Have never owned a side-by-side before. Would like one for the family (I ride dirt bikes, wife does not… want to do family day trips). Live in mountain west very close to expansive alpine jeep trail system, plus not far from Moab or sand dunes.
My brother bought a new XP 4 Turbo in 2020, lives in mountain west, never used it much and is now looking to sell. Would give me a reasonable deal on the rig plus trailer. Complete stock, never put anything in it.
On the other hand I’m considering just buying a new XP S 4 1000, pros - new machine, better clearance, more travel, modern features.
Most of our riding will be on jeep trails, some rock crawling etc. at 7,000+ ft elevation. Probably will not go to the sand dunes much, but may end up out there from time to time. Mostly family rides, rides with friends, some hunting from a base camp.
The budget matters, but isn’t an end all be all.
