The UTV must have a manufacturer-published curb weight of 3,000 pounds maximum for optimal snow flotation and include a factory- or dealer-installed enclosed winter cab with hard doors, hard roof, windows, and tip-out windshield with wiper and defrost. Additional required equipment includes an installed 4,500-pound minimum capacity winch with rear receiver hitch for recovery, winch-compatible front bumper, underbody skid plate protection, factory-integrated GPS/navigation system, and operational rear camera.
