The fixed harnesses are out of place? That machine is capable of going 79 mph plus, I think if something goes wrong and I go into a roll at that speed Im going to appreciate them… people also climb steep hills with the 1000’s, I don’t think they’ll feel out of place if you go rolling end over end backwards down a hill. A machine doesn’t have to have a turbo and be capable of 100 mph just to justify having harnesses.

[@strykerstruckgaming8007]

Everything is at your finger tips. Were you trying to go while buckled up? lol

[@scottcarter7046]

You people should actually drive one. Its a great upgrade. I absolutely love mine. The gauge in the center is nice because you have better view in front of you and you can actually see the gage. The XP rides incredible. Now time will tell on how reliable it will be but I also don't beat the crap out of my stuff either.

[@albertolobo6608]

Do you still have it? How does it work 6 months later? Do you have any annoying squeaks or noises? I'm about to buy one and I'm also one of those who don't throw away their things.

[@bryonott3771]

How is the room in the back seat compared to the older models?

[@vaoff-roadlife9710]

I don’t like that the gauge cluster is gone and the tie down points shouldn’t be above the suspension. straps will come lose when it starts bouncing on the trailer. Other than that it’s pretty cool.

[@tonyowen3154]

Use ratchet straps with a safety clips.

[@RB-wu1xj]

@@tonyowen3154 that doesn’t stop it from coming loose. Above suspension points is not good

[@tonyowen3154]

@@RB-wu1xj Yes it does. Get good straps and you won't have that problem. My favorite are Shockstraps.

[@RB-wu1xj]

@@tonyowen3154 polaris shocks get week enough, no need to tow with them compressed half way.

[@benmayhew373]

The most important thing is...will it finally be more reliable!

[@kifferpete7987]

How is this machine in mud? Is the 4x4 system good?

[@Dudesbrewsguitarreviews]

Can I hook up a small trailer or a pull behind bushhog?

[@tonyowen3154]

Good video

[@coreydg]

the biggest issue with the prior model was the driveline. the front diff had a plastic sprague carrier?! thats borderline criminal as an OEM design! and the junk rubber carrier bearing?! what the heck! and the belt design was far too small and weak. If you talk to any RZR guy, almost everyone has been broken down on a trail due to a broken carrier bearing, grenaded front diff, or prematurely blown belt. It immediately sours you to the polaris brand. 100% agree about the shifter. its so sloppy and bad. And when parked on a hill it sticks, causing you to really crank on it, stretching the cable, and eventually it breaks too... id hope they would address those first and foremost on the new one.

[@guitarwilly81]

so did they address these?

[@ArsheleeDavis]

What is the length?

[@johnhelems721]

The knob doesn’t twist pull the pin lift up on the knob

[@matthewlloyd8131]

the windsheild and bed cover is addon options not stock

[@slimtny]

inertia reel harness are for mall crawlers or someone going under 20mph. Crash in one and find out how crappy they are.

[@todmarmino196]

That trunk cover is a option

[@jorgegonzales878]

What do you mean early 2024? If we are barely in the middle of 2023

[@Chris-rg4jx]

I agree, I have already seen a used 2024 XP 1000 Premium for sale; makes you wander.

[@user-df4zm4hw2l]

Yeah, i noticed he said 2023. When this is the all new 2024 model.

[@rdbarber72]

i agree with you totally. i just put 300 miles on mine and totally agree. The shifter is more like a tractor. Seems like it should shift right in and not be so dam clunky. You have to use some force and having to come to a complete stop is undesirable as well in my opinion. A regular ol shoulder strap seat belt more than sufficient for this rig. it would get worn a lot more. the five point harness is a bit of over kill in my opinion. pain in the ass for a old fat guy with a torn rotator cuff ,to put on. Its a lot of fun though definitely a nice machine.

Now do a review on the 2024 RZR XP 4.

[@Fx-hl9wg]

🙄🙄🙄wow didn’t even mention the doors😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🙄🙄🙄

[@18wheeler77]

I just delivered 6 of these. One of them was a turbo. They come out of JAMCO in Laredo Tx.

[@Hunterworks]

I prefer my 18 over my 24 based on one thing, you need hearing protection to ride in the 24 and the radio is useless, can't hear it over the engine. Oh and that terrible primary clutch clacking on start up.

[@TheBandit7613]

Hate is a pretty strong emotion for a SxS. How about things we like and things we don't like? HATE... Yikes!

[@phhend50]

The trunk lid isn't standard, 400 dollar option.

[@xolisilethwala551]

❤ It

[@stuarthobart6844]

Funny I have 900 trail best brakes ever🌵

[@GetsumJ]

Five things I like about the new RZR 1- Easy access to tow points. When I pull so many out of them out of the mud, it’s nice to have a good pull point to attack my KRX 1000 tow rope to. 2- Overall weight- It’s light and nimble, which makes it easier on my KRX 1000 to pull the RZR out of the places it really should avoid. 3- Cup Holders- Polaris knows their customers, so they were specifically designed to hold cans of Bud Light. 4- Easy access doors- The doors were designed to allow quick passenger and driver exit points for when the thing catches on fire. 5- Overall Appeal - When you step back and look at the RZR 1000 next to a KRX 1000, you realize how much more capable the KRX is, but also how much cooler the driver looks.

#3 ....LOL😆

[@trevordouthett2005]

Must be a kawi salesman! Lol

[@Bigbossman12624]

I don’t love Polaris but if you want to talk about a complete joke of a brand talk about Kawasaki. I’ve legitimately never seen a KRX out in the wild, they can’t even sell them. Multiple videos on the internet of utility 1000s beating it in drag races. I love Kawasaki motorcycles but the KRX is a disgusting looking joke of a sxs. Like it or not polaris invented this entire sxs class. Yamaha made a flat track monster with a real transmission. Honda made it better with a DCT. Can Am made broke HP barriers and made the class more competitive. Kawasaki did nothing.

[@GetsumJ]

@@Bigbossman12624 Well someone has no sense of humor. LOL

[@Bigbossman12624]

@@GetsumJ hahaha hurt your feelings?

[@psehunter3525]

We should thank Kawasaki! If not for the krx polaris would not have done much of this to the xp

No gauges front steering wheel is ridiculous, step backwards

[@CorpseCallosum]

You said 2023 but its 2024.
