I think Rhino's are to wide for the trails I ride. One would be cool for cruising the dunes, but that it.

Rhino's are gay plain and simple! If you dont live on a farm dont buy one! Use them for what they are suppose to be used for and that is work!

"Gay"? Rhinos are good for a lot of fun,especially hunting.Make a kill,back up to the deer,drop tilt the bed,and load the sucker up! 1-2-3.easy as pie.....I go anywhere my KQ went. And a lot easier on my back.....When it rains, I don't get wet...When its cold the wind shield protects me. Hunting is much better on the "Rhino"!! ....also,its nicer when some one is riding with you...passenger.Great woods machine....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Bonedaddycjh, your dumb. Rhinos are awsome in my opinion. I prefere atvs better but they are great for many reasons. Great for couples and so on. If the trails are wide enough, its a great machine to get out and go explore.

I just don't think Bonedaddycjh realizes what is available for Rhino's these days. Go over to rhino forums dot net and take a look around. Or perhaps he is just showing some inexperience with various forms of motorsports.

My Rhino would definitely be too wide for his trails though, because it has a-arms that make it 13" wider than stock, and when used with its Elka Elite shocks it has 15" of suspension travel (instead of the stock 7" of suspension travel). I use it for desert racing, and will start WORCS racing at the next round in this years series. Rhino's are not all that fast, but I can hit anything I want at wide open throttle. Its like I have a mini trophy truck, for pennies on the dollar of what it would cost for a real trophy truck. Sorry, I can't afford the million dollar toys.

Try watching the WPSA and the side-by-side (rhino) racing. Very fun.

I use to think ATV's were way better. But Rhino's are a lot of fun.

I used a lot of mules when working for the government. They were underpowered pieces of crap!!! When I met my boss at his farm so that he could show me where I could go deer hunting he brought his Rhino. I thought "this is going to be a waste of time trying to go through the woods and hills and streams on this thing". Man was I wrong. They have what the mule has always needed. POWER and torque. When we got to where there were a lot of small 2" trees growing we just went over the top of them. logged u[p the hills fine and even forded a shallow stream. He told me he had only used his winch once.
They aren't quads but they aren't supposed to be. They do what they were built to do and they do it much better than the mule. I'm thinking of getting one for my wife and I to cruze through the woods and fields on when we don't want to ride the quad.

i ride mine on the trails all the time with sport quads and utility quads. unless you are trying to loose the rhino, it has no problem keeping up, as a matter of fact it easily blows the doors off the smaller solid axle 4x4 and smaller trail quads. granted i do have about 900 bucks in performance parts.

maybe your too old to be riding in the trails, and thats fine, but dont run your mouth about a subject you have no clue about.
