I've had all different kinds - just modified regular carts, bad boy buggies, 4wd, 2wd, 36v, 48v etc. Currently have a Beast 2wd 48v. I don't like the 4wd b/c it just means another motor on the front axle to have problems with. If you have a lot of muddy areas, maybe the 4wd is worth it. Mine has a winch and I can only think of 1 time in the last few years where I got stuck and had to use the winch and I was somewhere I shouldn't have been. The Beast I have currently has been the best cart I've owned. My opinion is a 2wd 48v with a lift and tires is all that's needed regardless of if it's a branded unit or just a modified golf cart - pretty everything else you might want on there can be added on as an accessory - so just find the best deal you can on a cart in good shape. If you are handy, then just find a 48v cart, order a Jakes lift kit and wheels/tires and a folding back seat and a few cans of spray paint and you will have all that you will ever need.
