I am about to purchase a UTV and am leaning toward the Prowler so my wife can accompany me more. We currently ride Yamaha Big Bears, but my wife at age 72 does not have the skill or strength to ride the difficult rocky mountain trails here in Wyoming. Our riding is primarily on these mountain trails--lots of rocks--big ones and easy to tip over an ATV if not careful. I would also use it for elk hunting in our nearby mountains.
I believe the Prowler would be a good choice because of the ground clearance is the highest among the UTV's. My questions are: Are they tough and reliable enough for rough, rocky terrain? I am a cautious rider, not abusive,but will work my ATV's hard. Iam looking at one with a full steel cab. Will engine heat keep it warm in the winter? Will windows fog easily? Prowlers are the largest of the UTV's. Is that a negative on tight and rocky four wheel drive roads?
Thanks in advance for any advice and help you might give.
