New RTV for 2014?

[timswi]

ok, I built identical 1100's. the options for both were the front back light and spray bed liner.
rtv1100 -msrp $20,885..
rtvx1100 msrp $21385.

exactly $500 difference. with the suspension and front end updates alone I would pay double that. not to mention its 100lb lighter and almost 3" axle width increase. could care less about tranny update. when these thing hit the market and get out there it will kill our resale prices. to finally have an rtv that can drive off road is awesome.

Dunno...When I priced mine it came in around 28k...Ergo the replacement insurance cost on my '09 I guess. Paid 17k four years ago for what I have.

The cost of these is more than I have ever paid for all but one of my cars and can't find anyway to justify the expense... especially new.

I have the poormans RTV

My 1988 Suzuki Samuari it my RTV... I haul boulders, firewood, supplies, concrete, tow trailers, etc and I paid $1,000 for it 13 years ago.

Plus it has a nice heater/defroster and I can drive it to the filling station or into town.

How do you make the numbers work?

I test drove the rtvx900 and the rtv900xt and ended up buying the 900xt. The 3 range transmission on the xt won me over and the 0% for 60 months didnt hurt.
Will be delivered on monday, cant wait.

I don't care for the 2 range either. But the bed being shorter and the transmission sticking out past the rear tires were the deal breakers.

If my 900 wears out, which I don't think will be any time soon, the hunt will be on to find another one used.

Good suggestion the Samuari.

"As fate would have it"

I bought my RTV after 24 years in the service; 90% of which occurred in a parachute harness and/or "off road".

Having the mud-bogging, hill-climbing, over-turning, & self-recovery years well behind me (I have a come-along patch) and nothing but hunting, ranching, and mini-forestry ahead of me, my RTV should last a little longer.............etc.

"Hats off" to the people who can afford to take a $20K (+) OHV off-road into the mud-bogs.

When I brought it home... my brother sure gave me a ribbing... he said thought very little of them.

Fast forward and he thinks they are one tuff little unit...

If the right RTV happened along I would not be opposed.

My neighbor uses his gator all the time.. it's gas and two wheel drive and he loves that thing and it hauls stuff all over his couple of acres... I think part of his fun was making gator trails.

My nieces love to go for a ride in it and keep asking if I will get one.
