Thinking of touring 2up sled... best brands ??

[hadster]

Thinking of getting a used luxury touring sled for mostly trail & cutlines etc., need the extra room for a passenger sometimes & or a place to bring gear in & out. Don't have alot to spend, which brands would give most bang for the buck. Would like electric start, reverse, oil injection, hand warmers & a place for a box or tub behind the seat. Realiablity is very high on the list of needs, decent power & fuel milaege would be nice.
So far leaning toward ski-doo or yamaha, should i think of others?? I know many say arctic cat is not so good in ATV's, .....how are there sleds??
Thanks for any input.

The mighty Tundra or Skandic comes to mind. I haven't used those types of sleds since I left the NWT 25 years ago. Some of the "surveyor-type" or "fishermen" will chime in and add some fuel to the fire...:d

The 600 etec XU expedition is a very nice sled for your application.
Very good on fuel and oil with a great ride.
Had a 2011 SE so know first hand .
20x154x1.25 track .
High low, range
Will go as high as 160 Kms per hr so has good legs for cruising .

A 2009 SDI would be great also and a bit cheaper for price.
