Agree with the dirt issue 100% SledTL. I'll deal with the dir5t, dust, and mud on the farm, but for recreational use No Way! To enjoy for recreation, a fully enclosed, tight sealed climate controlled cab is a must. Friend of mine went from a Poo Ranger to a Poo General, and no A/C, or tightly enclosed cab. Bad mistake as he and his wife now stick to paved roads. That's not for me, and I get enough of that daily on the farms. For what hes got in the General $$$, that's 2 very good new sleds.
Same here..... I breathe sleds 24/7 and so does my son. I don't have any other activities other than sledding, not that I couldn't but nothing compares to it. If I was to get a SxS it would have to be a UTV for our place up north. My wife loves the outdoors, especially during the summer. She likes gardening, working on the yard and even getting wood. A UTV would be great for her as long as it's fully enclosed with a heater and A/C. We have a golf cart now, that fits the bill and the cost of a SxS, forget it. There is enough to do on the sleds during the summer to keep both my son and me busy. Oh, and we are restoring vintage sleds....LOL
My advice is to check on the deals right now, if you are looking new. Inventory will only go down, and I doubt the discounts will go up. Used is probably a different story.
Man, you are right about that. Can Am especially needs to figure out the heat in the cab. They are downright unpleasant to ride if it's above 80. But so far, that's the only drawback I've found.Dust Dust Dust and Hot in the cab. Not for me. Saving for my build of my new cabin this summer, Already have 2 can am 2 seaters that we don't ride much, mostly sneak around on my golf cart.
Oh, so a truck?
How do you like that new Xpedition? I'm currently in talks with my local dealer on getting the exact same thing you have. the only complaints I've really seen is cab noise. Is it really that loud? Overall though, how are you liking it? I have nobody around me that has one, at least yet.
It is noisy. Well atleast noisier than my general was. Really only notice it being loud up over 40 mph and I think they all get loud then. I sat at an idle in my buddy's yard showing him the awesome stereo system last summer on a day it was over 100 degrees out and he was shivering when he got out. Its the only utv that has a cooling package like that. There is no way a can am's HVAC would keep up. Stupid money but you only live once and the wife enjoys it. Charity ride last weekend and we were in tshirts at 30 degrees. Its nice!!
I have a 2017 Bad Boy Stampede with full cab & I have found the same issues, dust & hot. Even when I replace the full doors with the half doors, it's too uncomfortable in the heat of summer. This thing doesn't need a heater for cold weather as I stay comfortable while plowing snow. It's ideal for Fall, Winter & early Spring, but summers, it sucks! This is my 3rd sxs & has been the best so far, built like a tank, solid 900cc twin German made engine, solid frame, great power, eps, sound system, 42" led light bar, led rear spot lights etc... All I know is I am not intersted in spending 25+ grand on one with a sealed cab with heat & AC etc... Might as well have another truck.Dust Dust Dust and Hot in the cab. Not for me.

Nice! I'm debating on going with the '24 or just waiting for the '25s to come out. It is a chunk of change no doubt. But it'll definitely get used.
About the same price as a decent used half ton, that's for sure.
