Are UTVs Really More Expensive Now? With Andy Desoto of TripleS Polaris

In this episode, we’re joined by Andy DeSoto of Triple S Polaris for a real conversation about the rising cost of UTVs and side-by-sides. Are they truly more expensive than they used to be—or does it just feel that way? Andy breaks down the numbers, looks at inflation-adjusted pricing, and shares insight from years in the powersports industry.

We also talk about Andy’s upcoming involvement in Trail Hero X—the brand-new, high-adrenaline off-road experience that's pushing the limits of what UTVs can do. From the dealership floor to hardcore trail events, Andy brings a unique perspective that both seasoned off-roaders and new buyers will appreciate.

Topics Covered:

The real cost of owning a UTV today vs. the past

Are side-by-sides getting too expensive—or are we just getting more for our money?

Andy’s role in Trail Hero X and what makes the event unique
