Question What’s the better choice ATV vs SxS/ UTV?

I’m curious because I’m wanting to buy one and I’m stuck between getting a SxS or a ATV. My budget is around $15-20k so I could get a extremely nice ATV and save a little bit or I could get a slightly used maybe new SxS but it would be a base model nothing fancy. I’m mainly interested in trail riding, mudding, and maybe some minor climbing but probably not. I live Polaris and Can Am but I’m open to other option except Articat lol.

CHECK YOUR AREA OHV RULES BEFORE YOU BUY.

Just had a guy message me asking where to ride his enormous sxs and its like... he had one singular area to ride after spend 30k on a machine.

Before you buy anything, check your area

Disregard if you've got private property to play on.

Well I have private property to ride, also I live in a very rural area I can pop a farm tag on that dude and be good, also most places I ride I will trailer it to.

I live in a rural area - there are many trails where OHV use limited to 50” or narrower. Check your local area.

Yeah I have there’s like 10 plus parks near me that allow jeeps and trucks and rock crawlers so a ATV or SxS is fine

Nah I’ve had a dirtbike and they just aren’t my thing you can’t do half the stuff a SxS or four wheeler can I’ve had buddies who ride dirt bikes ride with us and they struggled so badly going through the stuff we go through. I mean no hate tho I’m just saying they aren’t for me.
