I am stuck between purchasing a leftover 16 Kodiak in camo for $7,500 out the door or a 17 Can-Am Outlander 570 Max for $8,000 out the door. Probably 50% of the time I will have a passenger on the back wife/kids. I will be doing some trail riding with the passenger but nothing heavy and difficult. My main question is if anyone can give me there real world experience with a passenger on the back of the Kodiak with an aftermarket seat. Is it stable? Is it Safe? Do you wish you purchased a 2up ATV instead?
One other question I have is with the 4-wheel drive system on the Kodiak. I will not be doing any mud bogging or extremely difficult terrain but will come across some mud, rocks, logs, etc.. Do you owners of the Kodiak feel that the 4X4 system on the Kodiak is adequate? Have you gotten stuck in any situations where you wish you had a different 4-wheel drive system?
Finally, How satisfied are you with your Kodiak and have you had any reliability issues.
Sorry for all the questions. Just want to make sure I make the right choice.
Thanks in advance.
