[@jyharris]

Great video. A lot of good information on a great machine.

[@chrisharris9115]

That’s what I like about my utility atv. I built a box that straps to the rear rack so my 50 pound dog can ride too. Actually built it cause we were headed out to Colorado. She used to love to chase the atv, but now as soon as I start the engine she practically jumps into the box.

[@BullittKid08]

Smart dog 🐕

[@4570dylan]

I was undecided between this and an older scrambler. I went with a 2014 xp1000. Really happy I did. Whenever I take it out on the trails I'm happy its not as wide as the new ones....

[@gadgetmantwincities]

Just glue a piece of rubber on to those ramps then you won’t damage the tailgate!

[@WW-wf8tu]

It's a truck! Not a luxury sedan. Besides that it is a chevy. Even less love for it.

[@brettls2]

@@WW-wf8tu this is probably the stupidest comment ever and this is why trucks don't last as long as they should, I don't care what it is, I don't care if it's a full-blown mud machine, you should always take preventative steps to take care of your stuff, gluing a piece of rubber on takes no time and protects it forever. I bet everything you own is complete trash lmao.

[@tinman7159]

Man does a great job on information for potential riders who might like something like this.. I love Polaris, just picked up a 2008 sportsman awd 800 HO WITH ONLY 60 HOURS ON IT.. SMOOTH ON TRAILS, AWSOME ACCELERATION... THIS MACHINE IS DEFINITELY A FRANKENSTEINER !!!!!

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Studded snow tires on that thing in the snow would be awesome.

[@R.Nelson]

Right on Alex!!!... that was cool... screaming past the truck!!..😆😀 NICE!!...😁Thanks Alex and Kase... great show today!!

[@texasatvoffroad5901]

The Sportsman XP1000 S is also 55 inches wide with the same frame. The Scrambler is not the only 55 inch wide machine available.

[@martinbear8791]

Scramblers are so fun too drive ! Great bikes

[@egroach77]

Good job Alex, its nice not hearing Roman say "razor rocks" 20 times

[@R3benga]

You said it's the only 55 inch long travel... Don't forget about the sportsman version

[@wreckitruss]

"It would have been nice to load it up with some wood." Then maybe you should buy the sportsman...

[@izom]

awesome ride

[@kennethjinkins8967]

A lot more fun than climbing rocks in slow motion

Very useful review. I am sold on NOT getting it. lol. Thanks. Keep em coming.

I want this thing, but I know Polaris is horrible. I’m stuck on my decision.

You forgot about the Can-am renegade X xc, it’ll scramble that Polaris all day long!

[@donaldliverance2597]

That's funny 🤣

[@yesicanu]

Yeah that Rotax V-Twin

[@FukemMotorsports]

i think you have the shifter not tuned in right, my sportsman 570 as the same polaris shifter and it clicks into place flawlessly everytime

[@joeyg283]

It would be nice to mention if you could attach snow clearing accessories on your ATV AND SxS reviews.

[@greathornedowl3644]

Hey Alex, thanks for the thorough review. The ramp cardboard trick works so does carpeting squares or if you have rubber matt in bed. Would be nice to see it off-road, as in the knee-deep mud or snow.

[@gregparrott]

I run both an XP1000 (non 'S' Version) with 30 inch 'Mudzilla' tires, and a Can Am in snow a LOT. Unless it is VERY light snow, with no consolidate base underneath, the quad will struggle, spinning the tires in snow that deep (except if there's a slight decline). I used chains on another quad, which helped a lot. But the muffler location on the utility XP 1000 is adjacent to right rear wheel. That precludes use of chains in back. The 'S' model relocates the muffler to the center, which should enable the use of chains, chains. I also have a set of tracks for both my XP1000 (Mattracks) and my Can Am 800 (Camoplast) While it's no match against a snowmobile, it does pretty well.

[@tieoneon1614]

I was wondering if these XPs would be able to drive over the wheel well to fit

[@_DEX_-]

Frikin awesome

[@BrodyA]

Bro the sportsman is also 55 inch with long travel suspension. It also can do work and has bigger fends to keep the mud off.

