I know nothing about ATVs, but want to buy a used 4x4/Utility ATV. Which are some of the better brands/models? I'm looking for something to plow the driveway with in the winter, and then still be able to use for trail riding, etc.

Again, not shit in our area for these types of quads. People know their long lasting
Looks abused but worth looking.

Lol "stored in heated garage"
also, fun thing about a 2000 foreman 400 for 1500 bucks
is it's always going to be worth, around 1500 bucks.
What is your price range? That will clarify things a lot.
That being said, everything said already is spot on. One small correction is the 2015+ Rubicon is the same bike as a Foreman except it has IRS. If you want a quad that requires gas and oil changes only and will live longer than you, buy a Honda. I prefer the Rubicon for the IRS. Carter is right, once you ride a straight axle, you'll want IRS.
Now if you want a cheap quad that will never die, I own a 2000 Foreman 400. The thing is a tank and I bought it for $1500. Might as well not have suspension though. ATV suspension has come a long way in the past decade or so.
The last option is if you're looking to get into the sport and will most likely be upgrading in the next 5 years. A Polaris Sportsman 570 is hard to beat for the cost and performance. That being said maintenance will most like be more and they have intermittent quirky issues most likely due to poorer build quality. You get what you pay more.
Probably under 4k. The Grizzly seems to be one of the best options. As I mentioned in the OP, I'll be plowing with it in the winter and doing some trail riding with it in the summer... I plan on buying some land in Michigan in the next couple years, so I wouldn't mind having something very off-road capable that can still carry a saw/etc through the woods.
