I have a friend or friends that own every model you can think of and if I was buying tomorrow, the Mule Pro FXT would be at the top of my shopping list. If you only need 1 bench seat, the Honda Pioneer 700 that I own, has been bullet proof as expected, and the price is very competitive or better than most. But if you plan to routinely carry 5 people, I would strongly suggest a 2 row model like the Mule Pro FXT. It will be more expensive, but you will regret not having room for your whole family.....
