The term "off-road vehicle” describes any motorized vehicle that can travel across mud, snow, sand, and other challenging terrains. Side-by-sides have a more traditional steering wheel and get their name from the two seats that sit beside one another (although some have a single bench seat, and larger versions may also feature back seats). ATVs, on the other hand, have handlebars more like a motorcycle. Dune buggies are specific off-road vehicles with oversized tires built to traverse beaches or desert landscapes.
