DIRTHAMMER SAYS

This 2025 CFMoto UForce 800XL is an excellent, one-owner example of one of the most compelling side-by-sides you can buy. It's powered by an 800cc v-twin that pumps out more horsepower than a Polaris Ranger 1000, comes with a winch from the factory, but retails for just about a grand more than Can-Am's entry level, single-cylinder Defender HD-7. Simply put, it is hard to find a better deal anywhere.

We love this particular rig because it is a one-owner, garage-kept example with just 450 miles on the odometer, a street-legal kit and a Georgia tag, and a Bluetooth stereo. The seller picked it up brand new last year from RideNow Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Florida, and opted for an aftermarket extended warranty in addition to the factory one-year guarantee. The seller also opted for the TrueTimber Kanati wrap, a $450 up-charge that we think is well worth it.

The UForce 800XL is a nice balance of features and comforts of higher-end utility rigs and the pure-work ethos of more bare-bones competitors. With net doors, a 660-lb bed payload, a hydraulic-assist dump bed, and 1,500 pounds of towing capacity, it's got the chops to hang with any work rig out there. With a standard roof and windshield, its features punch above its class. It also has impeccable fit and finish, and standard 14-inch alloy wheels.

These things command respect for their build quality, capability, and fit and finish. The fact that they run way less than a comparable Can-Am or Polaris is just gravy.
