Multi-seated UTVs are great for getting the gang to camp#4 IF YOU CARRY PASSENGERS OR EXTRA GEAR
For ferrying larger groups, four- and even six-person UTVs are capable people-haulers. The trade-off for carrying more passengers, however, is less cargo space—to keep the wheelbase in check, manufacturers shorten the cargo box on multi-seated models. That said, UTVs are also capable of towing a trailer to accommodate extra gear. A typical UTV can pull 680 kilograms and carry 135 to 270 kilograms in its rear bed. Hydraulic dump beds are an option on some models, allowing you to unload the box with the press of a button.
If carrying extra gear is your only concern, a quad equipped with utility racks and storage bins should do the trick. If you need to carry even more, make sure the quad also has a trailer hitch, or the option of mounting one. Also check the towing capacity if you plan to haul larger items, such as a boat or ice hut. A typical quad can pull approximately 550 kilograms and carry roughly 115 kilograms of gear on the front and rear cargo racks.
