I'm just about to the point where I'm gonna pull the trigger on a 950 trail.  I already have a 66 inch plow and push tubes, so all I will need is a mount.  It will be either a 23 or 24 G2.  Any experiences you can share will be useful.  I used my plow with a RZR 900 trail and it worked great.  Any suggestions for a source on the plow mount would be good too.  The mount on my RZR was a KFI.

I'm seriously considering a Zforce.  It will either be a 2022 950 sport (60 inch wide) or a 2023 950 trail (50 inch wide).  I have a utility trailer which I can easily load and haul either machine in.  However, I will sometimes want to take my camper along.  My tow vehicle is a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a 6.0 gas engine.  It is a crew cab model with a long bed (97.4 inches).  My current side by side is a RZR 900 trail eps.  It will fit in the bed and I can raise the tail gate partially up and secure it with a couple of straps.  That leaves ample space to hitch up my camper and bring everything with me.  The truck has an almost 4K payload capacity and a 13K towing capacity.  My 39.6 foot camper weighs in at about 8500 - 9000 lbs ready to camp.  My problem is that the RZR is an 80 inch wheelbase whereas either of the two cfmotos I'm looking at have a 90 inch wheelbase.  I won't be able to raise the tail gate at all.  It will have to stay flat.  I can get a 7 inch hitch extender and tailgate supports to strengthen the tail gate and also extend my hitch enough to still hitch up my camper and leave the tailgate down without it touching the tongue jack even in a turning situation.  I'm just wondering if any of you have tried this type of setup.  I would appreciate any advice you all can give me about this.  I also have a pretty decent set of ramps and they handle my RZR just fine.  Also, do any of you winch your side by side up into the bed of your truck or do you just drive it into the bed.  I've always driven my RZR into the bed, but have been thinking about setting up a way to use the winch.  Any advice I can get on this issue will also be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum.  I'm here because I'm about to lose my beloved RZR 900 Trail EPS in a divorce.  I won't go into the details about that.  I'll be honest, I'd love to have another new RZR Trail.  Mine is a 2015 and it has been trouble free since I bought it new.  However, I'm not sure I can afford a new one.  I paid 13.5K out the door for it in '15.  A new one about like it would run about 19 or 20 K out the door.  So, I'm looking at the Zforce 950, maybe the trail version but no wider than the 60 inch model.  I've read as much as I can find and watched reviews and I'm impressed.  However, I was reading on the 950 forum here, and I'm really concerned about the evap canister issue.  It seems to me that this issue has been the ruin of a number of otherwise excellent machines.  My question is:  Has this issue been resolved on the 2023 machines?  Any light that any of you can shed on this issue would be appreciated.
