ATV Loans: Types of ATVs and UTVs
Before you look at ATV financing, you’ll have to decide what type of vehicle you want and which dealership to visit. Keep in mind that an ATV has four wheels and a set of handlebars for steering; the operator and passengers straddle the seat.1 You might also know this machine as a quad, four-wheeler, 4x4 or light utility vehicle.
Another popular option is a UTV, and a side-by-side (SxS) is one of the most popular types of UTV. These vehicles also have four wheels, but they use a steering wheel. The operator and passengers sit in seats similar to car seats.1
Whether you’re shopping for an ATV or UTV, you could expect your new vehicle to hold a significant amount of value over time.2
Here’s a more in-depth breakdown of the types of vehicles you can finance with ATV loans:*
Financing ATV accessories
Even if you’ve owned an ATV in the past, you’ll likely want to accessorize your new ride. As with other powersports vehicles, safety is important when it comes to both ATVs and UTVs.7 Protective clothing, a helmet and goggles can cost more than $1,000 per person.3 You will also want to consider mechanical equipment like a winch ($100-$200) and a toolkit ($40+).3 When you finance your vehicle with a Synchrony loan you can include approved items into your loan at the time you purchase your vehicle from the dealership.*
After your vehicle purchase, you can use the Synchrony Outdoors Credit Card at powersports retailers to help you outfit yourself and your ride. The Synchrony Outdoors Credit Card allows you to purchase the powersports gear, accessories, parts, services and even fuel you need to power your passion.
