Title: Who uses a mini truck
Post by: mkeller on Jan 27, 2018, 05:58 AM

Have considered looking at a mini truck to use for ice fishing.  Any of you use one and how do they compare to a utv .  thanks

A friend had one and needed tie rod ends and a few other parts. After three years of trying to get parts he sold it and bought a used Subaru Outback. I don't know if parts are easier to find now. I'll keep my UTV.

My brother uses one on his farm in NY. He checked & the lift kit/tires would cost him $2k +/-. Save the pain in the butt & get an atv or utv.
