long time on here decided to join to seek advice?

Hey everybody, I live in Texas just north of Houston and I am looking to purchase either a 1000XP or a 1000XPT in the next few weeks. I have never owned a side by side or UTV. My last ATV was a 2004 grizzly when 28" Outlaws were the biggest tire out. LOL

I have found Abernathys is way cheaper than anybody around my area when it comes to purchase. what i would like to know if someone from Texas has bought a RZR or UTV and been able to title in Texas? Is it just the 6.25% sales tax or some other fees from the state? How much of a PITA is this?

Also i see the 1000XPT has a completely improved drive line to the 1000XP. I will be mainly using this to run mud and trails. Is the XPT worth the extra 5000 dollars it cost when not running dunes?

Thanks for the help. Justin
