Sell my UTV for What?

   / Sell my UTV for What? #12  
For my hunting, I started with a 4 wheeler, then went to a Japanese mini truck, and now have a 1994 Toyota pickup.

The 4 wheeler was easy to maneuver and easy to haul around since it fit in the bed of a pickup truck.

Later on I got the mini truck and I was in heaven. Riding in a heated cab for 3 miles on a cold rainy morning to get to my deer stand was really nice. But, the mini truck was a little delicate and old and things seem to break easily on it. It did not have much power, and mine did not have a low range. For me, it was easiest to order parts from Japan and the parts are expensive. Mine was a Honda and there are very few Honda mini trucks here in the USA. I would suggest that you do not buy a Honda mini truck. But, since you have a good dealer near you, that may not be an issue. I have heard good things about your dealer.

Then, I came across this Toyota pickup. I paid $2750 for it and it has a really nice home made flatbed on it with fold down sides, and a crane to lift deer. I spent about $650 on tires and a few dollars on some minor repairs. I did not license it for road use, but I could with a few more repairs. It is 4wd and will go almost anywhere that a UTV will go, and it has a low range. The biggest problem with this rig is that I can't haul it on my 16' trailer. I have to use my 28' gooseneck, and that makes a big difference when I go on my annual hunt in Texas, which is about 1100 miles round trip. Otherwise, I leave it at my local deer camp here in Louisiana which is about 100 miles from my home.

There are times when I feel that a UTV would be better suited for my needs, but for now, I'll just stay with the Toyota. And, I have ordered a 20' bumper pull trailer that should be better for hauling this rig.

Ranger 900 works great. Where were these things 40 yrs ago when i really needed one.

My 03 Tracker fit between rocks for trails that are supposed to be for UTV use only. These have a ladder frame and a 2 range transfer case, solid rear axle. With some decent tires and disconnecting the front sway bar, they off road pretty well and they are narrow enough to never have to follow the 2 deep ruts the bigger trucks leave.
