For me there was no comparison between the
UTV's and the mini truck - I went with the mini.
The pickup style bed in amazing for what you can haul in that thing. I haul a bunch of tools shovels and PVC parts when I head out for repairs. Being
4WD closed cab with windshield, heat it does it all and then some, and all for 1/2 the price of the
UTV's. I got one used with 20K miles for under 6K.
It was the bed that was the deciding factor for me, I need to carry a lot of stuff when I'm out doing repairs.
