I am loving mine. The only problem I have with it. I’m scared to scratch it. Good thing I still have my Honda 1000-5 for the trails. 27k miles on the Honda so not sure how many more trails it’s got left. I am thinking of getting a wrap ( if I can find one ) for my shinny gray plastics on the 1500 oh and I have not seen anyone bring up the fact that one of the designers was a “Spinal Tap” fan. The radio goes to 11. Just saying that alone is enough for me.

Ive got mine on order! If I had one nit pick about the design, it would be that they really should have given that 1500 lb bed the right internal dimensions to fork load a pallet. They kinda dropped the ball on that one, because it is REALLY close.

I am looking to upgrade to one of these next year possibly. I went with a Kawasaki Mule Pro FXR1000 last year. The Mule is proven and follows the KISS method, the 1000 has plenty of pep and at $16k out the door for a machine with doors and a steel bed fit my needs for the farm. The 3yr factory warranty is nice, but I have only used a warranty a handful of times in 30 years of cars and toys...

Great video. As my thoughts are swinging towards the 1500 xp. The thing I will say is get rid of the dealers and there will be a great start for the savings of money. Basically in a nutshell that's the reason I haven't gotten one yet. But the machine looks very capable, and driving one was far advanced as to what polaris used to turn out.

As they say, you get what you pay for. People will wince at that price but look at what you get. Plus if the build quality is as good as you say, can’t put a price on that. Great video

Polaris is good. Not Honda reliable but still good. Little things usually go wrong on the rangers I’ve had like wheels bearing, front drive shaft u joints and had the front end start popping. Took 400hrs of farm work to do that. If you take care of it it’ll last though

And also comes in at around the same price as a Toyota Tacoma

[richardjohnson]

Let me tell you why your right. You get what u pay for. 1500# bed capacity, 3500# towing over rough terrain. Superior heavy duty build, super nice quality interior, ultimately quiet. Just ordered mine.

Make it 64” I will buy that sucker for trail riding. Just because I want the transmission. Cvt needs to be updated. High rpms running cvt gets old

[peytonhorn]

I prefer my pioneer 1000 but I know people with this rig and they love it and have nothing bad to say about it

[chuckyrios]

I want to buy a side by side but i dont know what to get im 7'2 415 pounds and i dont know what will fit me can you help me

[RJ-wycx]

Yeah it's the best cuz it's a Polaris hands down

[xanawolf]

Lol😂 are you CRAZY? Insanity. That kind of money gets you a new Frontier.

[musketbal]

I always thought Jesus was the only perfect man on Earth. I guess we found a UTV fit for Him.

[forestbrooks]

For only $55k plus tax here in Canada 🇨🇦

[williamrgordonjr]

You are insane it cost more to build a full-size pick up that cost that much then that little thing. It might be worth 35, 000 and that’s the one at the top. My opinion thank you

[powderriver]

A guy can do way more with a pickup, SxS's have a place certainly, but spending what Polaris is asking is utterly ridiculous I wish more people understood economics then they would definitely have more money in the bank.

[solomonkane]

Make a 6x6 like the Defender... Then we'll talk.

[larryswerdloff]

he says everything is the best. Typical butt smooching mag writer. He did a really bad review on the kawasaki ridge limited.

[benmayhew]

Polaris strike one. F-150 strike two. 🙄
