Rhino's with a few mods seem to be priced well north of 13K. And then you need a trailer to get it to the desert.
A have seen some really nicely modified Jeeps with ARB lockers etc, for about 15K. The jeep can be towed 4 wheels down or you can drive it to the desert.
Having driven one I still don't understand the Rhino hype.

rhinos don't compare to jeeps. it's like comparing a riding lawn mower to a tractor,
the problem is space, and hauling.
most people don't have just a jeep or just a rhino, they have
toy box trailers that they have to put moms quad the kids quad and a
rhino, or a sandrail and a rhino.
the jeep takes the whole trailer if it will fit at all.
Well people we're spending decent money on the XR50's when they came out..... I wonder how long the Rhino thing will last? :idea:
Different strokes for different folks, pretty much comes down to your individual needs and activities. The rhino just so happens to work for us and the kids love it.

I don't get it myself, then again I've never ridden in one - so what do I know. If I was in the market for another toy - I would consider a used $2K-$4k jeep before a Rhino. At least you can use the jeep to launch the boat.
Ideally if you have a Jeep you will have an RV to tow it... we sold our Rhino since I still prefer to ride my quad over it and we weren't using it enough to have a 10K + toy in the garage. Now we have a jeep and it's my daily vehicle, but the downfall now is we will be driving separately when we want to take it out to play in the dirt. We have a WW and still have my quad, 50 & golf cart to take down. Which is ok on the short trips like to Ocotillo Wells. But we've had a blast in it together and we can take more people which is nice. Plus come the time to put little babies in it, that's a plus for the Jeep vs. Rhino. I see so many people who try to put kids in it when they are tiny and they don't know how to keep the dust out of their mouth/nose and just get pissed back there so it's not fun and they end up heading back (at least w/ people in my group from what we've seen). So for us who is gearing up to start a family the jeep is right for us. The Baby can ride comfortably in the back and when they are tiny I can sit back there and hold the head
So there's a perspective from someone who has done both now. Maybe once we have kids and they are of age to ride or will enjoy a rhino we'll go back but for now the Jeep is far more practical for us.

That's our other reasoning in selling the Rhino & getting a jeep, we can drive it to Parker, grab the boat from storage and launch the boat with it. I wouldn't tow it there, but from storage it's only a few minutes. So over all, the jeep had far more functions we were looking for.

Good luck finding a used 2-4K jeep that you would actually own.
