Customize your UTV for full functionality with the best UTV accessories. Enhance your storage, safety and more. From steering wheel covers to utility racks, here’s our list of must-have UTV accessories.

Safety Accessories

UTV Helmet

This must-have UTV accessory not only protects you in case of a crash but also keeps airborne debris off you. It will help protect your face in case of any overhanging or trailside branches.

Look for one that fits snugly on your head and has good ventilation. It should come with padding on the inside to protect against impact. In the US, all UTV helmets have to meet the ‘DOT’ safety standard. Check for DOT testing and certification while you’re considering your options.

Winch

You never know where your UTV adventures will take you, and a winch can help you prepare for any scenario. This is the best UTV accessory for when you’re stuck in a muddy patch or on an incline. A winch can help you tow yourself or another vehicle out of trouble.

Check the weight specifications on the winch to see how much weight it can pull. The more the weight limit, the more powerful the winch.

UTV Covers

Soft Cab Enclosure

The open build of a UTV is not suitable for all seasons. A soft cab enclosure helps with this, acting as a protective covering against rain, wind, and snow. This allows the interiors of your UTV to stay safe and dry in all weather.

Look for options that are compatible with the make of your UTV model. The enclosure should be easy to install and remove as needed. The material should be weather-resistant and offer good protection. Check the windows to make sure they are clear and UV-resistant.

UTV Seat Covers

Protect your underlying seat by opting for seat covers for your UTV. According to your UTV model, check what kind of seats you have, whether they are bench seats covers , bucket seats covers , or single seats. Then look for material resistant to wear and tear, such as heavy-duty polyester, neoprene, or vinyl.

The seat cover should be easy to wipe down and stain-resistant. Some seat covers come with extra padding for a comfortable ride.

UTV Storage Cover

You will need a UTV storage cover for when the UTV is not in use. The cover must suit the model of your UTV, so make sure to check the measurements beforehand. Look for durable and weather-proof material, such as heavy-duty polyester. Additional features, such as covers with UV resistance, can keep your UTV looking as good as new.

A secure fastening feature, such as elastic hems or straps, should keep the cover in place for long periods. 

UTV Steering Wheel Cover

A steering wheel cover is the best UTV accessory to enhance your grip and comfort while driving. Choose a material that suits your needs, such as rubber for a non-slip grip, or neoprene for comfort and water resistance. 

Check your steering wheel's diameter beforehand to ensure it's a good fit. Stretchable or slip-on designs will be easier to install and remove. 

Racks and Carriers

UTV Utility Rack

A utility rack is a must-have UTV accessory if you often transport bulky loads. It acts as an extension of the UTV’s cab frame. You can attach it to the railing of your UTV using simple hand tools.

Use it to transport heavy objects like kayaks or camping gear. Check for the loading capacity before you buy.

UTV Chainsaw Carrier

Safely transporting a chainsaw can be hard when driving your UTV. Mounting a chainsaw carrier solves this problem. It provides a safe and protective covering for your chainsaw so that you can focus on your drive.

UTV Bow Mount

A bow mount for your UTV can take care of all your archery needs. The mount should be adjustable to account for different bow sizes. Look for mounts made of strong durable material like steel or aluminium.

You can also get conversion kits to transform a gun mount into a bow mount, based on your needs.

What to Consider When Buying UTV Accessories

Before you set out to buy the best UTV accessories, here’s what you should check for.

Check for Your Model

All accessories will not be universal. They will cater to specific UTV models. Crosscheck the accessory you want to buy with the model that you have. The last thing you want is to get an accessory that does not fit your UTV.

Measure the Dimensions

Whether you’re getting a steering wheel cover or a storage cover, you need to make sure it's the right measurement for your needs. Note the necessary measurements down before you make your purchase. Read the product descriptions carefully to find the right one for your UTV.

Look for Weight Specifications

When looking for accessories like a winch or a utility rack, always check the weight specifications first. This will tell you the item's loading capacity, and help you pick the right one.

Keep Material in Mind

The best UTV accessories will be made of durable and weatherproof material. If you are buying racks, frames or mounts, look for strong, rust-free metals. If buying seat covers or steering wheel covers, look for polyester or neoprene.

Remember, not all UTV accessories will be easy to install. Check all the specifications beforehand and keep your installation manuals ready. This will make assembly easier for you post-purchase.