[@hanretheart1968]

That is true, but the scrambler is built for 1 rider with the bump on the seat and such. The sportsman makes the same power but has slower trottle response for smoothness and a bigger seat to fit a passenger. Sportsman also weighs quite a bit more so the scrambler is the ultimate toy built with sport quad riders in mind.

[@icenationgaming2176]

@@hanretheart1968not true the 1000s sportsman is for single rider only!

[@utooeasy]

The new Sportsman xp 1000 S has the cheaper shocks not the walker Evans 2.0.

[@louisjohnsonjr.4934]

Its not the only option they also have the sportsman 1000s witch i have.

[@derrorschacher9895]

Nice 👍👍👍

[@badgerpa9]

That thing is so big you look like a 6 year old kid on it when pulling away from Kase. Nice review wish I was there.

[@KyleTraeCaswell]

Cardboard?! Hahahahaaaa. Just put some tape backed felt on there bud. LoL

[@neverenough4211]

Nice truck, does it come in Mens?

[@northerntoyota7584]

I put pipe foam insulation on my ramps to not mark my new tundras tailgate all to pieces.

[@gregrowe1168]

NORTHERN Toyota just glue a piece of a rubber floor mat to the bottom of the lip, problem solved. And it also makes the ramp less likely to slide off as well.

[@doc559]

Wolverine 500?

[@pajamatime5750]

You guys need to adjust that light bar it’s gonna blind pilots if you turn it on!

[@agresnif9751]

but how do you haul the ramps and the atv?? seems like there is no room left for that.

[@robschafer2723]

Plenty of room underneath the atv itself.

[@threefortyduster]

Ramps slide underneath the middle of the atv stacked on top of each other.

[@cowboy3490]

Doesn’t the sportsman S have the same width and travel. Just different shocks and front diff.

[@datblue5.0]

Will you guys test snowmobiles eventually?

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

That would be awesome. Some of the new turbo sleds maybe...

[@datblue5.0]

@@richfarfugnuven6308 For sure. I got a carbureted ski doo, plenty of power, over 110 easy, but I'll never decline more lol

[@jadosa29]

@@richfarfugnuven6308 the turbo sleds are fast and a ton of fun on a well groomed trail or lake but they’re still very heavy. There are several in my riding group. For me personally I’d still prefer an 850 2 stroke. I love the low end snap and the light weight makes a HUGE difference especially if you try to do a 200+ mile day. By the end of the day you feel that extra weight.

[@yorkchris10]

Yes, it's almost a SxS. ATV's have been subject to being outlawed for certain behavior.

[@bad05ford]

My 13 900xp has 88hp. They could not neuter it.

[@grandcrappy]

They do ROCK, but if ur not good mechanically, and take them in for service, the bills will be four figures often. Expensive as a car, truck yo.

[@SkodzGaming]

snow test with no snow or ice lol.

[@cadilac41]

Hi guys greetings from iraq , I love tfl videos but as a suggestion what about bring a hammer h3 as a budget off-road review?. My best wishes to all

[@wantsanewvehicle]

Is Stephen no longer with tfl? I know he has his own channel but I don't see him here anymore :/

[@estefanibastida243]

There was an episode where he departs from the show while also giving a review. Most people missed it. I was wondering the same thing the other day and did some research.

[@pajamatime5750]

He’s purely on the Truck King channel with his Dad in Ontario now....

[@12cesaradrian]

Finally reviewing a Polaris not a canam shitbox🤣

[@anthonykrevenky]

I've had a full size yamaha yz250 strapped to the back rack of my scrambler just fine

[@WRXXXual]

Can you imagine of Yamaha and Can-Am made ATVs that directly competed with the Scrambler 1KS? The world would be a better place.

[@gregrowe1168]

[@donaldliverance2597]

@@gregrowe1168 doesn't compete it's missing a lot of suspension the 55" scrambler is in its own class untill they offer a wider option for the canam there is no competition

off road, none. Just has to be property you have legal permission to be on ( your own, or family and friends ) or a trail system its allowed on.

Pretty sure the ATV and the rider are over the weight limit of those ramps 😂

pretty sure it is 600 per ramp but it's probably still very close I think that scrambler weighs about 900lbs

They’ve all had that for a long time. The belts last a long time. I’ve got 5000 miles on a king quad 750 and the original belt is still in good shape.
