Hi, I live in Phoenix & have tried to locate the Joyer USA dealership as I really want to buy a new T4.   The facility is vacant on 18th Place, the phone number goes to a voicemail box that is full.   Are these still being made?   Are they available anywhere else?  I have been looking for a nice 4-seat UTV and these seem cool, but would want to test drive before I commit as I have never seen these in person.  Not a big off road guy, just want something to drive around our lake property in Montana.  If anyone has a nice T4 for sale.....I am ready to buy!  Thanks for the help.

i think they are gone, their last EPA certification for the T4 was in 2016.

Here are 2020 Google Earth images of their 1650 E Riverview Dr. Ste 110 Phoenix, AZ 85034  location:

Per Import Genius their last shipment T4s from Asia was in February of 2007...JoynerUSA-HQ-03.thumb.jpg.d976743feb967334d23b587d210f0d50.jpg

 

It appears you may be able to order on from the manufacturer; CHANGZHOU JOYNER RECREATIONAL VEHICLES CO.,LTD. if you are really in to self-abuse...

Joyner appears to be yet another example of a relatively successful ATV dealer who had a delusion of grandeur and launched a corporation to brand and market some attractively priced (for them) import ATV/UTV (probably located on Alibaba) but lacked sufficient resources ro pull it off long term. According to various corporate  records (mostly D&B) I found the  Changzhou Joyner Recreational Vehicle Co. has 50 to 100 employees with annual revenues of $1, 000,00o to $2,600,000--hardly a manufacturing giant.

Hisun USA has revenues of $9.25 M, not Yamaha or Kawasaki class certainly, but a lot more staying power. Chongqing Huansong Industries (Group) Co., Ltd. (Hisun's parent company has 1000+ employees, 9 subsidiaries and makes 70% of their parts (probably better than Ford or GM).

I'd look elsewhere...

Thanks  for the info, was worried about that.  There is another address listed for 18th Place, but that location is vacant.  I see where I can order them online from other sites (like motobuys.com) where they will ship direct, but would want to buy in person from a dealership instead.   Love the look of these things, different & unique.  Not looking for major performance, just a fun UTV to take the family around the lake shore.  Can anyone tell me how quiet these are on the highway at 50-60 mph?  We have a 2 seat CanAm that sound like it’s about to explode at anything over 30mph, just so much transmission noise.  Was hoping the 5 speed setup would provide something smoother/quieter?    Again, if anyone has a 4 seater to sell I would be interested!

Love that Jeep, already had one.   Wonder why I ever sold it.......!   Just have to find the smoothest/quietest UTV out there I guess.  Love the looks of the Trooper as I have never seen one before, very unique.

Joyner hasn't been at the Riverview location for several years.  If you've done any research then most of what I'm saying here you may already know.  My ride has the same drive train as the Trooper.  They have high reving engines = about 1000 rpms per 10 miles per hr.  At 60 mph the engine will be running at 6000 rpms along with the noise at that level.   The engine is what is called an "over square" engine.  That is to say the bore diameter is larger than the length of the stoke.  They are designed for higher rpms.  These engines are relatively common in South America, parts of Africa and of course Asia.  I've never had my engine over 4000 rpms; I don't drive on high speed streets and highways.  Torque to the drive axles is increased via gearing through the transmission and differentials.   The 800cc version of this Chinese engine is used in the John Deere 825i and one model of the Kawasaki (Japanese) SxS.  Quite a surprise that a Japanese brand would use a Chinese engine.

I bought my ride from a Craigslist add in Whittman AZ.   If you buy a Joyner, expect to do most if not all of your own maintenance and repairs.  There are some parts available on Amazon but expect to order most parts directly from China with long lead times.  Some say Joyners are junk and they may be right on their machine if they actually own one.  I've never had any issues with mine >1700 miles.  Unless you find a dealer locally, I see travel plans in  your future to distant places to find a new Trooper.

Hi Dan, thanks for that info.  Love the idea of a 5-speed, was hoping for lower rpms/noise while on the highway though.  I read on a Joyner Facebook page that the main Joyner USA dealership is currently relocating to Mesa & is set to be reopened this month.  I sure hope so, really want to see one in person.   Also read that the Trooper T4 will have a new engine package, 1600?   Hopefully  they will have a solid service department at the new Mesa store.   I don't mind small fixes on my own, but it is nice taking the CanAm to the local dealership & never having to worry about parts being available.

I'd be really interested in their reopening.  I'll surely let you know as soon as I do.  Where did you hear about the relocation?  I want to track the progress of it.  But I think it will be the same owner.  This would be the 2nd move in about 5 years.  The former location on 18th Pl was up for sale (probably sold).  He couldn't afford the rent on Riverview which prompted his move to 18th Pl.

I like the 5-speed tranny.  The CVT is easier to drive; the 5-speed requires the driver to take a proactive role in managing power to the drive axles.  I like the granny gear (1st gear).

The last EPA certification for Joyner USA was in In 2019--they had a model TR1100-T4 made by the  Ruiqing Automotive Engine Technology Co. Ltd. with an engine made by the Beijing BAM Company Ltd. (they also appear to make vehicles and engines for Odes)--but their last shipment to the US was on 8/30/2015; so I would not hold my breath waiting for anything from them.

As far as my web reearch can determine  the Joyners are currently  running a real estate operation in Boca Raton, FL.

Rocket100, if you paid with a credit card I would dispute the charge ASAP...

Can you keep an ear open about Joyner re-opening.  They owe me a windshield that I bought and paid for 3 weeks ago and have not sent me.  Now they are ghosting me.

Thanks

 

I saw a FB comment that their new location will be at 1050 West Main in Mesa (Alma School & Main).  From FB comments it doesn't seem like they've completed their relocation yet.  It's 50 miles from me so I won't be making too many trips without knowing if they have what I need in stock.

FYI
I spoke with Joyner Thursday and they are open in Mesa, AZ.   Sounded like a 1 man crew and that they were building them to order.  I had a buyer for between 5-10 Renegades but was told right now they were not set up for large orders.   Said they had 1 R4 (that they were going to put a new engine in because the one in it now was not running right) and 5-6 R2s.

      Hello All...
           Just bought a 2014 Massimo 500 UTV.  It;s not running at the moment, but hopefully will soon.  I need a seat for it also (passenger side, if it makes any difference.)  It is a crank-but no start situation.  Just now starting to read the boards for solutions.  Apparently these models are well known for this issue.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks

      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!

      I have a Coleman HS400UTV-5 got it manly for hunting and spending time with the grandkids
      The one problem I am trying to avoid. My son borrowed it last summer and said it ran hot so he added water to it . I do not know how much he put in so I would like to drain most of it and add new coolant to protect it this winter. I can find no drain cock or any way of draining it besides loosening a hose.  Any suggestions ????

      I have a Coleman Outfitter 550 purchased in January 2022 that runs and operates pretty well.  65 hours on it so far.   It is a work vehicle for my 10 hilly acres with two 1 acre woods and 5 acres of "lawn".  The rest is under a lake. 
      My parking brake does not seem to have any grip.  It worked when new but after a month or so, it is just almost useless.     I press the parking brake pedal hard until it stops. Still, it won't hold even on slight inclines.   I don't see the caliper move as I press the brake pedal down.  There seems to be plenty of pad left on it and the rotor is shiny as if it is rubbing a little when applied, but not enough to stop it from rolling. 
      Any thoughts on possible causes?
