Awesome looking off-road vehicle

[.300RUM]

Don't know the first thing about this unit other than it's expensive, looks cool and illegally parked.

Massimo Motors, out of DFW Texas. I saw one the other day too and had to google it myself.

Looks cheap to me, have you seen the price of a Polaris.

 

[JimP]

Price wise it is not more expensive that other side by sides. A friend just bought one for $31K

 

[mdwest]

All parts made in china… then assembled in DFW at the Massimo plant in Irving…

Their side by sides are supposedly fairly decent for the price point…

Id guess they are a tier down from a Polaris or Can Am…

But if you don’t need Polaris level performance… they might be a good option for some..

So …. like a Jeep but cheaper, flimsier, and probably comes with a minimally-legal warranty.

Yeah, my old '98 is still working just fine. Though it needs the original tires replaced.

A former colleague of mine has a business selling used 4x4 Japanese mini trucks. Prices average in the $7-8,000 range. The mini trucks are made by manufacturers like Honda, Suzuki, Subaru, Daihatsu, and Mazda. I can't speak for all states but in North Carolina they are street legal and you can register them like any truck. They compare quite favorably to the John Deere Gator, Kawasaki Mule, and Polaris Ranger.

He has a picture of one set up as a hunting vehicle. While I might not drive down the road sitting up in the hunting seat I think it is a really cool set up.

Yup, there are some folks on my area that are using them, great alternative.

Just enough essential parts…..

If you are under 5’10”. Perhaps smaller. They are pretty tight!

Yeah, most that I know that have them are women folk!! However, saw more than you can shake a stick at while in Japan. Seem to be great little trucks.

And obviously right hand drive.

 

[Sideshow]

Yes the correct side

It looks cool, but I would rather just buy one for these:

Street legal, a "shade tree" mechanic can fix it, parts are readily available.
