhere a normal quad can go.. They are alot easier on the spine too...They are alot of fun..The aftermarket is huge for them too.

The rhino has bucket seats which the ranger does not & it has cargo space where the RZR does not.The prowler offers these features but i was more comfy in the rhino where it is smaller.But which ever one you choose you will like.

it will work great great for wide trails.. My next atv is going to be a thundercat. smokes all 4 tires on tar!!! Fastest acclerating atv ever made ylsuper.gif dealer has one available but I'm going to wait a couple years so they can work the bugs out of them.

Can you park it in the back of a truck? I didn't think so. Still I wouldn't mind having one, they are pretty fun.

I haul my Rhino in the back of my shortbox Superduty. Snug between the fenderwells, but it goes in. Pretty heavy on the tailgate though. I run some plywood under the rear wheels up into the box. I could see it denting the gate otherwise.

I have not checked the milage but took it on a rally & ran it pretty hard with two people & i figured i could have went about 160 kms.It is a 660,have not driven a 450 but it is said to be slower which sucks on dirt roads ,in the woods i hear ther is not much dirrerence.

If things work out , hopefully by summer of next year I can pick up a Polaris RZR.
Make it street legal and have a ton of fun.
I have seen several rangers and a rzr that are licensed so it's got to possible.

I've never seen anyone so blinded by brand loyalty in my life.

Take a look at the new Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4 or the new Polaris

are the 450s underpowered?

Rhinos fit into the bed of a truck pretty easily and even the full size ranger will fit in a truck if you build a ramp to get it over the wheel wells. My family owns a 4x4 ranger and it goes anywhere.

the polaris rzr is the shit,nothing on the market compares,just wait and see.
