2024 Polaris XPEDITION ADV 5 NorthStar Detailed UTV Overview

@@lorenc8010 Your PTSD is out of control.... he wasn't trying to insult you at all. He was explaining that the leader of the WHO said that everyone in this world will "own nothing, and be happy" Have you noticed how pricing and inflation is getting out of control? People are leasing vehicles now or putting them on credit cards. People are renting at huge rates because houses are no longer affordable. Everything digital that we consume is "subscription" based. People are making phone payments just to roll over their payments into new phones. It just keeps getting worse. Eventually we won't have anything and be what the one world government leaders call "happy"

[@URsooomad8613]

$50,000 for 114 horsepower is such a slap in the face At $50k I don't care what it's meant for, it should have the power to do anything.

I looked at the 2 door version of this at the local fair a few weeks ago, it was $41,000… that’s just crazy, I paid $42,700 for my 2020 ram 2500 , but obviously there is a market for something like this or they wouldn’t have built it…

My dealer here in PA said they already sold one at $45k USD 🤣🤣 how can you justify that kinda money for that thing

[@nd3498]

The only people who are going to buy this thing are people who feel the need to flex on others and require an ego boost every time someone says ( HEY DUDE THATS COOL, I WISH I HAD ONE). I would rather ride with a guy who had a clapped out $2500.00 Suzuki Samurai and run the risk of flipping over versus a guy who won't shut up and stop talking about its features.

[@jeffwhite3021]

It's easy to justify but at some point it's like why??? You can just get a used Raptor for the same price and you get all the niceties and comfort of a modern vehicle. This thing is huge and will get stuck just like any heavy truck or car.

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

You’d be surprised how much money people have, someone will pay cash for this on a whim. I’ll bet the majority of these will be bought with cash.

[@terratechoffroad9665]

I priced out the Xpedition ADV 5 NORTHSTAR with the optional Overland Package ($14,742 CDN) and the total before tax is $72,311. Add our federal and provincial 13% HST tax of $9400 and you have a grand total of $81,711 before freight and PDI at the dealership. I then priced out a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4 door with the 3.6L engine and 8 speed automatic ($3995) and the total come out to $69,115 plus $8985 tax for a grand total of $78,100 CDN again without freight or PDI. The Xpedition is a great concept but I believe these will be a hard sell at that price point here in Canada.

[@captseamus]

Make a good "SHOPPING MALL CURB JUMPER"... Probably with a 6 month warranty like the rest of the RZRS'

[@lloydmarche7263]

That’s a really nice machine . I looked at one but couldn’t justify the cost . I guess if that’s the only machine you want and make good use of it all the best . Let’s face it , if people didn’t buy this stuff the companies would not make them . I own and am very happy with my defender hd9 dps cab model. All the features I wanted and priced reasonably for today’s market. Nice review of the features on this machine. 👍.

They are really awesome with a set of tracks. We just took a short weekend getaway and road from just outside Leadville Colorado up to the backside of Breckenridge mountain. It was a blast. With a 11 and 4 yr old this make sense for our family now. Hopefully, we get back into snowmobiles when the little one gets a little older.

[@kevinhazen7201]

Prices of these vehicles at this level don't even make sense. Wranglers or Tacomas can be outfitted for less money and legally ride all the rodes to get to the trails. I'd would bet that the industry doesn't sell the numbers to justify machines at this price point. Very nice machine, but it would never be an option for 99%.

[@djparra41]

I gotta be honest. I got a decent amount of money, likely more than the average demographic buying these things and at this price tag that’s a hard pill to swallow, i just don’t see it. That’s like $40k-$45k USD… WTF?? I just bought a 2019 4Runner SR5 4x4 for $35k. Sure, maybe not as good for super tight trails but better in every other metric for $10k less.

I saw one in Carson city and on the showroom floor it looks like it should have a license plate. Just make a street legal jeep killer. 4x4s are big and heavy now. Polaris could dominate the micro 4x4 market if they made it street legal. Think Suzuki samurai. Speaking of samurai…. Hey Suzuki…bring back the samurai and show Polaris how to make a 1900 pound street legal 4x4.

