I would go diesel, it hasn't done me wrong. Dodge will give you the least issues.... I haul my dump trailer and bobcat in it. Only repairs are brakes and oil changes. Gas was costing a fortune! Don't be scared of mileage, I have over 350,000km on my '97 and its been everywhere.
Looking at buying a new atv..... What will be my best bang for my buck? Looking at Polaris 850 and Honda Rincon 680. Any advice? I'm not against other brands......
