ATV Accessories

Getting your hands on a new ATV, quad or side-by-side is thrilling. When it's new, your machine is a blank slate. Personalizing your ATV with accessories, equipment and upgrades can allow you to get the most out of your new 4x4 and pursue the powersports you love.

Customizing your ATV from the dealer

Before purchasing a new machine from an ATV dealer, think about what customizations you'd like to make. While you can always add features later, it's often easier to customize right from the dealer. That way, when your ATV arrives, it's exactly what you're looking for. Popular manufacturers offer hundreds of customization options.1 If you finance your ATV purchase with a Synchrony installment loan, you may be able to roll the accessories into the loan for one convenient monthly payment.*

Working with a reputable dealer can help make the customizing process less overwhelming. When you’re considering customization options from the dealer, ask yourself these questions:

  • What will the primary use of the ATV be? If you’re working on a farm, choose a winch, hitch or trailer that can help with towing and hauling. For rock crawling and exploring muddy trails, upgrade to a locking differential. Rough terrain demands bumpers and upgraded tires.
  • Who's riding? For family days out, you’ll want to upgrade available seating. If you want to take rides by yourself or you plan to race, opt for a lighter one-seat ATV.
  • What do you need to carry? ATV and UTV accessories like cargo beds, enclosed cargo holds and roof racks are great if you can't travel light.
  • When will you use it? If you'll be riding in cold or wet weather, consider aftermarket upgrades like windshields, a roof or a fully enclosed cab.

DIY ATV upgrades

Before you start using your ATV, consider features you'd like to add to enhance the experience. Maybe you’ll need someplace to store your hunting equipment, you’ll want to hear your music over the roar of the engine, or you’re craving a bit more power. Here are some common ATV upgrades that you may be able to roll into your ATV financing at the time of vehicle purchase.*

ATV accessories

Customizing your ATV can give your machine the appearance and performance you want, plus ATV accessories can make your ride safer and more enjoyable. When it comes to 4x4 accessories, the possibilities are endless, but the price can add up fast. Financing your ATV and accessories with one loan helps you get what you need right out of the gate with convenient monthly payments.*

ATV safety equipment

Whether you're a new rider or an experienced one, ATV safety should be at the forefront of your mind. Investing in high-quality and comfortable protective equipment makes you more likely to wear the items that keep you safe. As you become a better rider and take on more risks—like racing or jumping—upgrade your safety equipment to ensure its offering enough protection. Here's what all riders need:5

Item Description Estimated Cost
