I have never owned an ATV and only ridden one a few times. My wife and I are newly retired and now have time for more outdoor activities. I am an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoor enthusiast but sidelined for 10 years. Last fall, retired and with two new hips and no back problems and accompanied by my wife, I spent most of six weeks hunting. I can see that I need an ATV fit for two. I looked at side-by-sides but there are places you can't go with a 60" wide UTV. I read about "2-ups" and I haven't looked back...and Can-Am seems to be the favorite brand. But which one to buy? I definitely want to able to climb hills, but don't see myself as a speed demon LOL. I need to carry my wife, cargo for back woods, and be able to pull out a deer or elk. I will be in rough, rocky, hilly, often muddy terrain. I've looked at Outlander Max DPS 570, Max XT 570, Max XT 650 & 850, and Max XT-P. Cost isn't much of an issue but I don't want to underbuy or overbuy what we need. I am thrifty but will buy what I need to insure quality/resale. Accessories: I am looking at quality? shocks whatever that means; lots of cargo storage; windshield? and hand guards for cold, rainy weather; definitely a skid plate but think aftermarket is probably a better bet; fender flares?, radiator protector; a sizeable winch; and some type of protection for trailering and winter storage. I can use all the help I can get BEFORE going to a dealer this ?spring? Thank you in advance.
