Honest question for experienced riders - how much of a real problem is losing cell signal on the trail?
Context: I'm coming from the overlanding world where staying connected is a big deal (long multi-day trips, remote locations, solo travel). I invested in a cellular booster for my truck (around $400) and it's been worth every penny for both safety and convenience.
Now getting into UTVs and trying to figure out if this is even a relevant concern, or if I'm bringing truck-camping mindset to a completely different activity.
Specifically:
In your experience, is cell coverage while riding a "nice to have" or a "need to have"? Do you actively try to maintain connectivity, or is "going off-grid" part of the appeal? For those who've spent money on connectivity solutions, what did you end up with and was it worth it? I'm seeing some cellular boosters marketed for vehicles in that price range, but almost zero discussion in UTV forums. Either it's not a real problem for most riders, or there's something about UTVs that makes traditional boosters impractical.
For those who ride in legitimately remote areas - what's your actual setup? Just curious if I'm overthinking this or if there's a real gap here.

I saw that Intimidator is offering a $7k rebate on all their UTVs. This looks like an amazing deal. Are their UTVs any good? I looked through the forums and there appears to have been some problems in the 21-23 timeframe? Does anyone know why in the world they would be offering such a steep discount?

I have a 2018 cub cadet challenger 750 I bought brand new almost 2 years ago the first month I had it the exhaust broke and burnt the spark plug wire in two that was a recall so the dealership installed the new one it had a different design and it bolted up to the bottom two plugs below the spark plug the dealership said they had to Adjust the exhaust valves I get the machine back thanking everything is good now wrong not even a week after I get it back the timing chain tensioner comes apart inside the motor I take it back to the dealership They put one on I get the machine back thanking everything is good but then just like before not even a week goes by when I was riding the Machine automatically quits going come to find out the wet clutch was burned up the primary clutch head stripped off of the splines I get that fixed and then it overheats I take it back they bleed the air out of the coolant they bring it back to me the same day that I get it back it overheats again I take it back they temporarily fix it again just enough to let the warranty run out and now the machine has been to multiple different mechanics I have had them try to bleed the air out they have stood it up on its end I have had the water pump changed I have had the fan hooked to a switch so I could leave it on all the time but still almost 2 years later not even 200 hours on the machine and I cannot ride it The dealership will not take it back as a lemon I have tried I am at my wits end I have no clue what to try next
