So I've has a 700-4 since 2020. It's done everything I've ever wanted within reason. But I think it's about time to step up to 1000-5, probably after hunting season though. If I call a dealer and order one what's the wait time/process? Put something down?
Is the Forest worth the extra over a base or deluxe? Will be used 70% for hunting/ club work. 30% riding at atv parks. I like the idea of the bed lights and self leveling shocks but shocks probably ain't needed and the bed lights, winch, etc I can probably do cheaper my self.
Just like
@Scoop said, get on ATV Trader and start calling dealers.
When I ot the go ahead from the Mrs. I started right away and Scoop told me the same thing.
I had ALL the stars aligned....I drove to two dealers on a monday, one had a 1000-3 that I was looking for but it was sold(was ordered 6 months prior). The other dealer had none.
The next day on ATV Trader I noticed the one dealer that I went to had a VIN attached to the gray unit they had on ATV Trader indicating they had it in hand. I called and 5 minutes later I bought it. Two days later it was in my garage.
LUCK? STARS ALIGNED? SCOOP? All the above.....
I still cannot believe I got one.
Good luck in your search.
