For Florida hunters preparing for Fall, the 2025 Can-Am Defender and Kawasaki Ridge are top UTV choices for quiet operation, hauling gear, and navigating tough terrain.

Hunting season is just around the corner in South Florida, and if you're heading into wildlife management areas like DuPuis or JW Corbett, the right UTV can make a major difference. You need power, low engine noise, and the ability to haul gear through deep sand and brush without getting stuck. At Broward Motorsports Treasure Coast, we’ve got a lineup of 2025 UTVs built to meet those demands—and more.

What Makes a UTV Ideal for Hunting?

A great hunting UTV isn’t just about horsepower. You need a combination of stealth, strength, and all-day reliability. Key features to look for:

  • Low noise output to avoid spooking game

  • Selectable 4WD and locking differentials for soft or uneven terrain

  • Spacious cargo beds and accessory racks for hauling supplies and harvested game

  • High ground clearance to tackle palmetto roots, sand mounds, and water crossings

  • Lighting and winches for pre-dawn departures and post-dusk recoveries
