UTVs, or Utility Terrain Vehicles, are designed for practical use, like work or transportation. They’re powerful and large enough to seat side-by-side passengers with storage space, as well. Their mid-sized all-terrain configuration makes them ideal for hauling supplies and equipment in areas that are impossible or impractical for a truck.
What is a UTV Side by Side?
A UTV is a small and rugged off-road vehicle, similar to an ATV but intended for more practical use. Depending on its design, a side by side UTV in Dawson Creek can typically seat one to six people next to each other and work off-road using four-wheel drive. Although the seating and purpose differ from an ATV, a UTV does have a comparable powertrain that shares much of the all-terrain capability.
UTV Features
As a utility application, a UTV‘s design is intended to transport passengers or cargo. It may include a cargo bed and boxes. A side by side UTV in Dawson Creek travels at a top speed of about 40 kph and can adapt to various environments by running on gas, electric, or diesel fuel. A UTV can also feature four-wheel independent suspension and hold up against abrupt terrain using long-travel springs and shocks.
Safety Features
A side by side typically comes with a rollover structure for protection and can feature a windshield and hardtop or a closed passenger area. Additional safety features can include seat belts and hand and leg barriers as added protection against rollovers.
