My neighbor bought one This spring and has been having some electrical issues with it. Only 200 miles on it This year and been in the shop more than on the farm. That being said, others around here have them and haven't had any issues with theirs. So would see how suportive your dealer is in case you get one with glitches. This is my new UTV. 4 wheel drive, 60 mph, 40 mpg, heat, AC, carrys 2 adults, weighs only 1500 lbs but has a hauling capacity of 1700 lbs. All 3 sides of the bed fold down for easy loading/unloading and the bed is about twice the size of most UTV's. The real kicker is I got it for about 1/4 of a UTV. Working on a few mods right now and really loving it so far.

I understand that you just got, but what is in the plans man?
Lift kit, big tires, winch, lights, paint job of a raccoon on the hood?
You better get busy!
Have fun!

His came with small lift, ATV tires and a winch. Pretty hard to get them stuck unless you are trying.

Those little Izusus will go anywhere, I looked for one but I never could find one cheaper than a used utv.

Pros. Lotsa room, can comfortably have a passenger, most smaller towns you can drive on the road with a permit.
Cons. Expensive.You can by an old beater 4wd truck for what one costs, If you have to haul it you need a trailer.

Most run anywhere from $3500 on up depending upon age and options. I'm not going crazy with mine but did paint it so it didn't look like a refrigerator. No lift kit but found larger tires to get a bit more clearance. UTV tires will fit but a few minutes or mods are required for clearence. A brush guard is in the works for mine and perhaps a canvas cover to keep the snow and rain off my gear. MN will only allow you to licence then as a UTV bit most LEO's don't care as long as you drive respectably. I've meet the sheriff serveral time in then last few weeks and they never give me a second look. I would check your local laws to see what's allowed in your area. It's raised some intrest with a few of the local farmers and it wouldn't surprise me to see a few more of these trucks on the roads in the near future. It's working great for me trapping pocket gophers and really looking forward to using it this fall on coyotes.

Parts are readily available from what I've seen. A little research before but it May make things easier as there are several brands to choose from, each having it's own pro's and con's. I've found that some parts on my mini truck are interchangeable with other vehicles.
