2022 CFMOTO UForce 1000 — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $11,000–$16,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.

Kestrel Take

A well-equipped, big-bore work UTV at a mid-size price — CFMOTO undercuts the established brands significantly and quality has improved a lot. The tradeoffs are a thinner (but growing) dealer network and less durability data. Verify local support, then check the belt and water intrusion.
