2022 canam defender limited vs Polaris ranger ultimate trail ride comparison video 2

[@DrDanTDC]

Thanks for these videos! I’m on the fence on my next machine.

[@americandream_89]

No problem buddy. I enjoyed testing both machines. I think that it really comes down to 2 factors. How you ride and do you want to modify your machine.

[@DrDanTDC]

@@americandream_89 I have a Maverick Sport XRC now. But I moved to Montana and I just don’t need that type of machine anymore.

[@americandream_89]

@@DrDanTDC I’ve never rode Montana what’s the terrain like? I truly think the Can-Am is a way better machine decides to VISCO lock. So if you need a machine for rock, climbing the Polaris has the one up, you can install a halo locker in the defender giving you the perfect machine. The defender interior is so much nicer. Which I’ve not seen much you can do to better the rangers.

[@bill_b8440]

What a fantastic comparison! Basically sold me on the defender as my next family rig. I apologize if I missed it in one of your other videos but does the cam am have a noticeably tighter turning radius? I remember seeing a video a few years back about how the defender has a turning radius setup similar to a tractor and it beat out the ranger by like 3 feet!

[@americandream_89]

Thanks buddy! Glad i could help out. On the ultimate it’s not as good for sure. But I didn’t really think about turning radius that much. So I can’t fit sure say the defender is better. The defender seems easier to steer.

[@gregmcmurray9593]

Great video! We ordered a 2023 Polaris Northstar Ultimate. Was built on February 28th and is supposed to ship today. We perfer the Polaris but there is nothing wrong with the Can Am. Just our personal preference. Good luck!

[@americandream_89]

Thanks buddy. We go back and forth and will continue to buy both to see which is better. Thanks for watching and congrats on the purchase!

[@ML-bf7vw]

Hope you have good luck with yours, my 2023 Northstar ultimate is in the shop again for the crankshaft seal and the transmission seal leaking. Sounds like replacing crankshaft seal the motor has to be split and Polaris fighting warranty covering it.

I have a 21 can am limited and love that machine drive it daily. Almost 3k miles on it

[@americandream_89]

That’s great to hear buddy. We haven’t ever had any trouble from our defenders. The most I’ve put on one is a little over 900 miles

[@davidbearden420]

thank you for your review. I have a 2016 Kawasaki mule pro DX eps and looking to up grade. I have 43,000 miles on mine and it is getting tired I use mine daily farming and looking hard at the Cam am defender hd10 limited

[@americandream_89]

Thanks for checking out the channel. 43000??? Man that’s got to be a record. Kawasaki should buy yours back just to display it. I try to display things like they are and keep biased thoughts out. All though we truly like the defender better.

[@eddyangueira4369]

Really great video. I'm leaning towards a 23 or 24 Defender.

[@americandream_89]

That would be my pick 24 for the win 🏆

[@domstarkey7279]

The canam where she filmed seem to not pick the front tire up as much even with the smaller tires could've been a little different line but seems like the can am flex better got a little more leverage on suspension being wider

[@ethanh9535]

What kind of gas does it use? Regular unleaded or premium? Thanks and great video. My favorite one of them all. Keep up the great work.

[@americandream_89]

Thanks! Both are able to run on 87 octane but we always run premium in ours.

[@ethanh9535]

Great thanks! I just ordered the same 2022 Can Am limited just like yours. The same color and everything. Your videos lead me to my decision, so thank you for that🙏✌️

@@ethanh9535 glad I could help buddy. We love our defender. They ride and drive great. Where do you ride?

[@ethanh9535]

@@americandream_89 I live in the country in Michigan. Plus I’d take it to Silver lake sand dunes too. I need to search for trails in Michigan to also take it on. I’m going to have my buddy who owns his own tint business tint my windows.

[@ethanh9535]

Does the 22 Can Am limited come with a street legal kit by chance? Thanks.

[@Flying_Reel_Estate]

What percent tint did you put on your can am? I am thinking 50% on the windshield and cant decide between 35 or 20% on the sides and back.

[@americandream_89]

The windows are tinted with Global QDPC ceramic tint. The side and back windows are 20% and the front window is 35%.

