Which one is most appropraite for my use?

Hello everyone. Which side by side 4x4 is best for MY USE? We are meteorite hunters and we are wanting to purchase a new side by side. RELIABILITY is paramount! A large cargo capacity is next, not necessarily heavy, just lots of gear. Smooth ride, easy to drive and good power. We won't be racing this, but it will need good torque. A lot of the driving will be at lower speeds across dry lake beds and open fields, so something that runs COOL is a big plus. Our "colors" are yellow and black, so that is also a factor, it would be nice to have one in that color scheme so painting isn't needed.

So, what's the consensus? Which do you think would be the best choice for our use? Not just name brand, but also the specific model too.
Thanks in advance!

Ranger HD or the Ranger 6x6 for the bigger box. Now that Polaris has partnered with Bobcat, they now offer a Ranger diesel version as well that might be up your alley. The rhino will work as well but it does not have the pulling power or box capacity as the other two. Also the Rangers come with a two inch box so you could haul the trailer that brought your Ranger there with in the first place for even more equipment capacity.....

Cam Am would match the color scheme, but I would go with the Ranger as Dale suggests as it would have more capacity and proven reliability.

Paint color Is nothing that a good job with a rattle can cant fix . But then again the bobcat version of the polaris is white and black ...

I wouldn't choose a SxS on color (although I think my wife did :? ) Maybe someone makes new plastics in custom colors also, Maier doesn't.
