Me and my dad have made our decision on our first quads which are the Kingquad 700 and the LTR450 for me BUT we are now thinking of getting my mom and sister a sidexside like a Rhino or Ranger.  The question is are these allowed at many places, yet are they too big for the trails?  We just thought this would be better and cheaper in the long run, such as not having to do maintenance on two quads, just one sidexside.  It would also be a plus for me and my dad to use to go fishing in woods or hunting which we would like to try.  Sidexsides take up as much room as two quads together though probably?  Are sidexside's even worth the 10k or so you pay for the basemodels?  Huh

yeah, I like the Rhino out of any of them.  I just want to know if anyone has used them at Croom or ONF.  Those are the places we plan on riding alot and want to make sure there are a decent amount of trails that can handle them or if they are allowed.

I just purchased a 2007 rhino, it's sweet, as far as I know they do not allow them in croom, but ONF they do. From my experience so far the rhino would not do very well in the rock quarry section in croom anyway, to narrow, plus the rhino is very tippy, I have a set of after market wheels and tires that will hopefully fix this on off camber situations but have not put them on yet. You would be very happy with the purchase, I don't miss my quads one single bit!

If we got them one, they would be only be able to come to ONF with us Cheesy  Maybe we will stick to quads  Nerd

They are not as bad as you think they are. They are bigger then a single quad on the trail but not massive. The rino will hit 65mph from what I know.  If you get one with the 4wd and put some aftermarket tires and rims that are wider then stock then you should befine. Just go down to the dealership and test one out. They are all incredibly easy to drive. They are all automatic and all the controls are right there. Just have her drive one and see what she thinks.

Thats a really good idea.  We are basically on hault with buying quads because so many people have told us to not buy new because of tax, dealer fees, assembly fees, and what not.  It makes more sense to go on eBay and find a model with about a half hour ride time and buy it.  Shipping it is still less than buying it local so who knows Undecided I just want a quad now damnit!

Your best bet is to go to another state where there is no sales tax. I wouldnt trust ebay with 9000 dollars of my money. I would either go to another state or check your local trading post or atvtrader and see if you can find a decent used one.

I would trust an eBay seller if he was a powerseller or whatever you call them.  I have seen local dealers on there selling quads for real cheap with free shipping so I think thats the route were going to go.  Since its new years were gonna look on eBay and see if we can find some good deals and bid Grin FINALLY!

the problem with buying in another state is you don't have to pay sales tax there but once you are back in florida and go to register it so you can go to these parks you will get hit with the tax then, so you might as well save the trip and buy it here. Sounds like a great idea until you HAVE to register it! to get in any state park in FL.
Here is a couple of pic of mine

give ars powersports a call (800 356 8973). in okeechobe, probaley have the best out the door prices in fla. You cant get around sales tax, when you register you have to pay it. But their fees are very minimal, when we got my rancher, I believe the fees were only $200 maybe 300 (if I remember correctly).

I don't kmow what your time is worth but if you are buying 2 quads you will probley save close to 2 grand by going to ARS divide that by the time you think it will take you to go down there. The best part is knowing that you are dealing with a dealer that is not trying to take advantage of you.