[@HITMAN934]

You started off at the creek bed putting lockers/4WD on both machines. Was it necessary? What you drove through looked good enough for 2WD in High Gear. But I’m use to driving a Arctic Cat 700 Quad in the woods. I ask because I want to move up to a 2 door defender limited for comfort but not if it can’t handle normal terrain without lockers or 4WD because it’ll never get in and out of places I go up here in Canada.

[@americandream_89]

Most of that trail can be in 2wd with the rear locked. Other wise both machines are one wheel drive. So I try my best not to spin so the trail stays nice. They go pretty well in 2wd rear locked.

[@lamy67hotmail]

Curious to see these two machines line up and do a zero to sixty.

[@copiercopier4600]

Torn between the two. Which one is your go to?

[@americandream_89]

Defender by a long shot. Basically the defender inside offers so much more comfort. That I don’t want to drive the Ranger because the seats are like a park bench.

[@saidgabrie6453]

Which has better A/C which has better cooling in the cabin in summer? Polaris or Can Am

[@americandream_89]

Between these two the defender worked better

[@launceherron]

The tint on the can am its the only reason it's cooler that the polaris. Tint I'd a huge factor

[@americandream_89]

@@launceherron we had two defenders one with and one without tint. Both defenders AC worked better in our units of the two rangers we had

[@GardenboyX1]

I have only had Polaris Rangers but from watching your videos I think the Canam looks much higher quality. I love Polaris but the doors and the design still look generic compared to the Canam. I think Ill get a 2023 Can-Am® Defender MAX Lone Star Cab HD10

[@americandream_89]

They are both great machines and each have some kind of pro over the other. But after having multiple units from both brands. Ride and drive along with cab comfort makes me choose the defender. The 23s are going to be slick. I’m pretty sure with the new forward a-arms they will clear 32s no lift. I should have mine before 23 so we shall see. Let me know if I can help with any questions

[@rossshier7635]

How do the AC’s compare between the two.

[@americandream_89]

American Dream • 1 month ago Between these two the defender is much better. The Polaris might be flawed but I have nothing to tell me that. Out of all the ones I’ve had the defenders seem colder.

[@attehellen2704]

Which one is quieter in the cabin the Ranger or the Defender?

[@americandream_89]

Defender

[@Moosecoaster]

Just traded our 21 ranger for 22 defender. With ranger I didn’t understand why people would want a stereo. Too noisy. With defender, I need to get a stereo. Less noise.

[@7506999]

I have noticed twice now, (2 different video's 2 different drivers) when the tires on the can am hit the wet rock, they loose their grip coming off that first incline into the creek. The tires on the ranger are grabbing, and never loose traction. It's the tires not the machine. But something to note. +1 to the 29's

[@americandream_89]

You are spot on. Tires mean everything for traction. I can’t do anything under a 29” on any machine. If you took a 27” to a true riding trail it would take more effort.

[@domstarkey7279]

It seemed the Polaris cluch break held back a little better

[@americandream_89]

I thought at some things each did better. My cousin preferred the defender break.

[@Easternandoutward]

As a person, that doesn’t know much about side by sides other than the videos, he watches on KZbin and I’ve only ever been in one that was a Polaris diesel I’m pretty sure it was a very comfortable ride it was not an enclosed but I will say this I’ve had a Yamaha 4 wheeler growing up and I’ve always wanted a side-by-side. And. This video has helped me. Definitely make a decision. Though I don’t have the money at the moment. It definitely has helped me on which one. I think the overall winner for me is the Polaris ranger. Though it’s not as luxurious. It seems to last longer and not have as many parts repair. I have known several people to have problems with Canam not that the products ain’t nice they are just more likely to break something. But Polaris is I think more reliable. And I think a little bit smaller and when you’re hunting and in small trails it makes all the difference I want everybody to be comfortable in what I get but at the same time I don’t want you out and spend 30+k lol 😂

[@americandream_89]

Polaris makes a great product. We have enjoyed using both machines. It’s all in preference of features. Both cost big money and both break. Thanks for watching and commenting.
