Wow, I live rural Ontario and I've never seen a gator type thing on the road here. I see ATVs go on the roads briefly to go from one trail to another but that's it.
My dad has a Gator on his property and it's pretty meh. He complains about it a lot.
If they had a three point hitch and a PTO like a tractor I'd find them more compelling.
In the mid-south US, those Kei trucks circulate at around $5k right now for "beater" bottom priced ones. $10k would be a decent price for one with "no known issues at the moment".
The "gator / golf cart" things from Polaris, Kubota, etc; jumped up 4 wheeler things, are nibbling at the bottom of that niche too; without ever really getting into a satisfactory fulfillment of it. Them things are the bane of the roads around here, people just assume its ok to tool around the highway with the dogs and kids piled on.
