    I would like to know if anyone owns or knows anyone that has one of these and what your opinion is. I currently have an EZGO ST 4x4 but it only has the front seat and rear cargo bed. It is a great hunting vehicle for 1 or 2 hunters but my 2 daughters and youngest son is showing an interest in hunting and it is not big enough for everyone and gear. I may be looking to sell the EZGO and buy this. Any reviews good or bad would be greatly appreciated.

    What are you going to use it for and what are your highest priorities?

    Do you want a machine that is the most fun? Do you want the best work horse? Do you want something in between?

    Note: I just went through a very long, intensive search through the UTV line and feel pretty up on what each machine brings to the table.

    Gators are nice but that green paint is awful 'spensive

    My highest priority would be dependability like my EZGO but I also want something that will transport 1 to 6 people with hunting gear, ie, bows, guns backpacks. Primary use will be for hunting, scouting hauling seed and fertillizer for food plots and etc but it would also be used around my 5 acres at home, the honey do stuff like hauling bushes to plant, dirt, things like that.

    I thought that also but I can get the S4 in camo loaded with about everything for 11,800 and my EZGO cost right at 9,500 with nothing but the rolp, cargo dump bed and front brush guard. Don't get me wrong, my ST 4X4 is a great machine but it just does not have the ability to carry multiple persons.
