Do you see that over there? On the horizon, a steep, celestial mesa stretches above the clouds, whispering “surmount me” as your eyes widen with anticipation. That caveat: it’s going to make you work for that sweet, sweet vista. With only sheer cliffs and a narrow two-track leading to the top, your cumbersome adventure mobile [read: Toyota 4x4] is just a touch too wide and a lot too underpowered to make that climb, especially with all your camping equipment in tow. So, what is a dirt enthusiast to do? How do you reach the ultimate overlanding climax?
Answer: a UTV.
But wait! What about all the aforementioned “camping equipment”? Without it, how will you cook? Where will you lounge? What will you use to shovel toilet holes? But more importantly, how are you going to sleep at night with that bad back and an irrational fear of snakes slithering into your sleeping bag? Surely, a glorified golf cart (as the uninitiated might say) cannot carry a portable household into the barren wastelands we typically love to explore in our trucks and SUVs and Jeeps (indeed, it’s a separate category). Getting away from it all whilst having it all…literally. And even if you could stuff your odds and ends into the cage, would the suspension handle the load, or would the engine survive those demands at elevation?
