• Seating for six

• Competitive work capacity

• Insanely good value for the money

Big work, small price.

CFMoto knows what they’re doing with the 2025 UForce 1000 XL. The marketing tagline for this roomy utility rig reads “Everything supersized but the price” and that’s about as straight to the point as you could ask for.

Seating for six? Check. V-twin power? Check. Serious work capacity? You get the idea. In essence, you’re getting a Can-Am Defender Max for about $6,000 less, and that includes the same 12-month factory warranty.

It tows, it hauls, it’s got a dump bed, and yes, it can be ordered with a full cab. All together, the CFMoto UForce 1000 XL is built to compete with the big boys on every level with enough scratch left over to pile on all the factory accessories your heart desires.

How much power does it make?

CFMoto claims the UForce 1000 XL’s 963cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine is good for 71 horsepower and 54 lb-ft of torque. That’s six ponies more than the latest Rotax HD9 V-twin, and about 5 lb-ft less. In other words, it’s powerful enough to be fully competitive with anything else in the class.

That power is routed through CFMoto’s CVTech CVT transmission, which offers both high and low ratios as well as selectable two- and four-wheel drive. The latter includes a switchable locking front diff, so the 1000XL has both the grunt and the means to handle all manner of work around the farm or out on the trail.

What makes it special?

As is the case with most CFMoto rigs, value for your money is the single greatest standout feature of the 2025 UForce 1000XL. We’re talking seating for six and V-twin power for less than a two-door, single-cylinder Defender XT.

The same goes for the 1000 XL’s working specs which, by design, go toe-to-toe with its competitors. You can haul 1,000 pounds of whatever you want in this rig’s gas-assisted dump bed, and its rated to tow a full 2,500 pounds from its standard 2-inch hitch receiver.

You also get a decent amount of factory equipment for the money here. A 4,500-pound winch with synthetic rope is standard on the CFMoto UForce 1000 XL, as is a full poly roof, aluminum alloy wheels, and 27-inch tires.

Why do I want it?

You want a capable utility rig, but you don’t want to spend a small fortune to get it. The CFMoto UForce 1000 XL does blue collar work at a price blue collar workers can actually afford, and it looks pretty good doing it, too.

The 1000 XL’s value extends into its factory accessory catalog, which includes everything from steel bumpers to a full cab with power windows for a lot less than the other big players. You can order this rig with a full enclosure for just over $22,000, which is about $8,000 less than you’d spend on a competitor’s rig.

Why don’t I want it?

For most folks, this answer is simple. For one reason or another, you’re just not comfortable buying a utility rig that’s built in China. The value, the style, and the capacity is all there, but because CFMoto’s long-term reliability and dealer support are still something of an unknown, you’re not ready to take that leap.

We’ll also note that for folks who want to build their rig up into something truly special, there are a lot less options out there (both from the factory and the aftermarket) to upgrade CFMoto’s machines. As an honest worker, the UForce 1000 XL seems tough to fault, but if you want a lifted beast with a sealed cab, factory HVAC, and long-travel suspension, a CFMoto isn’t a great place to start.

What trim do I want?

This one is easy, as the 2025 CFMoto UForce 1000 XL only comes in a single trim level. Technically you can “upgrade” to a full camo paintjob for an extra $450, but mechanically all 1000 XL machines are identical.

If I like this… what else should I look at?

If you’re open to buying Chinese but don’t need this much rig, CFMoto makes an attractive mid-size alternative in the UForce 800 XL. Sticking with more established brands, Can-Am’s Defender lineup has about as proven a track record as any, as does Polaris’ extensive line of Ranger utility rigs.
