The new XT Cab package, arriving in Can-Am dealerships in February, 2016 features all of the hard-working components found in the Defender XT package, but also comes with exceptional comfort, a complete hard cab, integrated heater and electric windows:

This definitely would the ultimate in cold weather comfort but all these extra goodies certainly add a lot to the cost of an already pretty expensive machine, probably in excess of 20K fully outfitted like this. A nice used compact 4x4 truck costs a lot less plus you can drive it anywhere with no need to trailer on the highway.

 

It's definetly a nice machine. We have a Kubota RTV 1100 that's pretty similar to this, only it has a few more options that I don't think this commander has like a 3cyl Diesel engine, hydraulic dump bed, a PTO for attachments, Air conditioning and a few other things. I paid $22,000 OTD for mine back in 2010

 

I guess maybe farmers or ranchers can somehow write utvs off as farm expenses on their taxes perhaps but at over 20 grand, how many people can truly afford these? A lot of people buy them but they really can't afford them. They've just gotten too expensive. You can buy an old Rhino or Ranger for 5 grand and get any work done that needs to be done. Maybe they aren't as nice or have as much power but you won't be paying for it for the next 5 years.
