Ranger or rhino?

Japanese mini truck, won't disappoint. This thing is small but haul and go anywhere, with half the cost.

If a man goes with a Honda put a snorkel on it first thing. Intake clogs easily without one.

New gator that I hunted with was useless after the first water crossing. Bout knee deep water.

Rangers are hit and miss. I have seen them run a long time with little trouble other than belt issues. Others I have seen ran the gamut. 1 didn't go 3 miles motor blew up. Others were constant electrical issues. Some the guys that owned them crossed their fingers every time they tried to crank them. If theirs would crank they had little trouble.

Rhinos have some belt issues but never heard of much trouble otherwise.

To be honest the amount of issues in the ranger could be because they are the most sold side x side. Hence more to have issues.

I currently have a honda big red. If I was to buy a new one tomorrow it would be the new pioneer from Honda. Snorkels of course just in case.

I agree with the red 100%, I know one thing for sure, I see WAY more rangers heading to and from deer leases than I see any others. Like a said my little rhino is a workhorse I like it just fine but I like the ranger more, I am considering the pioneer also.

Very true, the bongo tcks r tough rides, comes in 2 n 4 door, has heat n a/c n uses atv tires

I never see people talking about the Rhino's reliability. Only problems I see are the guys who put big tires on and run them thru the deepest mud hole they can find. There are a LOT of Rhino's out there. You outta check out the new Viking. It has a full bench seat unlike the Rhino's 2 bucket seats.

The ones I've driven and worked out of, I loved, but, even though I've heard they'll go anywhere, I just don't believe it yet. They have no more ground clearance than an atv but have a longer wheelbase and are heavier. Wouldn't they bottom out easily in muddy conditions?

I run a Kubota RTV 900XT.  I build fence off of it all day and hog hunt out of at night. Now it is mot a speed demon but it is a work horse with the Diesel engine.

My Kubota was around $11,000. Zero down and zero percent interest for five years through Kubota.

really!!!!! the 1 I seen at the local dealership was a 4 seater, with hydraulic dump, heat and a/c and it was tagged for $24,000, but on sale for $19,000 with zero for 60. I wasn't knocking ur ride, I just couldn't see paying the price tag I saw

[Judge peel]

I would use either one cuz I walk hunt so any ride would be nice

I bought a new rhino 660 in 2006.It used oil from the day I bought it till I traded it in in 2009 for a new 2009 700 rhino.I replaced the drive belt on the 700 6 times from new till 2013 . It seemed to eat belts,but I usually had it loaded with a dog box,5 or 6 dogs, 2 big  fat suckers in the seats, and many times 300 to 500 pounds of hogs on the front rack. I now have a 2013 midsise 800 ranger. So  far the midsise has done well (no problems so far).I hunt in the woods & need a narrow side by side to get between trees.I run over any trees or bushes that the ranger can push down,probably up to 3-4 inches in diameter & the midsise 800 ranger is one bad dude. so far Ive got 1200 miles on it & hasn't been back to the shop.Zero problems so far.

Sounds like ur rhino was the exception cause I know folks with Rhinos and they never had any problems.

[Riverhogman]

Well boys this discussion wasnt really helpful. I think ima take a stab at the ranger, if i can get this rhino sold.

[charles]

If it aint broke, why screw with it? If ur rhino is still ticking, why get somethin that may or may not brake down on u more than what u got

[Bo Pugh]

My dad has a ranger he just uses around the house has had it several years with no prob. And i went and picked up a used one yesterday to try out its a 700xp so far I like it and will prob go pay the man tomm but I plan on putting mine to the test this summer. I have always tore up just about everything I rode to hunt on in one summer so if you ask me this question about this time next year I will give you my honest opinion about the rangers

[hogdog05]

I can't say much for the rhinos. But tight fitting bucket seats ain't no good for a fat boy.
Rangers I personally like.
Quiet, you can fit 3 fat boys in the front seat, plenty of power( we ride around in low), wide, lots of room in bed, do need around 27 inch tires to help em out a little. Just a good workhorse.
