Default rhino or rzr

i was looking to buy a rhino or a rzr in the next year. i like both of them and wouldn't mind having the rhino or rzr. i would like to know what you guys think about them and which one you guys think is better for trail rides and alot of mud.

I have the RZR & love it, does everything very well but I feel the Rhino does also, i got to see one this year on a three day trip & it worked very good, they are slower than the RZR. I would base my decision more on the dealer & service reputations they have than anything else this is why I bought my bike the service I have recieved in the past was awsome. You will hear from some who will bash each other's brand. Just pick the one that feels right for you because they are both great.

i pretty much agree with nightclerk. this might not be true for other rzrs, but i've seen a couple and the rhino seems to protect the fenders better in the case of a rollover. i've also heard the rhino is tougher. i'm trying to decide whether to get a rhino 700 or a grizzly 700. tough choice. get whatever feels right for you.

I guess everyone has different opinions on what determines toughness. The RZR won the BITD race, which is the longest desert race in the US. There were 9 Rhino's, 1 Arctic Cat, and 1 RZR, and the RZR was the only one to finish the race.
They are both good vehicles. A test ride in both of them would probably make up your mind on which one you want.

My 2-cents, in their STOCK form (tires change exempt):
Dunes, desert, open spaces or limited trail access (under 50") go with the RZR.
Heavy muddin, rock crawling, bush crashing, hunting, farm or construction work go with the Rhino

Might want to wait and throw the Kawasaki in the mix.

I have an RZR as well,it goes great in the mud.Even "heavy mud".It all depends on whether you need the tilt bed.The RZR can haul 300lbs. in the bed but it doesn`t tiltThe RZR is a real blast to drive and will drive circles around a stock rhino.Good luck choosing.

have you ever considered a tomcar. I drove one on a mountian trail and the thing was rock solid.

I second the Tomcar, it gets further ahead of the RZR/Rhino the tougher the trail gets!

I agree 100%... also...

If you want to take more than one passenger, friends.. kids, dog Rhino. Room for more long treking storage, bigger and better contained bed.

Not as fast and won't be legal on ATV only trails so it depends totally on how you intend to use them.
