FAQs

What Is the Difference Between a UTV and an ATV?

ATVs are made for off-roading. A utility task vehicle (UTV) is an ATV that is larger and designed to transport more passengers or heavier loads. ATVs are often used for recreational purposes, while UTVs tend to be used for commercial tasks like farming and gardening.

ATVs are smaller in size. Four-wheel drive (4WD) makes it easy to navigate through tight spaces and difficult terrain. Compared to UTVs, ATVs can be cheaper to purchase.

UTVs are superior as work vehicles to ATVs due to their larger engines and durable bodies, offering greater carrying capacity. However, their high cost is their main disadvantage.

Is It Better to Buy an ATV or a UTV?

It is completely up to you to choose between a UTV and an ATV. Think about your needs, wants, and financial situation. Either way you decide to go, be careful and take appropriate precautions. Make sure you have received the appropriate training and certification before operating an ATV or UTV.
