No simple answer; too many variables.  The trailer you need depends heavily on the terrain you are going over, what you're going to haul (UTV and/or other cargo), trailer size, single or double axle.  I have a single axle trailer that I haul my 1800 lb SxS.  I'm about 800 lbs below gross.  I doubt a Harbor Freight trailer would fit the bill unless you're only going to haul camping gear or other light weight cargo.

@Dan B I really appreciate your reply.  Do you have a general opinion on the Joyner Sand Viper 1100cc, if youre familiar with it?

I understand it may not be the highest quality rig on the market, but I am a very novice off-roader and looking for something to start with that I can have some fun with.  I will be running it in the outskirts of vegas and plan to encounter a bit of rough terrain, but nothing crazy in regards to size of rocks or crazy inclines.  Any opinion on how it may handle in different types of conditions?

My opinion and only my opinion:  The Joyner Trooper, Joyner Renegade and the Joyner Sand Viper all come with 1100cc fuel injected engines.  The Renegade originally had an 800cc engine until 2014.   I have the Renegade with the 1100cc engine.  All three are similar in many ways except for outward appearances and suspension (dual A-arm vs trailing beam).  The engines are manufactured by Chery (a Chinese company).  Those engines are popular in South America, Africa and of course Asia.  If the UTV has a 3-cyl 800cc or 4-cyl 1100cc gasoline engine, then it is most likely the Chery engine.  John Deere uses the 800cc engine with a CVT transmission in their Gator line.  All three have a 5-speed transmission and clutch, not a CVT/belt drive system.  I'm not a fan of CVT transmissions.  With the manual transmission, you have to take a more active role in managing power to the drive axle(s).  The Sand Viper is only a two-wheel drive (the Trooper and Renegade has selectable 2/4WD with open or locking differentials.  I bought my used Renegade from a local Craigslist seller because I like the looks of it over the other two and it was for sale in my price range.  I'm happy with it so far.  As with any UTV, you have to know the limitations of the UTV and don't exceed them or your limitations either.  The early versions of the Joyner line had issues with quality control but they've come a long way over the years.  Support may not be as prevalent as the more expensive name brand UTVs and ATVs so be prepard to do some maintenance on your own.  The Sand Viper is a light machine coming in at about 1300 lbs.  My Renegade is just under 1800lbs.  All three are about 60 in wide so don't consider putting it in the back of a pickup.  You will need a trailer (5-1/2ft x10 ft bed size as a minimum).  I would recommend you view some YouTube videos on the various UTVs you are considering and get other opinions.  Good luck on your search and I hope you find the ride of your life - it will be fun.

@Dan B You're the man, Dan!  I really appreciate your insights on all of this, it is going to help big time in my UTV search.  

If you dont mind me asking, I am going to be looking at a used 2016 Sand Viper 1100cc...are there any 'common issues' with UTVs that I should keep an eye out for that may be a red flag on the condition of the UTV?

Any other comments you can think of in regards to maintaining the 1100cc models?

I can['t speak to any particular machine.  I found on my machine that the  engine oil drain plug is blocked by the skid plate.  I'll have to cut an access hole to change the oil.  That's something that no one would think to look at when evaluating any ATV, UTV or even a car.  I would recommend that you go online (YouTube) or search for "problems with Sand Viper 1100" for others who have experience with these rides.  I have, however, read that the differentials on the Joyner machines can be problematic.  I haven't experienced any problems with my ride, yet.

      2016 Massimo MSU500 Setting Top Dead Center
      By res2fr
      I have an issue and I'm hoping that someone can help with a little Wisdom. I have a 2016 Massimo MSU500 UTV that blew a time chain while out riding. It has been torn down to replave the chain and Sprocket amount other things that will be renewed. The problem comes in with setting Top Dead Center on the motor. The Manuals all teel one to line up hash marks on the flywheel with a point on the side cover under what's referred to in several place as a manhole cover. Its a large headed cap/bolt that unscrews and allows you to view the edge of the flywheel. There are hash marks on the flywheel that your supposed to turn the crank until you get the proper alignment between a certain hash mark and a reference point on the Case. Problem is there is NO reference point on the case there. I also have another 2016 MSU500 and a 2014 Coleman 500. Not one of these machines have a reference mark of any kind in that location. (I have pictures if needed) 
        I know I can use the old pull the valve covers and rotate the crank and rely on getting the right point where Both Intake and Exhaust valves are closed at hopefully the correct point in the piston stroke. Is there any other reference point that could be used for this or is this the only thing left to use for finding TDC? Gotta Love documentation that doesn't match the equipment it's supposed to be for, any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if just to tell me that's about my only option. 
       
      Thanks to all who even take the time to read my rambling question.

      Need help with EFI wiring on a 2020 axis/hisun 500 UTV from Lowe’s
      By Tim Barbero
      I left my 2020 axis 500 UTV parked under the carport for about 6 months and when I went to start it recently a squirrel has built a nest under the throttle body and chewed through the efi harness.  I stripped all the wires back and reconnected them with waterproof butt connectors.  The problem I have is there is one blue wire with a red stripe coming from the main harness this wire has 5 volts dc showing on my multimeter but there are two blue wires with a red stripe coming from 2 different sensors on the throttle body.  I looked through all of the bits and pieces of wiring left behind and there’s no indication that the three wires of the same color were all tied together.  Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
