I've spent 10 years with both. It is really apples to oranges. With that said, for the price, I'd take 2x atv with eps over a sxs everyday of the week.

They are not comparable.... It's like comparing car to a motorcycle... Completely different experience....

Bias in favor of UTV. The difference in voice tone alone reveals much of the bias. Still, the stated pros and cons are mostly valid. Additional ATV points not considered: They depreciate at a faster rate (locally anyway) which is good for the buyer. You have the ability to ride standing up which is good for stretching your legs, changing perspective, faster dismounts, using your legs to absorb rough terrain and changing the weight distribution (which is good for side hills and steep climbs). No flimsy roll over protection means an unobstructed view, unobstructed photography and unobstructed shots at vermin. I once saw an atv rider get a shot off at a varmint before I was able to get a foot on the ground. No cage also gives the ability to step off the high side of the ATV in a roll over situation. When stuck or on its side, ATVs are easier to recover than UTVs. My kid's UTV had square cut gears. My buddy had a different make UTV with an enclosed cab. In both, at most speeds it was so loud it hurt. ATVs don't transmit noise like that to the rider. (Can you tell - I'm trying to talk myself into an ATV.) Good video presentation. I'm going to check out more of the channel. 👍

Also, bigger heavier sxs's wear out parts much faster than atv.

They both have different purposes. Ideally, in a perfect world, you should have both. You need a more of a work horse, sxs.. need to run tigher trails smaller spaces... atv..
