Excellent machine for the buck

Just pay the extra money for a name brand. I watched my grandfather deal with issues on his 2022 model since it was brand new. They never run right and quality is as cheap as they could make it. All corners were cut. Smallest gauge wire possible was used, cheapest sensors, cheapest pcm, cheapest cooling system, etc. the oil filter on this engine is laughable if you could even call it that. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this!

We really wanted to like this. In fact, we did - at first. However, less than a year old and with only 22 hours on it, it died. To be told this is a common problem with them that there is an starter issues that Bighorn knows about, and has been going on for years, but they continue to build them with the bad starters - what - are they using up the shipping container and hoping these die after the warranty runs out? Issue number 2, yes, it was covered under the warranty, but, there are so few places that will work on these, so we had to trailer it two hours to a mechanic. They had it for 3 weeks, gave it back, and messed with the front hood and didn’t relatch it so it blew off goign down the highway! Of course, they tried to blame it on us. SO, Bighorn is willing to replace the hood, but it’s back ordered. Depending on who you talk to, anywhere from 6 weeks to 8 month! And, because all the electrical is under the hood, you can’t use it. We are close to 2 months down and we are paying for it on our credit card each month. Bighorn says they are going to make it right, and they will call us back. But they never do. On top of this fiasco, the repair shop did a very bad job. To fix this issue, they have to take apart the exhaust and some engine parts. So I get it back twice as loud as it was when they got it, the exhaust rattles, and the entire machine shakes like crazy and there is this weird knocking noise at idle. Oh, and it take 2 or 3 times for it to start and stay running, and anything over 3 MPH causes the shake, rattle and roll to go crazy. And, now it also has no power. And we asked the repair place to adjust the shift lever, as it was really hard to get it into park, and now it doesn’t get into park at all. Like I said, the repair place says it’s my fault - yeah - right - Bighorn is doing nothing despite promises, and I just want my money back. Oh, on top of this, I was told by one of the name brand sellers of UTV’s that thesse have ‘no value’ as they are not listed on JD Power. Wel,, there you go. Don’t waste your money. There is a reason these are cheap.

We purchase this 1 wk ago. It seems to be a strong little machine. Runs well, a little loud but not terrible.
