If it is licensed and plated in one state, do others out west accept that?
No, they don't. Even though it is licensed and plated, it is not a motor vehicle. It is a UTV. It is not subject to Federal safety and environmental regulations that govern automobiles. The title will show it as a UTV. I believe that some states title them as a motorcycle. It will have a sticker somewhere on it that states that it is an off road vehicle.
Here is Colorado we have several counties that allow UTVs on public roads. I my county, Chaffee, only a few roads are open. It is a state by state option with some states allowing it to be under county or municipal jurisdiction.
If you live in a state such as Colorado which will not allow you to plate a UTV, you will have to find a way to title and plate it in a state that does. Many snowbirds title and plate their UTVs in Arizona. My Polaris RZR is titled and plated in Montana. The plate is lifetime and cost $200. I have two registrations. One is on road and the other off road.
