Intimidator UTVs For Sale near Pensacola, FL and Biloxi, MS

UTVs

Utility terrain vehicles, abbreviated as UTVs, are some of the most versatile and durable powersports vehicles available on the market. Their uses are broad, so they can serve a variety of purposes for workers and recreational riders alike. Your local UTV dealer is L&M Marine LLC in Stapleton, and we’ve gathered up some information on UTVs to help you determine whether they’re right for you.

Defining UTVs

First, let’s establish what a UTV is. Utility terrain vehicles are four-wheeled vehicles generally open to the air with no roof or sides. They are smaller than a passenger car, but they have a steering column, gas and brake pedals and seatbelts like a car does. Their bench-style seating provides space for anywhere from two to six passengers, which gives them their other name: side by sides. Utility vehicles are made primarily for off-road use on rough terrain and dirt paths where cars would be more difficult to drive.

UTV Safety

When operating or riding in a UTV, it’s best that you follow good safety practices. One of the most important steps you can take is to wear a well-fitted helmet that has a high crash-test rating and is certified by Snell or DOT. Because side by sides have the potential to roll over, it’s essential that you have head protection whenever you ride in one. Motocross helmets with a pair of goggles for eye protection are ideal for UTV riding, but a motorcycle helmet with a full face mask will also serve you well. You’ll want to wear long sleeves, pants, boots and riding gloves to complete your ensemble.

Always ride your UTV in good weather conditions and during daylight hours so you have the best visibility. If you’re riding in a new area, you’ll want to take it slow and watch out for objects in your path. Never drink or use drugs before you operate a UTV. Pass other vehicles to the right and don’t crowd anyone off the trail. Make sure you always fill up your tank with gas before you head out, too!

When To Use A UTV

Utility vehicles can be used for professional work or recreation, depending on your needs and desires. You can even get a side by side that’s capable of both! Farmers, ranchers, construction workers, and landscapers all benefit from UTVs as crew transport and hauling or towing machines. Recreational riders can take the whole family on an off-road adventure or hit up a local trail to explore nature. Whatever you want to do, your UTV can help you do it!
