Defender as an all day trail ride vehicle? Also top speed?

Hey guys,

I’m trying to figure out how well the Defender XT HD10 would do as a trail ride vehicle. A few times a year it’d go on an all day trail ride (Wisconsin and/or Upper Michigan public trails).

Has anyone taken an 8 hour ride with one before? If so, how’d it do? Comfortable? Fast enough?

I currently have two atvs and I’m debating about trading one in on a new Outlander or going with the Defender.

My family does have some land so I like the idea of having a UTV for work, but I’d also want to use it on the trail.

And no, I don’t want a Commander. I prefer the bench seating.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Oh and if anyone knows the top speed of an HD10 that’d be a bonus for sure. I want to make sure she’ll keep up (or at least not lag too far behind) 570’s Outlanders.
