I keep hearing that the new XD 1500 is taller and wider. In comparison to what though? I admit when I saw it for the first time that it gives off a huge presence and stance. However, looking at the specs. Ranger XP 1000 Northstar--W x H (65" x 79.5"). Can-Am Defender Limited--W x H (65" x 81"). Ranger XD 1500--W x H (64" x 78"). The XD is an inch more narrow than both the other models and three inches shorter than the Can Am. I've never measured all three, but this is taken from the spec sheets. Thank you for the content. It was very helpful to me. Just got the two door Ranger XD 1500. I think I am going to love the over all length of the two door for maneuvering on tight trails.

The only problem with the polaris XD is the price point. When I can get a brand new zr2 for 8 to 10k more it just means we are way way out to lunch.

Uforce 1000! same payload and towing. With $15, 000 for fuel, accessories compared about every other one of those with the 4500 pound winch, roof included …. and much better color options

[thelifeofmatt]

Or you could buy a used Tacoma or something similar for way less money. We’re smoking crack on these bull shit prices

Just purchased our second Polaris this year. Had too have the XD 1500 . Awesome machine on the farm.

[Lets-do-this-]

Get a grip that is stupid money for a side-by-side

[dskofich]

I cannot believe the CF Moto Uforce 1000 was not on your list. The absolute best buy of ANT big bore UTV made!

[DuckbumSD]

You can damn near buy a new Tacoma for that $ 😂

[markwaltman]

As bad as I hate it the electrics are purty legit for hunting cause they’re so quiet…… but that’s about it tho haha

[stevethompson]

Wheres the cf moto u force in the list, $10K cheaper, fit and finish and styling better than most you listed with a standard 5 year warranty in Canada. How can you beat that???

I noticed that you didn’t include CF Moto, which I purchased I looked at Honda, Kawasaki, and in different units I went with CF Moto 1000 for the money I felt that was a very good product GF Moto has been around for a long time and they make a lot of motorcycles four wheelers and side-by-side. So far I’ve been quite pleased. It has a winch 3500 pound on the front also comes with a receiver front and rear so far so good you may want to look into, see if Moto product 9:50

I have a yamaha viking 2019 ...not a lot of power but so far its been very reliable...and the price is way under 20k...just wondering what do you think about the viking 700?

[billmiller]

Wow! Pricey that’s for sure. The prices are out of control on these things.

[corradettimotorsports]

Good Line up! Not sure which one I'd choose, so far I am happy with my ARGO Magnum XF 500, its low on power, but a great riding and handling machine! loving the content!

Genuine question why are these so popular for farms? For fun is a different story but for a farm a new one costs like 25-30k. For that you could buy a used single cab 1/4ton truck hell you could buy 2 of them and have both kitted out with mud tires. Each would at least last 100, 000kms where a side x side last like 25000kms. I must be missing something

I would have liked if you said all the information for all instead of picking and choosing. Say the price for all. I picked this video to make my decision on which one to buy for our construction company it would’ve made it easier if I didn’t have to keep on going back-and-forth with Google to what you’re saying to get the price when you could’ve just said it. Which I thought was The point of this video. Otherwise good knowledgeable video.

I just watched you top 6 SxS picks. I vacillated between Rmax and the Teryx and chose the RMAx4. I already had a '11 Teryx but wanted a trail machine. I am very happy with the Yamaha but there is certainly room for improvement in the Advewnture Pro and it needs an open rear axle. All that being said I was disappointed you guys didn't sing its praises.

[timdavison]

What are your thoughts on the new Kawasaki Ridge?

[rickyarmstrong]

I think because they are in great demand the price is to much I have a China made 200 cc crossfire I paid like 8500 I think should of been price at about 5 k mine is not 4 wheel drive and is air cooled engine no tow hitch

[michaelmiracle]

People are not interested in electric sxs unless you are a liberal majority of sxs buyers will stick with a gas engine way more reliable
