    Well guys, I finally did it! The past few years I've been contemplating a 4-wheeler to help around the house with hauling firewood and doing some snow plowing. And also the much needed mind clearing trail riding!! Nothing like driving through the woods in the peace and quiet. As much of you already know I've had a life altering experience over the last 16 months and decided it's time to do what I want to do and start enjoying life as much as possible! I went all out and got myself a 2016 Can-Am Outlander MAX 570 XT. Such a nice ride and so much fun, makes work a lot easier to get done! I have named it "Remission"....... :D

    Yes it has dynamic power steering, you can choose 3 levels of rigidity. They have really come a long long way since I had one last! My last 4-wheeler was more than 20 years ago. And yes, factory second seat for the wife. We like to put around in the woods and just get away from all the stress.

    I can't wait to plow with this thing! I was looking at the Grizzly as well but I got a better deal on the Outlander.

    I bought the grizzly at a place where they had can am's, but it was priced right as a new leftover. I did just stop in and looked at a defender up here and started drooling!
