Utility Vehicle
A utility vehicle is one that is normally motorized and is intended to carry out a specific task with more effectiveness than a general-purpose vehicle. These vehicles can be used for commercial, transportation, and recreational activities. If engaging in off-road operations, utility vehicles are highly beneficial.
Types of Utility Vehicles

Armored

Mainly used by military; military tanks, trucks
-
Coupe or Tray

-
Crossover

-
Electric

-
Light Equipment
-
Vehicles with a flatbed that is added to an all-terrain vehicle; typically used as a maintenance vehicle
-
Sports
-
Specially designed for rough terrain, mostly off-road, conquering light to heavy duty jobs. Sports utility vehicles are regularly equipped with 4-wheel drive, giving them the ability to blaze through water and climb over raised areas
-
Utility Terrain
-
Longer and wider than ATV’S, running payloads from 800-1350 lbs.
Primary Uses
-
Farms
-
Working on a farm can be problematic at times, due to how large they can be and how many duties need done. Using a utility vehicle to get from one task to another can increase productivity.
-
Hunting Trips
-
Devoted hunters often use utility vehicles out in the wild. These utility vehicles are able to endure what nature brings them and are a huge help when covering a lot of land. Hunters are able to carry all of their gear as well as any game they may catch while out in the woods
-
Large Venues
-
At venues, utility vehicles are commonly used to transport supplies. Often times it can be challenging to move from one side to another when there is a large amount of people in a condensed area. With utility vehicles, you can move quickly through a crowd much easier.
