For Cargo and Storage: SxS
When comparing ATVs and Side-by-Sides for hunting, It's important to compare cargo space. While a four-wheeler like the Can-Am Outlander can certainly carry its fair share with multifunction racks and a bevy of attachable accessories, an SSV—much like a car or truck—has storage in countless places, like under the seats, in the cargo bed and in other pockets and nooks all over the vehicle.
For example, just the cargo box on a Can-Am Defender Side-by-Side will carry up to a 1,000 pounds. Add to that a waterproof toolbox, dash and under-dash storage, and a lower box... you see our point. This means you have loads of places to store hunting, camping, and survival gear, not to mention the ability to haul home hides, racks, and meat. Want more? With six wheels, the sky's the limit. Experience superior storage space and bed capacities with the Defender 6x6 or Defender PRO.
Hunting quads, meanwhile, have far more limited storage, with rear and front racks to hold around 300 pounds combined. While this might be plenty for some, hunters after big game tend to go for a hunting SxS when it comes to storage. That said, the mighty Can-Am Outlander MAX 6x6 DPS is an exception with its ability to carry up to 700 pounds in its racks.
