T4

Ok guys so since im looking for a new ride I went and test drove a T4 yesterday. I think im in love! Ok blah blah rzr blah blah I know I know. The rzr is a great machine but I still just have no desire to want one. The more I think about it the more I like the idea of having a 4 seater because how often does someone get too ummm, whats the word, filled with joy sounds good; to be able to safely operate their machine. At the same time as well somebody always breaks down so why not have a 4 seater to take whoever with you.
There was plenty of room in the front and back seats (me and my brother most of you are aware we are not small guys) we both sat in all of the seats. The fully loaded model we were in also was red with black rims already on it so it matches my truck to boot!
So anybody have a GOOD reason for me to pick something else because im pretty sold on a T4 with a good cage chop as soon as I buy it right now plus I made a new friend that is the sales manager at a kawi dealer in cookevile and he is giving me a hell of a deal on a 2012 with .5 miles on it........

Why not keep the commander?? I love mine. That 4 seater could get big and heavy to drive over time when its just you.

I dunno......I would stick with a 2 seater. Either way buy what you like. Good Luck!

It wont stay running.... I got a friday model. Mine has always given me issues. I hear that but even when I was driving it with just me in it I felt very good with it plus the power steering helps. Its not much longer than my commander now

I love my 4seater its not a t4 but I ride alot by myself and its fine. Go for it!

Do you still have to split the case to get to the belts on these?

Dude the T4 would be a great choice!!! If I could go out and buy something new tomorrow, it would be a T4. No doubt about it. I've trolled Rex forums for a few months lately. It's a solid machine.

Haha Greg you are probably right!!! They seem to be built very solid however!! It will have to change from the short bus to the party bus!!

Part of me wants to hold out a little bit more still.... the dealer was telling me how yamaha is coming out with something very soon geared more for the sport market. I am however never buying a first year anything again.

Man you are not going to listen are you.

The Rex is a fine machine so go ahead a buy it.

As far as I have read the Rex is solid. The places we ride with a little alcohol added even a anvil with wheels would break.

I am also looking at a T4. My concern is room. I am a big guy and wonder how well I would fit.

Buy it, ride it, enjoy it.

teryx4 is a nice machine

Posting from Louisiana guys...the T4 has a belt and wet clutch set up so no more need to get to the belt, no more adjustments needed......it is solid and the only thing I have done to the one I have other than a few oil and air filter changes in 2200 miles and 180hours is I replaced the top front a-arm bushings at 2100 miles........all others were tight, ball joints, tie rods whel bearings still tight like new, brakes are about 1/2 worn at 2200 miles.......the use no oil, nothing squeeks or rattles.......very durable and plenty of power.

That's what I am looking for. I love my Rzr but tired of the never ending maintence. I have roughly 2000 miles. I have replaced every wheel bearing. All bushings x 2. Ujoints x 2. Brake pads x 2. Fan relay relocated. Water pump is now leaking and lost reverse in the transmission on my last ride. Taking it in for warranty work soon. I am in the market for a 4 seater because my little boy is almost 2 and ready to ride.

Not sure if you thought about the Wildcat four seat, back seating has more leg room then others.

KyMedic I think you may be to big for the T4. I know I am because I looked at them hard before I got my rzr4. Im 6'2'' 350 it just didnt have enough leg room for me. Very nice machine though I had a 09 teryx and really liked it.

It has the 12 brute motor in it. Ol jim bob has one 3500 miles loves it. Nice car.

Matt my daddy in law just bought a 2012 blue t4 with power steering and we went to brimestone a little over a week ago and he loved it did everything we did just skinned a few more trees with the cage. (man that thing is tall) trail 11 was a little tight but he made it just fine. we put 3 grown men in it and it still climbs like a beast about 700 pounds worth of us in it and no problems. he said you could give him a call if you wanted to. just call me and i will give you his number.

I know of 2 people around me that has the T4 and they really like it, I drove his blue one and it seemed ok except for the noise of the engine and tranny, but this was one of the first ones out and they might be quiter now. I have a rzr4 and ride most of the time with my 3 year old and after awhile you just get used to the extra lenghth and mine has power steering now and I love it. All he machines that we buy have some kind of weak spot that we don't like and the way we ride them and some of the trails we ride nothing is going to be bullet proof so I believe the Kaw, PoPo, or Cat4 would do just fine.

Probably won't fit then. I'm 6'8" and down to 405lbs. Still losing weight but that won't help the leg room.

The seat's are adjustable 3 inches front to back....and the engine is not an 12 BF engine, all new only in the T4, cases, tranny,cylinders are all new....
