recommendation for RELIABLE 4 seater UTV


JohnS

Recommended Posts

I have been asked to purchase a new 4 passenger UTV for my mother. This is used intermittently, mainly when visitors come, so reliability is a high priority.

Need to have 4 seats, a basic version, no bells/whistles necessary, no diesel, RELIABLE, prefer to have bed for carrying capacity. 

What is most reliable new 4 seater UTV available?

I still have a 95 Honda fourtrax 300 with God only knows how many hours and miles on it. Never had any real issues with ot. Never been inside the engine or transmission. Still runs and drives like the day it bought. I had a 2014 honda pioneer 700-4 that we absolutely loved. I had 1700 miles and about 300 hours on it when we sold it. It never once had an issue. Only sold it because we have 4 kids and needed a 6 seater. The guy that bought it from me asked why I was moving away from the Honda brand. I laughed and even though I had bought my new 6 seater 3 days prior, I told him if Honda came out with a 6 next week I would be trading for it. Also I'm not just a Honda fanboy lol. I know other brands make good products but as a 18 year mechanic I can vouch Honda reliability over all others. The pioneer may not win any races but it'll get you out there and back every single time. I've never been stranded in a Honda. You won't be replacing ball joints and wheel bearings every 2 months either. Probably never. Good luck in your purchase and enjoy!

      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL

      Hello friends,
      I got my ODES Ravager UTV yesterday and after a couple of hours of driving when I go downhill I heard a strange loud noise a couple of times, like a gear skipping or maybe something from the differential.
      It doesn't always happen and when it does it is heard for a few seconds and then it goes away and everything works normally, I'm worried if there could be some major malfunction or what could be the problem if someone can help me?
      Thanks a lot.

      Hy (pronounce he), just bought a Hisun Sector E1.
      I'll be using it to haul logs and stuff in the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

      Looked at a lot of UTVs lately. Couple Questions about Hisun. Some people say they are just cheap with no customer service. Other people seem to have no problems with them.
      Any opinions on Hisun reliability?
      Heard parts are hard to get. Is that true?
      If you had one and didn't like it what do you recommend?

      I have a Bennche 700 EFI Bighorn. I’ve recently been unable to get it to start. After a little troubleshooting I realized my fuel pump was not pumping fuel. This weekend I emptied the gas and replaced it with new. I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel injector. I also replaced the battery, spark plug and made sure all my fuses and relays were good. I have confirmed that the float on the fuel pump is not obstructed. The UTV is about 12 years old and has less than 100 hours on it. It has not run in over a year.  Not sure whats going on?!? After doing a little reading I'm leaning towards it being an issue with the ECU or perhaps a faulty wire in the wiring harness. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking or what I could be dealing with? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
