In Depth Look at The Totally Overhauled 2018 Polaris RANGER XP 1000

[@DeuceCabooseSki]

So many people hating on Ranger. Have had mine for over a year and love it.

[@MrK2022]

I like all of the upgrades except for the door nets. I have a 900 and had to add lower door panels to keep the mud out.

[@JD-qx6qw]

Dirt Trax tv should do a review on the new 2019 Textron offload prowler xt. Looks like it will be a great utility vehicle.

[@bigmurph5745]

About time they upgrade there clutching. I have a 900 and tge clutching sucks. Another thing polaris needs to work on is turning the motor or head around backwards so the exhaust doesn't go under part of the cab making the cab area very hot in the summer time.

[@silverado-vt1fp]

You haven't experienced heat until you've ridden in a Honda Pioneer 1000. Polaris machines feel like sitting in an air conditioned cab compared to Hondas. I own one of each. Lookin to get out from under that Honda though. I'm gonna wait to see if Polaris has any bugs to work out of this new model first.

[@claytonhatfield1596]

Warranty should be better...

[@thomasfisher1431]

I’d highly recommend considering the Mahindra Retriever 1000cc/83hp Gas unit to anyone who is looking for something similar to the Polaris Ranger XP 1000. Mahindra will come standard with 36 month power train warranty, 1,200 lbs electric tilt bed, 2” front & rear receivers, tilt steering wheel, 14” aluminum wheels on 27” tires, very comfortable 3 person seating, 2,500 lbs towing capacity and more.

[@ozzy7763]

My 2014 rzr 1000 lasted about 2 years. Be very hard for me to purchase another Polaris

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

Appreciate the update guys

[@dirttraxtv]

Don't mention it!

[@lovingcountrylife3064]

Love the new design. Got to see it up close at the MN State Fair and it is a sweet machine...big and beefy with more power and a little more room in the cab, which is great for a big guy like me. I ordered mine on Monday.

[@SteveSRT]

Is it just me or does the interior seem like an almost exact copy of the can am defender? Either way they did good by copying it. It's got all the things I like about the defender and looks like it'll still have the awesome Polaris cab system.

[@wildbill23c]

They're all Japanese based companies, so. there's a lot of stuff that rolls off the same assembly line to be assembled here in the US. There are tons of storage places in both machines, something you need when you use them for utility purposes around the property.

[@wildbill23c]

So, are the clutches in the new Rangers setup as a one way so the belt doesn't continually slip like on the older models?

[@hamiltonadventures8537]

Hey last season ended wheres the full ride video

[@jew0182]

Thinking about a Polaris 570 midsize. But having a hard to convincing myself to buy a Polaris. Hear so many horror stories. I wish can am made a midsize defender

[@gogokidd]

More info on 2018 sportsmans please

[@hockeyfreak043]

Seeing alloy of people talking about the belt blowing off..? I like these, but doing research on the Honda pioneer 1000,its shaft driven,..

[@NicholasJohnston]

I cant believe it took them almost 6 minutes to mention the added 24378190 cup holders!

[@mikepaulson6154]

nice machine door nets are terrible. for the price even half doors would of been better. But overall nice machine. 3 year warranty would of been nice similar to Kawasaki But big improvement over 6 months.

[@faithmissionsministries6197]

We are looking to purchase soon , Maybe there’s someone out there to give advice on Polaris or other brands??

[@Tyler_Andrew]

i have a trail boss 325 02, im new to working on quads so i dont really know how to fix it and my dad is at work most of the time, it sucks!

[@justinhampton2394]

I wanna know what kind of farmers they talked to cause on my farm the 900xp only last 2 1/2 yrs before it just fell apart. They can not take everyday abuse of a farm.

[@RD11RT]

Hey Justin, I was thinking of buying one for around the farm and have heard this too. Got any more detail of your experience??

[@justinhampton2394]

Matty L. Yea my experience is that there tow rating isnt what they say I couldnt tote one round bale on 5x8 trailer with out the belt or clutch slipping an smoking. An the the bed is plastic an started breaking on the sides. Now I didnt abuse the machine I just used as a every day farm machine

[@ozzy7763]

justin h my RZR lasted about a year then fell apart . I’m not ready to go back to Polaris just yet. Still have a bad taste in my mouth .

