I am torn and not sure what model to get. 80% hunting and 20% riding trails. I like the benefits of going either way. Either way it will be the 1000cc model.

let me also say that most of the time it will be 4 people. with a high rack seat in the back.

I'd go with a 4 seater

Your 2nd post should be your deciding factor....4 seater

Four.

A 4 seater is the direction I am leaning. I am going to put a pan-tilt thermal camera with a couple marine grade screens for the thermal camera. its going to be a hog/coyote killing machine!

It really depends. Think about where you will be at and who will be with you. Both provide a function but if you're not using the back seat often enough it may not be necessary. The standard will not high center as easily as the crew will. Not saying the crew high centers often. Just a fact of the longer wheel base. The crew tends to bend and flex more as well. I have the standard with a high rack. Seating for five. I have two friends with the crew. They love theirs as well but they do flex and bend significantly more than mine. Much higher cost associated with the crew when it comes to adding items.
The crew will be great if you are running more than three people. If not there isn't much reason for it unless you just need extra room.



Update....based on your second post which my slow self did not read....the crew would be the best bet for you!

You answered your on question sounds like. Resale or trade value is much better on the crew.
