Two questions, what is it and why?

[Derek_Erickson]

one other, how much!

[Bighorn hunter]

suzuki carry 660,45 to 55 mpg, 11,000.00

[Chuck]

Lots of room for meat!

4 X 4 I hope or it could get hoplessly stuck me thinks.

[Bighorn hunter]

it is a 4x4 and has 2" reciever hitches front and back for the winch

There is a couple in town here but I think one is an Isuzu? and the other is a Suzuki... They look neat it will be interesting to hear how it compares to say an ATV...It sure would be nice in the late fall thats for sure...

Nice! What tires do you have on there right now? I have 92 Suzuki Carry, I plan to paint it, lift it, and puts mud terrain tires on it, do it up real nice. But i'm having a tough time tracking down some DOT approved mud terrains that will fit, need DOT cause its my daily driver.

Pretty neat, what's top speed? Max cargo weight? Does it have a transfer case with low range?

I looked at them when I imported my landcruiser, was looking for something to fill up a container.

My max top speed is probably about 110 km/h. Up to 1000 lb payload, my quad in the pic is over 600 lbs. Mine does have a transfer case with hi/lo, but some just have an extra low gear that is only available in 4 wheel drive.

my bro has had the suzuki for about 2 months and he loves it. He has 27" quad tires for it and he says he can chew pretty good.

I owned a van version in Australia and it had the nickname of the little toaster:smile: They seem to be flogging them out here for a good penny i got mine for 650 au dollars with plenty of rego left.

It gave me a place to sleep on my travels but I would not want to do mud or deep water thats for sure and trust me, driveing between sydney and melbourne is a tedious chore in one of those toasters. For $11,000 i think a Kawasaki Teryx or a Yamaha Rhino would be the way to go for here. Horses for courses i suppose.

Looks like a gas saver to me ,love the new paint job on it. If you are going to use it for some road hunting the animals won't see you coming ,LOL.http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif.

Looks like a pretty sweet unit. I have been looking at some Samari's and Sidekicks too, a lot less than a quad and they have a heater too.

Cheers

[Vansmasher]

cool looking unit.....IMO you definitely couldn't replace a quad with it, but its definitely got its place....and road worthy for 11 grand....THATS AWESOME!!

[BCrams]

Saw someone driving one yesterday. Thought it was pretty cool but I thought the tires were on the small side. Its definatly small as you can see with the quad comparison.

[bckev]

I am about 6'7 would I fit in it? (No not the back, I mean be able to drive it)

I'm 5'10 and there isn't to many parts of me that aren't touching something. At 6'7 it might be a tad squishy.

You guys are right, it won't go wher a Quad will go, but it can legally go where a quad can't.

for 11 grr I would rather buy a fully outfitted polaris ... prolly more usefull too .....

How is it in Off camber situations ...

have to wait and see, the motor is mid mount with acces through a panel in the box. with a low center of gravity it shouldn't be to bad thought.

If buying a quad stick with a honda, way less maintenace

hmmm, could explain why I know a few good chiropractors, but not many small engine machanics.
