2020 Polaris RZR Pro XP 4 Review and Ride

After the thrashing that we gave the General we figured another vehicle would not show up but boy were we wrong. Polaris RZR sent us this 2020 Polaris RZR Pro XP 4 seater for a Review and Ride session at our local Stony Lonesome OHV Park. We promise to give you an unbiased review of this machine and to really test it out how you all would! At first glance you can tell that the 2020 Pro XP 4 is different than any other UTV in the lineup. I'll give you the clift notes, More Storage than ever before thanks to flat folding rear seats and 8" more wheelbase. One piece frame that makes this Pro XP RZR handle like it is on rails. 13 more Horsepower upping it from 168 to 181 out of the same 925cc engine. Beefier suspension components, axles, and better cooling to the belt make this a great machine if you like to haul a lot of people or gear while Going FAST! This a 2020 Polaris RZR Pro XP 4 Premium review so it did not come with dynamix shocks, radio, or center display but we will put it to the test just the same. After a day of thrashing on this Polaris Pro XP 4 we Love how fast, agile, and capable it is but have concerns over how high the low range gearing is. We would throw some 32s and beadlocks on it immediately and couple that with some lower gears in the trans. Build a cage and bumpers for it then roll out with 3 friends screaming and laughing all the way. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments.

This ain't no TFL off-road this is a real review son

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I try to do my best to give some real world information.

[@paulwuzhere]

Of all the reviews I watched, this one is the most fair and unbiased I've ever seen.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

That is the Goal! I get tired of the over sponsored reviews. This is real world unbiased opinion. Plus we thrash these machines to see what they can really do.

[@themuzakman2416]

I'm impressed with the ride...& the front seats? Outstanding! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎯🎯🇺🇸

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I was surprised how nice the seats were for sure.

[@jonaqua8850]

Awesome sxs video and review. Probably the best I’ve seen on KZbin well done 👍🏼

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Wow, thanks!

[@turbozzz4376]

Damn guys. Great job with the review. Putting it through the gears and showing what it is capable of.

[@turbozzz4376]

Remind me not to let you load my RZR. lol

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Keith thanks we did our best. Hey if it can’t load on the trailer without ramps it’s not worth owning 😁

[@wat3rdog25]

Nice! I'm 6'4" tall and I love that someone made a machine for tall folks to fit. My teenagers are just as tall. Polaris you have my attention.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I am 6-2 and fit in this machine nicely

[@wat3rdog25]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo yeah man I caught that part. I really appreciate that you noted that and climbed in the back seat so that I can see how my tall teens would fit. Great review video. Thanks

[@obrien0769]

Awesome review. I love all the footage y’all shot and it was very well tested. I was sketched out in between the two trees and it was very entertaining. I was extremely happy to see how the pro xp4 did where I plan on riding !

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Glad you dig the review! It hasn't gotten the views we would like to see but we will blame that on it being a 2020 and the 2021s just came out. We will continue to do these types of reviews on many more machines though so stay tuned for more.

[@obrien0769]

Busted Knuckle Films keep doing reviews like this and I believe you will get the views your looking for in time. Most reviewers on youtube just showcase the cars and there not very informative.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Josh Obrien thanks that is our goal to inform and entertain 👊

[@jcapen1]

Great review!! I'm going to order a two seater this May..After tons of research it looks like the right machine for me. I ride Northern California mountain trails and Oregon coast dunes. I will for sure branch out to some other terrain.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Good choice!

[@jasoncrocker4289]

Great review! Best test/review I've seen on the pro with lots of various terrain and honest commentary. Loved it. Sounded pretty clunky and squeaky, I assume the clunking was the wheel bearings?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah pretty sure it was the wheel bearings, they went back to steel knuckles to fix this in the 2021s

[@RMC2021]

Great no BS review!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Glad you liked it!

[@lasvegasvasquez]

You waited long enough for this video but the outcome is great best video you really put this machine through the test I think it would be better if you would detailed the pros and cons VS the Turbo S Little More great job bud look forward to see the next one

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Glad you liked it! we will continue to improve upon them

[@bobbyenglish2075]

Keep up the good work I hope y’all stay safe out there

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thank you! Will do!

[@bobbyenglish2075]

I do some of that at Gregor Lake

[@bobbyenglish2075]

You’re welcome big shout out from Kentucky

[@GoatOffroad]

Great review Matt ! Are you going to be able to keep it for awhile and do some mods to it? ❤️🐞

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

We get to keep it for 3 months, I have a set of 32s and beadlocks I am about to bolt onto it, maybe even some paddles and go play in the dunes.

[@AKAOmnivore]

If that doesnt create some sales nothing will. Nice review!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks! We test them all the same way.

[@jennyburk976]

wheel bearings, axles, tune, stm clutches, shock therapy springs and go !

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

wheel bearings? Are they bad in these?

