I know, my request kind of narrow it down to only the Bombardier Quest, Traxter, Outlanders and the AC 500. I would probably think that the Outlanders would be the best of the bunch but need more info.

OutlanderMAX400H.O. 4X4 seems to have a unique feature with the convertible Seat/Rack System. when you don't have a passenger just convert the seat to a rack for additional cargo. my only concern would be a lack of POWER- a 400cc engine, 640 dry weight, and 2 passengers..........also a 4.2 gal tank seems small compared to the 5.2/5.3/5.8 of the one seater Quest500/Questmax and Traxter/Quest650.

i guess it depends on what you're looking for.

how about a Polaris Ranger4X4? nice features and a roll cage to boot!......... just in case.

good luck,

Pouf, I would test drive the Outlanders with your wife and You might decide her for one of those???

 

I (WE) have really enjoyed the TRV- See if you can ride one first before you buy. Good luck!

 

Our Rubicon is great for the two of us and everything we carry. We thought about a two seater but don't care for the added length. If we did get one, it would probably be the one made from the 650 Qwest. Do Bombardier's ever wear out?

 

I would guess the Outlander.

 

i just read a good article on the Arctic Cat 2-seater.......i didn't know they offered one!.......ATVMagazine "buyer's edition" issue.

 

I think you are wise to consider a 2 person machine. The balance and stability is far greater than that of a single person machine. It is illegal to ride 2 people on a 1 person machine in many places. It is also dangerous and damaging to our sport. I think you will find the TRV a better machine, especially in suspension and ground clearance over the Bombadier machines.

 

here, i found more info on the Cat.
ArcticCat TRV
-493cc liquid
-fully independant suspension with 8" of travel
-10" ground clearance
-MRP added to the front rack
-2" receiver hitch that can tow 1050lbs
-select between 2 and 4x4
-electronic choke

sounds like the Cat has it's act together! nice ATV!!
