NEW Polaris Ranger 1500 Review & Test Drive! Is $50,000 Too Much?

[@nrfa6229]

So let me see if I understand this right. Chad breaks his back, has a go fund me page to help pay for medical bills. Comes back earlier than his doctor told him too and gets a brand new $50,000 rig? How does that work?? Sounds interesting to me. Anyone else? Looks like his back is fine in this video. Here’s a guy who technically owns two businesses and needs a go fund me page for help paying his medical bills. I’ve had over 20 surgeries and I’m an amputee and didn’t scam people with a go fund me page. He’s already talking about an expensive suspension upgrade! All of you who donated to his page just bought him this rig. Thats messed up. What an incredible turn around from needing money to help pay his medical bills, to getting this rig all in a few months. WOW.

[@ChrisH-fs4uc]

@@nrfa6229 o damn 🤔you are making pure sense

[@nrfa6229]

@@ChrisH-fs4ucJust think about it. Everyone who actually donated to his go fund me page, should launch a major lawsuit against Chad and Dirt Dudes for being apart of it. I was a DD fan but not after this. Totally scammed everyone.

[@dirtdudes]

Chad didn’t start the Go Fund Me and definitely didn’t bring in some crazy amount of money. Just cause he owns businesses doesn’t mean he’s loaded 💰 Also he got a loan from the bank, like anyone can do. Got rid of his Pro XP and had no rig. You want him to not enjoy his hobby anymore. You sound like a conspiracy theorist with too much time on your hands

[@nrfa6229]

A conspiracy theorist. LOL. You have to make money in order to get a loan for that amount, especially in this day and age. Doesn’t mean that he isn’t either. Myself and others don’t have to watch your channel or buy your gear with the little bit of time we do have. Which is how you get paid. So everyone who watches dd has too much time on their hands? Interesting. 🤔

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

Yeah, it seems a little fishy to me, and conspiracy theorists usually turn out to be true.

[@4wd35]

I’m not paying 50k for a SxS, but that’s me. You do what you want to. It’s your money.

[@nrfa6229]

@@4wd35 actually it’s not there money. They scammed fans.

[@nrfa6229]

Exactly! That’s why Chad acted the way he did about spending $50k and laughed about claiming he knows nothing about the sxs when asked certain things about it. Like he has the money to just throw away bc he personally didn’t pay for it!

That doesn’t even come with side mirrors at that🤨

Had one at work for a while. Whisper quiet down the highway on 32 bfg’s. The rear headrests will pull out and install in the front seats. Makes the front seats a little better.

[@joshlopez8581]

I have a 2024 Ranger 1500 and absolutely love it! It has been an amazing hunting rig, and has been great at plowing snow! There are some Facebook groups that show the ride command being added. A couple guys got one from eBay for $500

[@Daxedwards64]

Thank you someone who knows that it’s good

[@disgruntledconservativevet1798]

There is no way any of these vehicles are worth $50 grand. I wouldn’t pay that much for a new vehicle I can drive on the road. These manufacturers have lost their dam minds.

[@juicechartier]

I was super impressive with how smooth the ride is on the 1500. I have a Ranger xp1000 with elka shocks and the factory 1500 blows the doors off my machine

[@D3thM3tal]

We picked up a 25` 2 door Northstar Ultimate XD1500 and the fit and finish is NUTS, the cab feels super solid and quiet. Looking forward to geting some larger tires, skids and sliders on it for some trail riding duty.

[@NWI_Steel]

Curious how that fit n finish will hold up in 3 yrd

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

50k is WAY too much!!

[@Daxedwards64]

You can find one cheaper than that definitely

[@PeeterPuncher]

Hard to believe someone has that kind of money to burn on a toy.....$40k?🤣 More money than brains right there.

[@wdubduece8913]

Just because someone has more money than you doesn't make them more dumb than you. What kind of logic is that? It's ok to be a little jealous. Just say so.

[@dakotadickens8902]

@@wdubduece8913actually it kinda does. Buying something that is instantly losing massive amounts of value is completely irresponsible. That 40k invested at a 12% return without putting. Any other money in at the age of 40 would net you $790,000 at age 65 at retirement. That 40k literally cost him 750,000 profit. So if you wanted to actually be smart about it then it’s quite dumb honestly.

[@TheCamaro5]

50k is dumb. That Jeep gladiator money. or half ton truck money. For a 1500 lb made of half plastic that just stupid. There are huge rebates going on those right now and thats because not many people dumb enough to pay that for a sxs.

[@DarKeiOffroadAdventures]

If all he’s wanting to add is navigation look into the tablets by The Can Am Crew. Hearing a lot of good things about it.

[@pete1735]

Yes I heard same thing

[@2017Toy]

in my opinion, someone would have to be completely stupid to buy this new Polaris SxS for $50,000. You can buy a Toyota Tacoma with the TRD package for less than that.

[@Daxedwards64]

Dude it’s not stupid because the thing is 10,000 dollars cheaper than what they say it is and if you get one it’s awesome

[@johnnygonzales3211]

I like Polaris I have an 850 touring but I don't think they are worth 50k might as well buy a Silverado.

[@Daxedwards64]

I’ll tell you it may be expensive but if you can get one it’s like a new truck I have one it’s much quieter than the 1000 and really powerful the whole thing is worth it expecaly if you can get one cheaper than that but 50,000 that’s a rip of the real price is mostly like 40,000$ but it’s definitely worth it

You don't put a $ on what makes u happy. I just put $ on one. But single cab ultimate. Yes deciding was hard. But it's a work rig on the ranch for me. I need the bigger harder working rig than a 1000 xp. Good vid. Keep up the good work.

[@denniscooper6328]

Yes, you do if you want to retire some day. No one making less than $1MM a year should even consider buying this unless it's a purchase for a business that can be depreciated.

@denniscooper6328 i am fixing to retire, and it's about how much productivity the machine can do. Right tool for the job.

[@denniscooper6328]

@@richardjohnson6053 what does this machine produce in your business besides transportation? Do you carry a lot of stuff in the back?

[@richardjohnson6053]

Pulls trailers, welders, air compressor, fencing material, and pipe, over rough terrain on the ranch. There's places a truck can't go that this machine can. It's a savings grace. Always had the smaller units, but the loads were too much and taxed them out. With this unit you can haul more, tow more, and do it safely. Just grabbing gear for the horses, or feed for cows, leave less of a footprint on the grass than a truck. It's definitely a tool that is well appreciated.

[@JeffreyJohnston724]

looks really boxy but a lift and tires will make it look a lot cooler
