Besides their famous tractors and combines, John Deere also excels in producing diesel heavy-duty UTVs.
Their first UTV, The Gator, launched in 1992 and remains a core part of their lineup. Designed for heavy-duty tasks on farms, worksites, and ranches, the Gator models are instantly recognizable by their classic green color and are primarily built for farming.
John Deere continually offers various Gator models in categories like work series, electric vehicles, and mid to full-size crossovers.

Still today, Honda is considered as the most reliable UTV brand. They first entered the UTV market with the Odyssey in 1976 and have maintained a reputation for reliability and durability.

From both owner feedback and my personal experience, BMS Motorsports’ side-by-sides hold up well against top brands like Honda, Polaris, and Can-Am in terms of efficiency and durability. BMS offers two model lineups: utility models for work and sports models for speed and performance.

Oreion Motors, based in the U.S. and assembling vehicles in New Mexico, was founded in 2011. Despite being a newer name in the industry, they’ve quickly gained popularity.
Oreion set out to create all-terrain vehicles that could handle both off-road adventures and street driving — and they succeeded.
Their Reeper Series is designed for multi-purpose use, delivering great performance both on and off the road. While these vehicles are dependable and sporty in appearance, they aren’t as fast as some other sports UTVs on the market.
