How about some more details on the RZR...
You've had it long enough now that you should be able to better point out its strengths and weakness...
How about a litst of Pros and Cons
I've been reading everything I can find on them and even talked to a local dealer that has one comming in middle of this month
A depost down and its mine - question is should I buy it ....
I would also be using it around the farm as a utility quad...
Love the built in trailer hitch attachment but the frame back there looks a little weak to me - your thoughts...
PS
I agree thou - Its NOT a pilot replacement...
The optional accessories are sweet....
Thanks
Dennis
Dennis,
I'll do my best.....
Pro's
It's got plenty of power for a side x side...I think if it had the acceleration of a Pilot,there would be ALOT of people getting hurt....
It's a very comfortable ride both in the seating and suspension....
Very easy steering and very easy to drive....
It's only 50" wide....
I haven't found anywhere it will fit that it won't go....Climbs very well...
Can carry someone along with you......
Very smooth with very minimal vibration.....
Cons.....
The throttle is touchy and takes some getting used too to keep it from bucking in rough terrain.....
The air intake pulls in dust between the bed and the belt inspection panel, but an easy fix....
It feels kinda tippy to me sometimes, but has never tried to turn over...I think it's mainly because I am used to the Pilot which is more stable and lower C.G......
The reciever hitch is kinda whimpy, but could easily be beefed up.....
Seems that some of the folks having problems are having trouble getting parts right now....I think the part suppliers are barely able to keep up with the production demand, so repair parts are at a minimum right now, but should get better soon.....
The steering is slow...The reason it is so easy to turn is because of such a low ratio in the rack.....It's almost 2 1/2 turns lock to lock, and that really took some getting used too running through the woods with a little speed, but I'm getting better at it........
Would I do it over again? Yep....Without a doubt.....I have wanted a side x side with 4x4 for some time now, but they were all too big and too slow, but the RZR cured both those problems....I think you will enjoy it on the farm and riding with other utility quads....There won't be many of them that will be able to keep up with it......
Some of my favorite times so far are evening rides with one of my daughters creeping through the trails here on our farm.....We have never owned a vehicle that allowed us to do this, and the RZR was a welcomed addition to the toy stable....