[@smarthunter3478]

Got the 2020 rzr pro xp 4 in cruiser black, back in august, and I love it man! I’m about to slap on some 32s and a 3” lift and I think I’ll be good to go!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

why a lift? they will fit 32s.

[@smarthunter3478]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo for the ground clearance, I’ve gotten stuck in some ruts due to setting on my frame. The combo of 32s and the 3” lift will majorly help

[@michaeltillotson7044]

Thank BKF for the review! I am in the market for a 2021 Ultimate 4-seater. I'll be doing some mild with the family and some wild with the fellas. It was nice to see a complete all encompassing test of the capabilities of the ProXP-4. I'm more on-board then ever and can't wait to purchase our new SxS. Also thanks to Polaris for giving a used machine to these guys to test. Not only did they do your machine justice it proves Polaris makes a GREAT product!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Michael Tillotson the 2021 models solve a lot of the issues I talk about besides the low gear.

[@michaeltillotson7044]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo so if I go to 32s I'll have to do some clutch work? Like a kit or possibly new primary and maybe secondary??

[@SXSGuys]

Not afraid to send it! #Respect

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

We had to make sure that it was up to our standards.

[@GrimRZR]

Did it seem like it steers sharper than a standard turbo 4 seater? Would you rather have one of these over your 4 seater if it had portals? Awesome review.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Grim RZR if it was built the same as my 4 seater yeah I would take this one for sure.

[@rodrigorojas7169]

Saludos desde Chile amigos....

[@jonathanruiz1543]

Someday.. I’ll buy one

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I am leaning toward a Turbo S next, probably a 2 seater.

[@RDA8191]

Man, I'm sold. I'm getting one of these

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Get one and long travel it, that is what I have now and it is awesome

[@RDA8191]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo Yeah this is making me also consider the new Turbo R, but it sounds like you really want to go with the ultimate trim, because of the Fox live valve. Turbo R 4 Ultimate is pushing 40k. So Im in this position where I kinda need to decide between 72" in a premium trim or Pro XP 4 Ultimate, because Id really like to stay under 40k. Do you have any thoughts?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

the live valve/dynamix shock package is awesome, but getting a pro shock tune might be good enough for less money. That is the route I am going.

[@jeffreyallen3796]

Damn missed live but here

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Better late than never. We let this one go a bit early today to see how it does.

[@kennethcarroll4994]

Nice review, we ride slow casual mountain trails in Va and West Va. Would that turbo machine be overkill or does the pro's of the pro model outweigh the pro's of the non turbo xp 1000 4 seater we are considering ? I would get a pro xp sport but I could add whatever accessories i want and still have a more capable chassis. Thanks for any insights.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Might be overkill for some casual mountain trails

[@jeffboyd5412]

Going up Baldy!!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Mt baldy is a good testing hill for us in these machines.

[@mikebritton2084]

Watching in cab footage I can see why people are complaining of the rattles. That glove box lid center console is about to come unhinged. By the way, order my first SxS, 2021 RZR Ultimate

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

They take a lot of abuse

[@rickperry2475]

Click 6 seat belts have a recall on them. The stiching is completely coming undone. So if your running them in your car take them back to polaris.

the Pro XP ones?

need to have more clearance in the back. on my pro xp4 with 2 girls in the back my friend in the front going 35 miles it was hitting the bottom back. and i got 32 tires

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

get some new springs for it.

[@josephfoster30]

I just bought a Polaris Rzr xp 4 1000 non turbo...do you think I’ll be disappointed?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

nah they are fun too

[@justicebdone7]

Were you in 4x4 during the fast flat sections where u were hauling or just 2x

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

both

[@RZR0311]

Do you think it’s possible to get the same ground clearance as the Turbo S ? If so how was thinking of getting one

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Different springs and some 32s and it would be close. I'll be putting 32s and beadlocks on this test unit to see how it does so stay tuned.

[@travisfeld97]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo Did you ever put 32 inch tires on it? I am curious how it handled the extra weight on the clutch. Not sure what brand tires to get in the desert but I know I want more ground clearance.

[@alexbell9196]

whats the clicking and clacking sound as you were crawling over the rocks? suspension or is it something else? didnt sound reassuring lol

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

on the first year Pro XP's the bearing carriers got sloppy because they were aluminum.

[@donpayne562]

Hey Matt you haven’t quit filming the bouncers have you?hope not you’ve spoiled me.

sounds like the right front sway bar link to me

Sounds like a borken CV joint on the rock crawl portion?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

no broken CVs here

[@bruteforceteevee]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo Strange, sure was a lot of clunking and clicking. If not a CV, a blown out A arm bushing. Seemed to be coming from the front right.

Is the driver seat adjustable for shorter drivers?

it sure is

[@chefdan87]

This high performance utv niche of the offroading market has never really interested me. They are too long, not enough ground clearance and i have seen way too many videos of them breaking suspensions. I would rather have the slow utility cousin to these. The smaller single seat models are kind of cool but i would always prefer to ride a regular old 4x4 atv. Good review but these big four seaters are just not for me.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]
