2008 Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4x4 - Tech

The standard heavy-duty 2-inch receiver-style hitch can tow over 1,200 pounds. It's surprisingly handy when moving light trailers around the yard or jockeying larger trailers into their parking spaces.

The Rhino's large dump bed makes chores easy and fun. It's also a great place to carry camping and exploring equipment in the backcountry.

While shifting between high and low range is handled by the shift lever in the console, 4WD and front differential lock is handled by these simple switches.

The 4WD engages quickly and the front locker engages and disengages on command. If only the electric lockers in our big vehicles worked as well.

The interior of the Rhino Sport is automotive-like and all controls fall easily to hand. The Sport model has a leather wrapped steering wheel and custom shift knob. The glovebox is bigger than our Jeep's.

Silver vinyl seats are extremely comfy on the trail. They're also easy to clean by hosing them off and drying. See the drain hole in the seat?

Great looking alloy wheels wrapped with sticky Maxxis tires are standard equipment on the Rhino Sport.
