Are you considering a diesel side-by-side? The following guide can help you determine whether it’s a good match for your needs and lifestyle.
Yes, if You Need a Mechanical Workhorse
It’s no surprise that diesel UTVs are often used in farming, construction, and transportation industries. Their performance potential is quite impressive!
For example, diesel side-by-sides produce a lot of torque so that you can quickly start hauling heavy loads.
Diesel UTVs are well-suited for handling a variety of projects across a variety of terrains. Farmers can use them to carry feed to livestock. Landscapers can use them to haul away unwanted materials. Whatever your project is, diesel side-by-sides are up for the challenge.
No, if You Want a Quiet Engine
Diesel engines are louder than their gasoline counterparts. Some folks love the loud engine growl, but it may not be a good match for everyone.
Maybe you want to take your side-by-side on a hunting trip without scaring away the animals in the area. Maybe you want to go trail riding in places where there are low decibel level limits. If a quiet engine is a priority for you, a diesel UTV may not be the best match.
Yes, if You Want Better Fuel Mileage
A diesel UTV can travel up to 35% further per gallon than a gas model. Use your side-by-side for much longer before needing to fill up again.
This is especially helpful if you ride for hours on end. You’ll be able to get more projects done or explore more trails before needing to stop to refuel.
No, if Finding Diesel Fuel in Your Area Is a Challenge
Many gas stations offer diesel, but not all of them do. There are some areas of the country where locating diesel can be difficult. Those who live in more rural areas with a longer drive to the nearest gas station can have an especially hard time. If getting the necessary fuel for your diesel UTV would be a challenge, you may want to choose a different option.
Yes, if You Want Easy Maintenance
Not everyone has the skills to tackle do-it-yourself maintenance. Not everyone has the time to continually take their side-by-side to the service department.
Fortunately, diesel UTVs require less upkeep. Their lack of spark plugs and spark plug wires, for example, result in fewer parts to maintain. Their engines tend to last much longer before needing expensive repair.
In other words, spend less time maintaining a diesel side-by-side and more time using it!
