BAD NEWS for SELLERS. SXS UTV sales are COLLAPSING. 

I sold my 2020 Kawasaki Teryx T2 this past summer. I had bigger tires, wheels, 6 inch super atv lift, all kinds of accessories. It was a great all around sxs. Hated I had to sell it. I was fortunate enough to sell it for what was owed.

@@uhhuhuhhuuuuuh2027 I’m seeing a lot of posts with people saying “I just need to get out of what’s owed”

I am looking to buy. I keep hearing the interest rates are high on Sidexsides right now! Will see what happens in the next few weeks!

Yes and no. But maybe it’s time to do a trail comparison at cost like buy a used SXS for 10k and a jeep at the same price and go rally them? 🧐

@@sxsoffroad I would go avg price for a SxS and then a Jeep of the same price. I'd say the avg SxS is much more than $10K.

@@someguy5035 well yeah, I was think something in the range would be 10 years old by both counts, maybe a little more. However, if I could go with new… what jeep package is 50k right now?

@@sxsoffroad I would go with $20K SxS vs whatever Wrangler you can get for $20K. There are many used JK/JKU out there at that price. If you were going to make a video on it, I would go with the average sale price of a SxS. That would appeal to the most people.

Yes. I like them on some trails but for longer term, regular use, give me a good Land Cruiser any day. Watch your buddies getting cold and wet with your heated seat on- listening to some tunes with no wind blowing in your face! It can double as a car camper at night- win/win!

Breaking 50k now

Imagine, what you could build with 10-15k, let alone $50,000.

I’d rather spend extra 20 and get a truck with a heated or air conditioned cab and a windshield and doors lol

well said

And yet, still vote blue

big words. you must be smert.

A very sensible write up

Economics 101 has nothing to do with red or blue

You are absolutely correct, the industry is doomed, and I own 2 sxs

I looked at a Polaris razor, they wanted 40k for a 2 seater 38k by the time taxes are factored 40k, I started to really look this thing over in person and noticed atrocious welds, cheap plastic everywhere, CVT transmission which sucks as far as reliability goes, at 40k I'd rather have a real gearbox, the welds that are visible on the cage were what we call dirtdivered, how did that pass quality control, it was out in the open, needless to say I would never own one with the kind of prices they have it at now, you would be better off building yourself a better one way cheaper.

I work for a brp dealership... and 100%. you're paying the price of a car for something that has extremely limited access comparatively, not to mention the longevity for something that expensive. In saying that they are a 'luxury item' and as such have a target audience.

@@brodienorton7965 this is a great statement. Luxury item for sure. I’m about to do a demographic survey on SXS owners

@@sxsoffroad awesome idea, here in Australia at least, I don't think they've caught on in the same way that the have over in the US, you're core demographics here are really defenders for farmers/hunters or people who live on the road, and mavericks for people who have the money to throw around on something that they might use a handful of times a year or the people that are racing them as an entry way to off road desert racing. There isn't really a massive public market for them like there is in the US with access to modifications, parts, communities and massive events like they have at glamis, the US Utv market s&@ts all over the Australian market

@@machinesnmetal in 2 years time there’s going to be a flood of SxSs in the market if the economy keeps going down the shitter. THATS the time to buy. These guys paying 40k for a toy are going to be desperate for a quick 10k.

I agree. Just saw a sweet used (300 miles) 2022 Pro R 4 ultimate with aftermarket everything for 50k, must’ve had 10k in accessories and had cut the price twice already. I’m sure that’s a “get me out of this rig for what I owe” cry for help.

My ex hubby & I bought our 07 Yamaha Rhino 450 from Abernathy’s cause the Prices in Paducah was so much higher.

4Runner’s that are 2runners have an extreme value still!

That might be the sole reason. I was following behind my buddies on their enduros in Moab, headed out towards Mill Canyon. It was early AM and only about 35F (March.) I had the heat on and a big smile on my face...as I adjusted my heated seats. Later that day, we end up on Shafer Trail- all good fun.

@@sxsoffroad Great video brother!

@@peaceprayer595 thank you! Post it up and share it with your buddies! 🇺🇸

Lol. We used to wheel a tracker. You could pick them up if they tipped over

They should start making the tracker again. Great little machine and would probably sell for less than a Polaris 4 seater.

Yeah I never really understood the whole UTV thing. I think riding dirt bikes is a heck of a lot more fun, not to mention an actual workout. Hard to ride and drink beer at the same time like a UTV tho.

I agree and they have caused the closure of several riding areas in my area!!!

I like your style. Traditions never trend.

That’s what’s up

They are expensive to fix, there will be lots of non-runners sitting behind barns in a few years.

This is literally the best accurate description of current happenings I've read yet.

That’s right

Yup

RV market is crashing also.

Yes

Seriously, every dealer by me has pre-sold orders and used machines for new prices.

I added a full flow exhaust to my XRS but ordered specifically a “quiet.” My old SXS was way too loud.

