Yeah, a crazy, turbo, two seater SxS that can take a 10 foot jump off a sand dune and spits mud in your eye, absolutely!!!

Yup, kind of like a jet ski of the woods.  How could you not have a blast driving that.

Don't get me wrong, Side X Side definitely have their purpose....In fact, I wouldn't mind a cheap one for my property. My little JD lawn tractor struggles to pull dead cars around, so last time I had to use the Escalade to pull those Mercedes parts cars into the tree line, which is far from ideal. A SxS would've been perfect....but I definitely don't need power windows and AC.

When we moved to the acreage I bought a cheapo Polaris Ranger with a little tilt bed. Used it a bit the first year, then less and less. Kids ended up completely roasting the transmission somehow and I sold it for $500 less than I paid. I think its something you think you will use and just don't. My Dad in law has a John Deer Gator thing with about 10 hours on it....he bought it about 25 years ago. It's kinda like a early side x side with a hydraulic dump box. He figured it would be the ultimate acreage device, used his tractor way more.

I just learned one of the reasons people buy the side-by-sides off roaders...it's because the trucks and jeeps are not allowed on the ATV trails, but they are.   Here they recently widened all the ATV trails so that they can pass and meet other machines, trails are  now 20-feet wide in places.

I guess that makes sense.  I mean I'm not overly sure how much smaller a 4 seater UTV would be compared to a Suzuki Samurai or a 80's/90's Jeep Wrangler.  I get that a modern Jeep would be hard to fit in a lot of places where UTV's are better suited.
