I am looking into purchasing a new Rhino as my next toy and was wondering how they hold up? I already have a 05' Ranger XP with lots of mods. If I could get some input from some Rhino owners telling of some of the problems you may have run across it would be nice. The more hours you have on your Rhino the better. No machine is without problems so lets hear the ups and downs.

 

I have over 200 miles on mine worth of dune riding and desert crawling and the only problem I have had was one day when I was running up a pretty steep hill in about 120 degree heat with questionable gas, it stalled out on me a couple times.

Next day I replaced with fresh gas and had no problems....they are real fun and sporty so long as you respect it's limitations.

what is up bro? long time no chat......you never made it to pismo last thanksgiving for that deep fried turkey and tri tip[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

anyway...how goes it??

 

The Rhino is a top-notch woods machine, the most fun on four wheels.

 

Dunno if you should buy one, but I'm leaving for a roadie in 10 minutes to pick up my 2007. Only 2 hours to go. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Bought an '06 660 this year and love it. We use it all around the property and it's the handiest tool in the garage. Also took it to Little Sahara OK this year and it did okay out there. It won't climb the face of the dune but it will haul sodas, beer, and spare parts for Banshees!

Had the same problem with mine as TPR did. It ran out of gas on hills and was a b!tch to start afterwards. This was on the second tank of gas. Had the fuel filter replaced and it fixed the problem. I think I'll put one of those big honkin automotive type fuel filters on it instead of the little one it comes with.

Buy it!!!! You'll love it. Just get the low profile sun shade for it...the Yamaha model won't fit in my hauler!!! ;(

 

dude,go for it.them rhinos are sweet!im sure it will be a good investment

 

You and I must be driving two different kinds of Rhinos. I took my partner's Rhino to LS Oklahoma in October so my wife would have something to get around in. She went up the face of EVERY dune there. There were two Rhinos with us. Both of them, when driven properly, made it up everything we attempted.

Different driving techniques maybe?

o yeah, i forgot to tell you, sell the ranger, you wont need it anymore unless you own a farm.
