Re: best family unit

Well I would go with the Rhino,they seem to be really dependable,want to go faster..........Razor! I have a Prowler and really like it but there are more options and parts available for the Rhino's.
My son loves ours!

Re: best family unit

I agree, Bought the Rhino, but the wife and daughter have taken it over. They love it. Me back on the trailblazer for now.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that 800# rule is for some of the wilderness parks west of Calgary.

Re: best family unit

I bought a Ranger for just the reason of packing family. Mounted a 3rd row seat from a Expedition in the box and built a roll bar extension. Bought a $3.50 tarp from Peavey that gives everyone rain protection. Strap 2 car seats in the back for the kids and me and the missus can sit up front. Have had 4 kids and 2 adults in the rig. Haven't got all of the bugs worked out yet but it looks like it will work good.

I heard a rumor to that, but I heard it was 800cc and 1000 pounds. Trying to keep the 4x4 trucks out.
