That's a fine point. You can buy one separately for ~1-5k.

I kinda wish there could be a solar panel mount so nobody would accidentally run over it with a truck.



Also, what UTV even comes with a dump bed?


Can-Am defender, AC Prowler, Honda Pioneer, any number of John Deere UTVs, etc. Pretty much every line of farm-focused UTV has a dump bed option...

I'm guessing when you hear UTV you're thinking of the 60MPH off-road blitzing side by sides that are so popular at the dunes these days, but that's only part of the market for these.


Once you limit to EV the choices are pretty limited though. Toro and Deere have decent options and all the others at most have a retrofitted electric motor to a transmission designed for gas/diesel. Hopefully the ramp up of LFP battery production revamps this market quite a bit.


Sure, but we were talking about this being an excellent choice given what it offers at its operational price tag of $7000, having conveniences no UTV has in that bracket.

All of the ones you listed are fine UTVs, but they also cost literally twice as much =)
