I have both. Different uses for each. My mule is great because it so much more comfortable and easy to talk to a hunting buddy. Lots of cargo space. If roads are decent go with the Mule. Who am I kidding......If you can at all justify it go with the UTV instead of a 4 wheeler.

I would say Ranger either way...You just have a lot more space especially if your carrying decoys in a field a deer out of the woods ect.

I am in the same dilema.. I love my wheeler but with a BIL 2 nephew and 2 boys.. The SxS is very appealing.. I have been looking at the Rhino 450... Less expensive and seems to be a popular option..

I don't know about the newest models, but on '06 and older models, the 450 has more low end torque than the 660. Not the same overall grunt, but if you are going low and slow (and not looking for an adrenalin rush), you can't beat it for the $$.

Someone said ranger in woods.. i dunno what woods your going in, but i have been down a lot of trails in my 4 wheeler and the ranger behind me had to stop and get on. Four wheelers can go more places and thats a fact. they can get through more mud and when they do get stuck it does not take a year and a day to get it out like a ranger. but i will say the only time a ranger would be better is if you are hunting where there are levees or you have big cattle farms or any other type just open grass fields to do work.

my old job had a 450 rhino for our big appartment complexes and we spent more time getting it pulled out of the mud than we did using it go with a ranger it has plenty of lift plus if taking 3 or 4 young boys around is a concern the rhino has a cc so you can only sit 2 really
