I have a 2015 CanAm Commander XT 1000, and have found only the odd place I can't go because of the width. Those places were up old logging roads where there had been washouts over the years and it was also a risk for ATV's to pass by safely.
Up here in BC where we ride there are 1000's and 1000's of places to ride. We also have theses great books and or chips for hand held GPS that show us all these roads we can travel on.

We looked and have ridden a lot of ATV's and UTV's before we choose our Commander XT.
What made we liked was the smooth ride, huge difference between a ATV and a UTV. Power steering was another thing we ( I ) I wanted and back in 2015 there weren't to many ATV's with that and very few UTV's. I also wanted storage room, which all UTV's have more of than ATV. (NOTE: some of the Baja style UTV's have no storage room at all)
The most important thing I looked for was what my wife liked ( grin) she liked the ride of the UTV's and as things go narrowed down on what brand of UTV we would buy she liked the comfort of the Can Am.
I did have to buy a bigger trailer for the Commander to be hauled around on as my snowmobile trailer has to Lite of a suspension for the weight of the Commander, so you should also take that into consideration.
I recently sold my 5th Wheel to buy a camper so we could take our SXS with us. Because my camper sticks out 4ft past my bumper I also had to add a hitch extension ( Torklift super truss) so I could hook up the trailer. Which did t matter if I bought a ATV or a UTV I still needed the hitch extension.
What ever you choose, I hope you have a blast with it as my wife and I have on ours.
