OP also states that he wants to use the machine for trail riding/camping. Automatically eliminates a golf cart or electric ATV. Last I checked the longest range on any electric ATV/UTV these days is 40 miles and that just won't cut it.

Went on a short ride yesterday...99.1 miles by the time we got back to the truck/trailer. I would LOVE an electric side by side with ~ 200 mile range because one of my main complaints about any engine-powered one is the noise. Would love to have one that was silent except for the sound of the tires on the dirt!

We went to the site of a B17 Flying Fortress crash that happened in 1941. After 84 years there were pieces of airplane still scattered all over the mountainside. Any of you who are "old warplane buffs" can tell me what this part of the airplane might have been?

Correct DE71. I'm not much for electric carts of UTVs. Though they have improved in capability these last few years. They are just not me. Nor is a gas golf cart. Not happening (LOL). B.

I looked at a Can Am Defender HD10 XT and Limited yesterday. Looks to be a well built unit. Sales rep said it is the heaviest built unit on the market. I think he forgot about the Polaris 1500. B.

The Polaris 1500 is an all-new unit...new, and unproven 3 cylinder engine and a new, unproven transmission they named "Steeldrive". Only time will tell if they will hold up in the long run. Me, I wouldn't want to be a Beta tester on something where the starting price is ~ $30,000. If, in 5 years or so, the reports from owners are good then I might consider one.

Ditto that. And they are expensive. Out of my price range. B.
