not sure yet...that is kinda what Imm hoping for input. Ask a couple fo the guys - im not a great big girl at all and I want to be able to play and still have the ability to try to keep up with you all..LOL... Im partial to the Renegade but Im also liking the utility types too......decisions decisions....

I sure wish you all were closer - you could go and help me figure it out!

The renegade is kind of like a wolverine, 4x4 but sporty. The 500 is an awesome machine....loads of power, and sounds good. I dont think you would need the bigger motors, like the 650 or 800.
Are you partial to any one brand? Is any brand, off the table?
If you go for a stickly ute...youre probably gonna have a hard time keeping up with the boys on the sportys, they just dont handle and slide like a sporty will. But the racks are a nice feature, and 4x4 is fun, if you find the right mudhole. And who knows, you might be the hero of the day, by pulling the boys out of the mud, when they get stuck.
The only bad thing I hear about the bombs, are that they are overpriced for what they are.

ok - i just got back from looking....Yes - they are high - but I learned there are less moving parts in them and with the suspensions etc...sounds like a good thiing for me....from the maintenance side, it also sounds like a better way to go too...Yeah - they are pricy, but Hey..I work in Trucking....I can shop anywhere right??? there are great deals all over the place...just not in Eau Claire, WI right now. I think it is going to the the 500 or 400 with the XT package - gotta be yellow.......comes complete with everything that I would like....Im going to trade in my poli and get a small one for the boys...can do this almost even up. I will get the Renegade when my ship comes in..

I would love to be the "support team" if anyone gets stuck..lol - that is a blast - sometimes the best thing about riding.....I just see the uti as the right machine so far for me...good to have extra gas can, cooler, tools etc... Hate to see anyone stuck out there!!
