Folks, I have a very specific gripe about the current crop of go-fast side-by-sides. See, I love to go fast over all sorts of terrain, getting dirty, covered in mud and dust and dirt, and absolutely sending it whenever given the space to do so. But I also love sharing those psychotic moments with my children, who've all grown up with me seeing their faces light up whenever I do something worthy of Pastranaland.
But the go-fast UTVs of today, the Polaris RZR Pro Rs and Can-Am Maverick Rs, well, they just don't fit my entire brood of children without aftermarket modification. Case in point, I have three children and had to add a fifth jumpseat in our family's Can-Am Maverick X3 Max. It's not a terrible thing, but it also isn't factory.
And lately, as my children have grown, we've got to thinking about trading in our Maverick X3 Max for a more plain-Jane Defender, as it has seating for six and much more space for them to stretch out. Fast, however, it ain't, and I'd have to do a whole lot of modifications to even start to get to the Maverick X3's speed.
