About Side by Sides & UTVs in Powersport Vehicles - Walmart.com

Side-by-sides utvs give you steady control for workdays and weekends on rough terrain. At Walmart, you can compare sport-ready power with jobsite utility in one place. Use them for hauling feed, towing small trailers, or exploring wide trails with friends.

Choose the cab style and seating you need, then match suspension and tires to your land. You can also plan for storage, weather coverage, and trail rules before you ride.

Why side-by-sides UTVs fit work and play

A capable side by side helps you move gear without swapping to a full-size truck. Many models include a dump bed, tie-down points, and hitch-ready frames for chores. That means less walking back and forth, even on large properties.

On recreation days, side-by-sides utvs give you a stable stance for ruts and washboards. Wider track widths and tuned shocks help you stay planted through corners. You get more comfort on long loops, especially with supportive seats and grab handles.

Cab features also help you ride longer across changing weather. Windshields, roofs, and doors reduce wind fatigue and flying debris. Heated options on select trims can make cold mornings feel easier.

  • Carry tools, fencing supplies, or coolers with a bed made for bulky loads.
  • Handle uneven ground with suspension travel and tire tread that match your trails.
  • Share the ride with two to six seats for crews, family, or friends.
  • Stay organized with in-cab storage, cupholders, and sealed bins for small items.

Side by side specs that matter before you buy

Start with engine size and how you plan to use it. Smaller engines suit light hauling and casual trails. Larger engines support steeper climbs and heavier cargo, especially at higher elevations.

Drive modes shape how confidently you move across mixed surfaces. Two-wheel drive can feel smooth on hardpack and gravel roads. Four-wheel drive and locking diffs help when mud, snow, or loose sand show up.

Suspension and ground clearance decide how often you scrape or bottom out. Longer travel helps with whoops, ruts, and rocky ledges. Taller clearance helps you roll over roots, but it can raise step-in height.

Bed capacity and towing numbers should match your real load. Check payload for feed bags, firewood, or sprayers. Review hitch type and receiver height for trailers and implements.

Cab layout affects comfort and control during long rides. Look for adjustable seating, clear sightlines, and easy-to-reach switches. If you wear gloves, choose larger knobs and simple dash controls.

UTVs for chores, trails, and weekend projects

For property work, UTVs help you run tools to the back fence fast. Use the bed for posts, chain saws, and repair kits. Add a rack or bed extender when you carry longer lumber.

During hunting and camping trips, side-by-sides utvs help you carry tents and coolers over rough access roads. Many riders add roof panels and cargo boxes for cleaner packing. A quiet muffler and smooth clutch feel can matter in tight woods.

For trail riding, pick tires and skid plates that match your local terrain. Sand calls for paddle-style options and steady throttle control. Rocks call for tougher sidewalls and underbody protection.

In winter, plan for plowing and cold-weather comfort. A front mount can hold a plow blade for driveways and lanes. Cab enclosures and wipers help when sleet and slush hit.

If you manage a small farm, focus on attachments and daily handling. Sprayer tanks, spreaders, and tow-behind carts can fit many setups. A tight turning radius helps you work between barns and gates.

Choose side-by-sides UTVs with confidence

Dial in seating, cargo needs, and trail conditions first, then match power and suspension to your land. Side-by-sides utvs make work runs quicker and weekends more comfortable. With the right setup, you can carry more and worry less.

FAQ

How do I choose the right side-by-side UTV for my needs?

Choosing the right side-by-side UTV depends on how you plan to use it. Consider these factors:

  • Seating capacity: Decide if you need a 2-seater or a 4-seater based on who will ride with you.
  • Engine power: Higher horsepower is better for tough terrain or towing, while lower power suits casual use.
  • Drive type: 2WD is fine for light trails, but 4WD offers better traction in rough conditions.
  • Fuel type: Gas models offer longer range, while electric UTVs are quieter and require less maintenance.
  • Features: Look for extras like winches, touchscreen controls, or adjustable seats that fit your preferences.

Walmart offers a variety of options to fit different budgets and uses, so think about your main activities before deciding.

What maintenance does a side-by-side UTV usually need?

Regular maintenance helps keep your side-by-side UTV running smoothly. Key tasks include:

  • Engine checks: Change oil and filters as recommended to protect the engine.
  • Tire care: Inspect tires for wear and maintain proper pressure for safety and performance.
  • Brake inspection: Check brake pads and fluid levels to ensure reliable stopping power.
  • Battery upkeep: For electric models, keep the battery charged and terminals clean.
  • Cleaning: Remove mud and debris after rides to prevent corrosion and wear.

Following the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and using quality parts can extend your UTV's lifespan.

Can I use a side-by-side UTV for towing and hauling?

Yes, many side-by-side UTVs are designed with towing and hauling capabilities. When considering this use:

  • Towing capacity: Check the UTV's rated towing limit to ensure it meets your needs, which can range from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds.
  • Winch availability: Some models come with built-in winches or have options to add one, useful for pulling loads or getting unstuck.
  • Bed size: Look at the cargo bed dimensions and weight capacity for hauling gear or supplies.
  • Engine power and drive: More horsepower and 4WD improve towing performance on rough terrain.

Always follow safety guidelines and manufacturer recommendations when towing or hauling with your UTV.

What safety features should I look for in a side-by-side UTV?

Safety is crucial when choosing a side-by-side UTV. Important features to consider include:

  • Roll cage: A sturdy roll cage helps protect occupants in case of a rollover.
  • Seat belts: Ensure the UTV has reliable seat belts for all passengers.
  • Braking system: Disc brakes provide better stopping power and control.
  • Speed controls: Some models offer speed limiters or safety locks, especially useful for younger or less experienced drivers.
  • Lighting: Headlights and brake lights improve visibility during low light or night rides.

Wearing helmets and following safe driving practices are also essential to reduce risks while using a UTV.

How do electric side-by-side UTVs compare to gas-powered ones?

Electric and gas-powered side-by-side UTVs each have benefits depending on your preferences:

  • Electric UTVs: Quieter operation, lower maintenance, and zero emissions make them great for quieter environments and easy upkeep. They usually have shorter range and require charging time.
  • Gas UTVs: Typically offer longer range and more power, suitable for heavy-duty work or longer rides. They need regular fuel and engine maintenance.
  • Performance: Gas models often have higher horsepower, but electric models provide instant torque for smooth acceleration.
  • Cost: Electric UTVs may have higher upfront costs but can save money on fuel and maintenance over time.

Consider your typical usage, terrain, and maintenance preferences when deciding between electric and gas UTVs.
