Q: How fast will a 2021 Can

Its back in the latest Commander, and its fast. During the 2021 Can-Am Commander XT-P test, we got the Commander to 71 mph. It gets to that top speed quickly as well. Its not turbo, push-your-head-into-the-seatback explosive, but regardless, its thrilling.

If you’ve spent any amount of time around UTVs, you know just how helpful they are—by definition, these machines are built for utility. You’re not getting the most out of your side-by-side until you’ve tapped into its true towing capacity potential.

Many off-road vehicles are capable of towing thousands of pounds worth of cargo. But which one takes the lead when it comes to pulling its weight? We’ve put together this UTV towing capacity comparison to give you an idea.

NOTE: Towing a trailer is a great way to expand your UTV’s cargo storage capacity, but it can also be dangerous. Consult your owner’s manual and follow all manufacturer recommendations when towing.

Choose the Right ATV/UTV Trailer

When it comes to styles of trailers made for UTVs, you’re spoiled for choice. There’s a long list of UTV/ATV- specific trailers. Both single and double axle models are available, and there are even dump bed models on the market.

Like the vehicles themselves, UTV and ATV-specific trailers tend to be narrow. These smaller dimensions come in handy on most jobsites, though. Working in tight conditions is a lot less of a hassle when you aren’t in a massive truck or a tractor.

It’s important to note that, like UTVs, trailers have a limit as to how much they can carry. Make sure not to overload either one.
