I live in the Yukon and need a 4 seater sxs for the family to go play in, there is no sand here so that doesn't need to factor into the make or model. I'll be doing trails along with going off the beaten path in the forest and the tundra. Lots of rocks up here also so i need to be able to climb those. Thanks for any and all input.
what 4 seater sxs for forest/rocks?

Teryx 4. Beefy frame, great torque, LOCKING 4wd system, more back seat room than the others.

The thing that worries me about the rzr are when u go to the 2015 900 section 95%of the threads are for shit that's wrong. Like the air filter gets crazy dusty and worried about dusty engines. Or axle breaking or bushings on a brand new ring squeeze like no tomorrow ect.. ect. .. I know all stuff has a issues but out the box their is stuff wrong for 252 isn't write. Or am I reading to much into it? How are the mavericks with the 60" wheel base?

Do you mean width? A 60" wheelbase is pretty short. The wheelbase on a base maverick is going to be around 80" and around $16,000. The commander xt-p has a 1000 engine, 75" wheelbase, a built in cargo box, push button start, selectable driving modes, big fuel tank, fox podium shocks, beadlock wheels,, nerf bars, a bumper, and winch. I think there are a lot of aftermarket accessories too. I don't really know much about the rzr 900 but it shares a lot in common with the xp 1000 so there will be a lot of aftermarket parts for what they have in common. The 900 xc is going to be $17,000 with more ground clearance and fox podium shocks, polaris interactive display, more clearance, longer wheelbase, less width, less horsepower. Since you're interested in rocks, @JoeyD23 just got back from moab in the utv underground 900 so he might be able to comment on it. It's really modified, and I think they're going to be using it mainly in the desert, though.

Teryx 2 or 4seater are you best bet. Super reliable.

The teryx is definitely going to be reliable. It's also really good bang for your buck. It's probably going to be your best option. http://www.utvunderground.com/new-2014-kawasaki-teryx-8224.html

Our 900 was awesome in Moab. It's no XP1000 or Teryx w/ LT but it worked awesome and for the price it's hard to not consider. It's comfortable and has plenty of power and torque. I would have liked to of had 30" tires vs. the 28" but I think the 28" tires is the right tire option for all around use. I highly recommend it!!

I have been in plenty of rocks and forest with 0 problems, knock on wood. I have rode with most all rigs RZR, Wild Cat, Teryx and Can-Am. My opinion, if you want to ride rocks stay away from the Can-Am. There are several rigs to choose from but to really know which one you would want you would have to try them all. I believe any one you choose will need some sort of up grade, weather taller tires, lift or wider wheel base. Me with 30"tires on my stock XP4 1000 there is not many places I cant go. If you are looking to spend less money, my opinion get the Teryx widen the wheel base and you will be good to go. I was able to follow JoeD and his crew last year at ROTR and was very surprised at how his Teryx handled.
Good luck with your decision.
