You think SXS's are expensive for what you get you should price motorcycles!

Yeah some people buy $25,000 SXS's, to be fair though you can buy a nice, new SXS for under $15K. My Honda 520 was $10K new. They're way more capable than a 4x4 truck off road as well as being more nimble.

But a used pick-up truck might be a better option for your needs.
