Thread: Rhino or sandrail

  1. #1
    marty722
    I've been saving up for a Rhino but have ran across some pretty good deals on sandrails at about half the price of a rhino...... How about the pros and cons of each.The wife hates to drive so she just wants to ride so I'm thinking maybe a sandrail would do the job and I would be able to save some money in the mean time..... I have found a couple or prowlers that are in very good shape with lots of add-ons for about 7grand......So give me your input. I just thing the rhino craze will be going away soon.... Lets hear it!!!! Thanks
    PS we are still keeping the quads just in case....

    I seen a commercial that said the 07 Rhinos will be available in automatic. Is this a big deal.

    most rails that are cheaper than rhinos.... have crappy suspension compared to a rhino! would be a super rough ride compared to how some rhinos ride... but if you use it just for duning or fire roads... you'll be OK with the rail... I personally wouldn't buy anything less than a mid-travel rail!
    the + side to rhinos is that they're convienient!! they can usually fit in the bed of most full sized trucks.... dont use much gas... will fit in the garage.. and go through tighter trails!
    if non of that appeals to you... I'd say look into a baja bug! you can get one with some decent setup suspension for around that 7k mark.... it'll do what most rails in that price range will do... but ya got windows!! deff a big + when it comes to the wind and dust

    Buggies have been around for 50+ years.
    Rhippo craze is a few years old. I'm betting that regulations will bring them down to earth.
    Ask any woman if staying power is good or bad
    Buy two buggies instead.

    If you have quads already and plan to use the Rhino or Rail mainly at the Dunes then I would definitely get the rail. You can have more fun and go a lot more places. As far as a fad, I see them becoming the land PWC.
    I just got my Rhino and so far it's just ok. But I haven't gotten any wood from it. If it werent for the Mrs and 5 year old it might be in the trader already. I should hold judgement until I get it out in the desert some.
