What am I missing UTV vs. Jeep

I’m a second hand jeep guy- better value and simper to fix and maintain than a sxs with expensive parts.

Actually have been hunting out of a 97 Suzuki Jimny this year which is great for two hunters or less. Any more than that and you gotta go bigger. Was awesome to turn on the heat (or AC) and keep the dust out. Noise level, highway capability and turning radius are all way ahead of sxs. You do lose some comfort on really rough roads though even when aired down- nothing has the suspension travel of a sxs. In good weather I’d rather use (if not own) the sxs.

But it’s a spectrum, all depending on where and how you’ll use it. I’m thinking of getting a TJ for a bit more room and some of the precious low end torque I’ve been missing in the Suzuki

I've been using a 1988 Suzuki Samurai for my Coastal Blacktail hunting for years, works great!
 
I've hunted out of a Tacoma for the past 10 years, but got tired of beating it up so we picked up a used Kawasaki Teryx 4. It sure rides nice and gets you places fast. I hate having to trailer it around. Especially if only need to go one canyon over and the only road over is freeway. I like camping in the Tacoma up on the mountain and only having a short walk to the glassing area. We'll try it for another year, but I think I'll end up with another vehicle and pop up tent setup in the future.
