Default ultimate atv?

hey , what's up, cool forum , and thanks in advance for help . I just bought a vacation place in dr . the bigest highway is 2 lanes each way and in my area the only paved roads ( 2 of them) ar 1 lane each way. There are hundreds of dirt roads on crazy hills / mountains(5-6k ft) with few little streams to cross. I'm looking for a cheap vehicles to send over there .

The vehicle needs to be able to A) handle some real rough roads with 2 people on it .B) go on paved roads for maybe up to an hour at a time . C) be reliable and easy to work on with easy access to parts .D) would be real cool if it could haul a trailer . E) have good fuel capacity and a gas gauge.

I'm thinking an atv, 6 wheeler , or dune buggy type of thing and would love it if there where 2 front seats . registering it is not much of a problem but it should have lights or elec system to add heads, rear running, brake, and maybe signals.

is there such a beast?

thanks

Maybe you are looking for something like a Rhino??? Won't be cheap though, unless you find a clapped out used one....

Need 4X4? If not, there are lots of off-brand karts and buggies out there that could handle rough roads. If you do need 4x4 then check out a UTV called the REDNECK. It's a Chinese version of a Rhino/Prowler/Ranger with a 660cc motor and swing-arm rear suspension. Don't know how much cheaper it is than the name-brands. If it isn't much cheaper, go with the Yamaha, etc., as parts will be easier to source.
