San Antonio, Texas (July 26th, 2016) – The need for comfort and room while roaming the backwoods and ranch roads is something I appreciate more and more as I get older. I’ve spent many days bouncing up and down in many of vehicles over the years and one thing I can say, you learn to appreciate a smooth comfortable ride when spending a day in the field. You also learn to appreciate being able to carry a lot of gear and having ample space for everyone that wants to tag along. The Yamaha Viking Ranch Edition has proven to me over the past year to be, not only comfortable but, durable.

I’ve used the vehicle now on rainy days, hot days, cold days and everything in between. I’ve hauled hunters, cameras crews and buddies around while mixing in work days with playtime. Personally, I almost feel like the Viking Ranch edition was built for me and my needs. I can haul deer, gear and more over rugged conditions and know the ride isn’t going to knock my teeth out and that I’m going to get there and back.

Some of the great features of the Yamaha Viking Ranch Edition:

Both front and rear center seats are offset, as are the middle headrests, allowing for unmatched middle passenger comfort and convenience. All passengers have a 3-point seatbelt for riding comfort. Front and rear passengers also have the convenience of an integrated handhold with hand-cushions that enhance comfort.
