Yamaha finally got my Rhino to Iowa City, I should be able to pick it up this Friday. I had a Grizzly but it didn't fit my needs. It was ahoot to drive and I loved it, but I never used it. I had it for 18 months and only put 40 hours and 90 miles on it. It went anywhere. So I wanted a side by side and Yamaha came out with theirs last fall. Same drive train and independent suspension as the Griz. I did get to drive my Rhino the other day, couldn't take it home as they were waiting on the winch mounting plate. Here is my very short impression, well, the smile on my face says it all. Its well worth the 4 month wait and the very cranky call I made to Yamaha, which incedentaly had the Rhino headed to Iowa the next day. It felt as stable as the Griz, a little more top heavy but solid. Seats are kinda narrow so BIG folks might have a fitment problem. The 2 inch receiver is 14 inches off the ground which is just right for the trailer it will pull. The stock tires won't dig up the yard to bad. The wife won't be afraid to use it aroud the yard. I think its a keeper. The bed will only hold 400 pounds and is a little on the small side but it will tow around 1200 pounds too. I'm sure these numbers are on the conservative side. The roll cage is very solid and I have lots of different ideas for mounting gun racks etc. I can't wait.
