New Massimo T-Boss 550 EFI Review and test ride!

Full review of the new Massimo T-Boss 550. This unit us a lot nicer than expected with a bunch a little extras. The remote control winch was particularly useful, as well as the drop down center console and mesh door.

[@D33PZ3R0]

Looks like a Polaris General to me, I just ordered one from Massimo hope it holds up ok.. UTV market is ridiculous right now unless u have $16k to drop.

[@Synic08]

Need one of these blended with the hisun sector… be a good looking machine…

[@Texaca]

....could something like this be towed behind another vehicle, flat footed, if it was wired with accessory lights and wiring, like a trailer 🤔 I'm just curious to see, if it would be possible to tow one, if a front mounted tow bar was installed on it. I mean, it's just another vehicle, I don't see there being any obstacles if it couldn't be done, if it was set up for it properly. I just saw one of these, at my local Atwoods Ranch and Home store, here in Tyler TX.

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

If you were going short distance and not very fast yes. Otherwise the tires and bearings aren't really rated for that speed and distance.

[@user-ou9mn8pj5c]

Does this UTV have enough power to go up rocky mountains at a 140 degree angle with two adults?

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

In low range you would be fine at 45 degrees, anymore I would worried about a rollover

What was the MSRP on this rig?

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

I think they are about $7999, but I would check them out online or find a dealer.

[@meseahunt]

do y'all still have the machine? if so did it hold up or too many issues??

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

It was at the dealship I worked at. They are basically a Chinese copy. They are ok, priced lower for a reason....

[@quaddave546]

What is the maximum speed of this model? Thanks!

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

I've got it to 53mph before I ran out of road. Might go a little faster but not much more.

[@aaronrapp400]

Do not buy anything from Massimo! I have a 2014 1100 crew cab and need a part. Massimo says sorry parts are not available! Buyer beware! Buy name brand!!!!

[@Redmow51]

@@aaronrapp400 Crap! Looking for affordability and thought I found it. Unless things have changed.

[@aaronrapp400]

Barry Maynard they have recently went with Lenhi. Which is supposed to be related to Yamaha. I have heard good things about them The biggest thing is can you get parts for years to come. They say you can. It has taken me a long time to finally get my parr which is being shipped from China. We will see if it fixes the problem. Good luck!

Does this unit fit in the bed of a pickup truck?

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

If you have 3500 dual axle diesel maybe, but probably only will fit on a trailer

[@user-ou9mn8pj5c]

Ah ok thanks!

[@72chitwood]

@@lordofbiscuits1911 What would the fact that a Truck is a 3500 have to do with it fitting? Do they have a bigger bed than a 2500 Long Bed or a 3500 Single Rear Wheel (By the way they don't make a Dual Axle 3500 it is a Dual Rear Wheel). All 8ft beds have basically the same interior bed space, some brands may differ slightly!

[@gregburke0073]

LOW is used below 8mph. What is the top speed?

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

I think it's in the 40mphs

[@user-ou9mn8pj5c]

I’m confused...is that a Linhai or a Massimo? Nice video btw!

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

Sorry it is a little confusing. Massimo bought linhai, so has both labels on the unit. But when it comes to it, it's a massimo

[@user-ou9mn8pj5c]

ok thank you for the clarification

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

@Jack Szumigala they were bought out by massimo. All under them now

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

@Jack Szumigala so we sold a bunch of them and for the price they are pretty good. They come pretty accessorized from the factory. Only bad thing is lack of aftermarket addons for them. Have to use mainly universal stuff.

[@njm5991]

It's a Hisun

[@mattssonfelix3882]

It is gas powered right? Not diesel?

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

Yes, runs on regular gas

[@Lucas_Terry]

who happens to service these?

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

Depends on where you live. You can go online to Massimo or hisun and use their dealer locator

[@aaronrapp400]

They are throw away! I have one now and cannot get parts for it. No one has been able to help me! Spend more and get name brand!!

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

@@aaronrapp400 Any dealers in your area? Parts come out of DFW area in Texas

[@aaronrapp400]

All Things Automotive I called several dealers and they discontinued my unit and no parts available. I called Massimo and my unit is 2014 the crew 1100cc. They cannot help me. All I need is a camshaft position sensor and cannot find one anywhere in USA. Massimo told me to call Hisun and I did. Hisun says call Massimo. I would not sell these. Customers will be pissed eventually!!

@@aaronrapp400 Call Robison Outdoor Power were I use to work, they are a dealer for both brands and can help you out. Its 936-305-5166. I think they are closed this weekend for the holiday, but open monday and can ship you the parts

[@TimYorty]

parts availability on Massimo or subsidiary company products is iffy to non-existant at best. Other reviews online report high break-down rates and terrible customer service. Stick with a better known brand-name, although regardless of manuf., the dealer makes all the difference if you need help in the future.

[@lordofbiscuits1911]

I agree, the dealership I worked for tried to help our customers out best we could, but sometimes parts were hard to get straight from the manufacturer that was only hours away

[@MetallicA29]

Does Massimo make a trail/ sport SxS?
