What is a utv?

A Utility Task Vehicle (UTV), also known as a side-by-side (SxS), is a motor vehicle designed for off-road use. It is typically used for work and recreation in rugged terrain.

Key features of a UTV include:

• Purpose: UTVs are primarily designed for utility and recreation. They're useful in many scenarios such as farming, hunting, construction and trail riding.

• Seating and Capacity: They generally have seating for two to six people, sitting side-by-side, hence the name "side-by-side." Some models, like the crew%20cabs, have extended seating.

• Engine and Power: UTVs come with a variety of engine sizes and power outputs, ranging from small gas%20engines to electric motors. Some high-performance models have powerful engines that allow them to navigate any terrain.

• Drive System: Most UTVs have four-wheel drive (4x4%20system) capabilities, providing enhanced traction on uneven surfaces.

• Suspension: UTVs typically feature robust suspension%20systems designed to absorb bumps and impacts in off-road conditions.

• Tires and Ground Clearance: They have large, durable tires and high ground clearance for navigating obstacles.

• Safety Features: Common safety features include roll%20cages or roll-over protection structures (ROPS), seatbelts, and sometimes windshields and doors.

• Accessories: UTVs are highly customizable with a wide range of accessories, such as winches, plows, cargo beds, lighting, and sound systems.

• Regulations: Regulations regarding UTV use vary by location. Some areas allow them on public roads, while others restrict them to off-road trails and private land. Check local laws for utv%20regulations to know where they are permitted.