What a deal! That’s like 15,000 usd right!? 😜

@@sxsoffroad, LOL!!

im in canada and bought my 21 xds rr for 30k plus tax. put an easy 10-12k in extras into it. roof,windshield, rear window, side windows, lower doors, door bags, 32" tires, plow, winch, bumper, custom stereo, heater, baja designs 10" and squadron pros. shit adds up fast.

@@philmonachan8007 That’s why I drive dirt bikes. Wayyy more smiles per mile at a fraction of the cost

What?????? You can buy a Raptor R for that lol. I just started looking for my first one and I thought $20k for a Can Am was insane. Wow I guess I did not realize how expensive these things are.

I’d wager that trail devastation is due to more people rather than type of equipment. I use descriptive words like yours to describe my local ski area, more people have ruined it, not their ability or equipment

@@sxsoffroad It's equipment that turns single track into a road.

You’ve just nailed one of my biggest concerns and fears. As a utv driver I am so cautious on blind corners and roads. I never want to be involved in that nightmare:

There has/had been way to many Newbies that have never driven anything but a car on pavement running out buying the biggest fastest SXS there is then Modding it out to the extreme then getting on the trails rutting everything out with the ruttes being wider then a dang 4-wheeler while going as fast as they can

SXS nightmares are not any fun trust me lol I ripped my Arm off in 08 from flipping my Rhino on it’s side. OPPS so I’m strictly Honda 4-wheeler now ​@@sxsoffroad Yeah

While you’re not wrong, the experience is totally different. SXS’s are land boats

100%! Saw a USED 2018 Ranger 1000 for $25,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking insane!

I’m glad you landed in a good place man

Yes way to many people have gone from 4-Wheelers & along with “Newbies” that have never ridden before but SXS’s because they get a false sense of security from the Roll Cage. I was guilty of failing for the false security when ex & I went from 4-wheelers to a SXS Rhino in 07 because in 08 I ripped my Arm off cause I flipped it

Not at Interstate 69 Motorsports!

Coming from a 4x4 building background (3 land cruisers, 1 Land Rover) the experience is totally different. Neither one would be a daily driver if built correctly so you’re still doing a tow rig and trailer and the expense of a break on a jeep vs a SXS is exponentially higher. All that being said, I like both 😂

It’ll be fine, people will keep Buying

@@sxsoffroad I’m sure they will. Heck I’ll buy another SXS at some point. Maybe sooner than later. Cash is king and a lot of people asshole deep in debt will be unloading their sxs’s. However for now ATV’s are where it’s at for our family.

I used to have Landcruisers, one FJ 60 that I built up to handle most anything. These days it would be a 100k car. SXS is a strange market but so are boats. One thing I love is that when it does break, the repairs are easy and pretty damn cheap

Yeah, with all the parts on my Turbo S I'm probably into this thing 40k. Kinda kicking myself because last year I sold my 2007 FJ Cruiser with super low miles. Im starting to think about how insane i could have made that FJ with 40k cash (because i paid cash for the machine and parts). Could have super charged the FJ, long travel, cage, etc

@@RDA8191 i’ve got a worse story for you than that. Are used to have a 1983FJ 60. I sprung it over, snorkel kit, lockers, gears, full custom hoops, full adjustable shocks, safari did out, two bumpers everywhere, full waterproofing, you name it. I couldn’t even guess how much money I had into that thing. I sold it at a time when nobody wanted those cars. $3800. How’s that?

Try at least twice that for a full roller tube chassis. Just the motor, axles and wheels and tires are close to 25k by themselves. I use to be in the Jeep game. My next trail rig will be a SXS- looking at the Kawasaki KRX. The power to weight ratio, ground clearance and suspension. No Jeep is going to touch that for the price.

They are incredible machines and over the top for the average weekender. I know guys who went all in and are over 90k into them now. But… they also own business related to them so being big and flashy sells.

@@sxsoffroad It broke all that? Was the quality that bad or was it the way you were abusing the machine?

@@Blueknight1960 not abuse. Here’s the saga: The first major problem happened when I took it to Moab the first time. I went over and did a small ledge on cliffhanger and folded the steering rod down and snapped the lower ball joint. That was within about 45 minutes of me driving it off the trailer. After that was repaired, I began snapping ball joints and tie rod ends pretty regularly. I swapped out the a arms and that helped. The stock ones had bowed out by almost 2 inches. The snapping of ball joints happened one or two times every time I took it out on the trail. It became the bad luck machine. I would be going down the road and not even a rough one and it would just suddenly snap and drive me down to the ground. I nearly rolled it five or six times because of this. I got to the point where I was just too scared to drive it. It was involved in an accident at one point, everything was gone through, frame checked, and beefed up with every aftermarket part you can imagine to strengthen it up. No luck, it just kept having problems and at one point the engine seized. It turned out that the oil pump wasn’t moving things like it should have, and it burned out. 4500 bucks for a rebuild on that motor. Needless to say, I was done with it.