[@ATCRyderX]

It's a SUV ATV! Love it. The original (E)Xpedition around Y2K or so was a like 425 4-Stroke utility ATV with a 5-Speed AutoClutch (a Sportsman 400 5-Speed really) that was constantly breaking down (& eventually recalled I THINK) for the unit having some weird ass "black box" issue relating to it's Reverse Gear operation or the likes because Designing Manual Transmissions was apparently way over Polaris' Pay Grade. LOL. SO BIT of an odd choice in naming this the Xpedition. Also kinda sounds like it's the Edition for Reformed Convicted PDF Files. *Other than all those super fun facts; Yeah that things dope!*

[@KirksKars]

60k ?🤯 Who is this for? Why not just buy a new Jeep and go bush bash in that lol

[@dirttraxtv]

Same price as a GMC Canyon Denali or a 2024 Chevy Blazer RS.

[@Van1018s]

Bought one today. The dark orange color. So nice. If you hated anything about Polaris. Cheap build quality. Crappy transmission. Forget about that. This is top notch. I own a 2024 ranger xp Texas edition and it isn’t close to this nice.

[@Jasonrcsd]

Good review! Like a lot of people I struggle with the price. If my income was better...way better, I'd probably get one. I'm only 30 min away from being at 9,000 feet (that's 2743 meters for you Canadians 😂) with over 1200 miles of trails and I can picture myself leaving my place and heading out to the trail with this. This would definitely be faster and probably more fun on the trails than a Jeep. I am curious how many miles people are getting out of their Generals, Rangers etc because I wonder how many miles you could get XPEDITION ADV 5 before needing some serious mechanical work. In my mind something with that price tag should be able to go a lot of miles.

[@woodsfamily1986]

very cool but 60k? not a chance, this worlds out of control, i bought a 2023 ranger and even that was outrageously priced for what u get…. Polaris build quality is brutal for 20 plus grand canadian and placement of belt/batt are in very bad locations, had to put springs in brake calliper to hold pressure because so sloppy from factory they were making a clicking noise so bad u could hardly ride the thing…. anything cool u have to buy separate for some reason even didn’t come with review mirror… all and all i love sxs but would never waste my money on Polaris anything in the future

[@gmm3780]

Yep I’m done with Polaris too. They work great for a bout a year then it’s time to replace everything

[@frankboucher3571]

This unit is insane!! Really love your videos!!

[@dirttraxtv]

Thanks man!!

[@mason4683]

At this price id have to ask what the MPG is. That's the only possible benefit id see over getting a midsize truck like a ZR2 or raptor Ranger

[@cavscout43]

Worse with a huge heavy CVT. The Polaris General and RZRs usually aren't even getting 15mpg depending on how you drive. And they're smaller & lighter than these by a fair margin. A Ford Ranger will probably get close to 10mpg more than a Polaris Xpedition, assuming stock tires, no mods, and similar driving conditions.

[@Captndarty]

Since the Northstar edition doesn’t have a tilt bed, how are you supposed to get underneath everything to service it?

[@cavscout43]

You can get a Ford Ranger Or Chevy Colorado with a camper top for cheaper than this. And those will be more comfortable, highway legal, quieter, get better mileage, and last 10-15x as many miles. This thing has a foot longer wheelbase than a Cherokee Classic (so harder to turn around on tight trails, more likely to high center or clip rocks underneath) on a narrow 64" width so it'll be sideways tippy on many off camber trails. Curb weight is 3000lbs or more too, same as a Cherokee Classic. So you're not even getting better handling by being lighter than a truck. The *basic* trim without any HVAC, windows, or a windshield is still at like $35k starting price! I'm really struggling to imagine who this is for, except people with way more money than common sense. Rich old ranchers who'll just write it off as an "ag equipment" tax deduction maybe? At this point, you're using a truck to ....trailer this slightly smaller truck for riding. We were looking at something more comfortable for camping & riding when it's sub-freezing, and realized a $9k used lower mileage F-150 was going to be better than this in every way. Toss in the Pro R and Maverick R which are insanely huge and powerful vehicles too big for technical trails, and it's pretty clear Polaris and Can-Am are just chasing numbers and fools.

[@lonnelldarien9786]

Do you see polaris doing turbo on this model down the road ? Or don’t see them doing that ? Strictly rzr models with turbo.

I think this thing is super cool. For me, there are a lot more ATV trails to check out than Jeep trails. I would love to hit the trails and not have to deal with dust, plus AC. just amazing vehicle.