[@justinhampton2394]

I actually bought a new mule pro fx an so far as a work machine its hands down better than the ranger. Its no speed demon but it does everything I push it to do.

[@CarlosGunX]

Probably a weekend rancher. My neighbor purchased a 2017 last year. I'm watching to see how long it lasts. Only warranted for 12 months says a lot. Thumbs up!

[@zekeoutdoors]

I love em just wish they offered more colors, I wish I could get one in bronze

[@naderachkar1231]

can anyone help me ? i need a utv good on road and soft offroad ...whats better ranger or general ?!

[@Themagalorian]

nader achkar honda pioneer... don’t waste your money on Polaris junk... they will fall apart in your driveway...

[@fauztran]

And now with a "12 Month" warranty. Strange they don't follow their competitor's warranties. Anyhow, this strangely has me motivated to looking into perhaps trading in the 2013 XP900.

[@suzycalvan2474]

How to put windshield on

[@dirttraxtv]

I think we have done a video about this or it is part of another video but it is pretty easy to install the Polaris windshields. They fit into the grooves of the ROPs and then just clip on. Fairly straightforward.

[@eliskelton]

Love your videos

[@buckmark23]

And it's in the shop already...

[@boser1212]

Thing looks sweet! Lots of great up grades.

[@961blackwolf]

Polaris a 3 year warranty would be nice I wish Y’all would include a Micro SD port Capable of taking a 120GB micro SD That would be capable of recording If the unit has been driven aggressively or Driven responsibly It looks like y’all could have someone write an algorithm that would give a detailed report of Amount of aggressive driving machine has Undergone this would be very useful for offering a 3 year warranty And it would also be Useful for us farmers Or parents so we can view if our children or employees Have been aggressively driving our machines just a thought but it seems like a good idea From a business point of view so y’all can offer a better warranty and It would also Be a useful function for your customers

[@sgt5310]

Do these new ones start on fire too?

[@wildbill23c]

They all do when you don't take care of them and have fuel leaks in the engine bay.

[@izom]

looks great- like tha it has more suspension now...

[@StubProductions]

Looks cool. Love those new tires! I need to put those on my Ranger 400 midsize. Lol

[@ddailey5378]

Why not redesign the 570 models

[@xwhels]

2:51 kinda looks like Ford raptor?!

[@faithmissionsministries6197]

You need to add more factory warranty, 1 year doesn’t say much. There’s other companies that give you as much as 3 year factory warranty

[@darrenwilliamsweeney865]

needs auxiliary batterey setup

[@becausereasons9777]

Wanna know how to make it better? Portal axels.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Nice improvements other than the exterior style. Looks like a step backwards to me instead of " modern". Certainly not as aggressive looking as they were. Reminds me of a 80s square body chevrolet truck. Just my opinion....yours may vary :). Other than that I like the improvements!

[@hammerheartdan6311]

I kinda like it! Lol

[@silverado-vt1fp]

I love it! Looks crisp and has lines that flow continuously from front to back instead of a hood style, cab style, then bed style.

[@RD11RT]

Reminds me of the great wall headlights, sadly.

[@curtisbull1583]

How come no mention of the over 200 lb more weight in the 18 model? Sorry, but sometimes I got to wonder if you guys are really doing that much research on these vehicles or you're just reading some script by Polaris. If this machine really did gain over 200 pounds it's going to need more than two extra horsepower to make up for it.

[@noelrubalcava3794]

Curtis Bull it got a whole new sub frame and and bigger clutch, and better air intake system, pretty sure the 2018 ranger has enough power train to make up those 200 pounds

[@kylestewart8354]

makes me want move back to the country, just so I can have a cool tool like this. :)

[@ericlessard5021]

really dont like the new headlight. return to previous model please

[@walkerandrews8892]

I think Polaris needs to update the Ranger 6x6

[@jacobrosemurgy8503]

ThatBoyU LikeAndKnow yeesssss

[@wallyvandalfsen9817]

ThatBoyU LikeAndKnow I

[@wildbill23c]

I wonder if they're plans are to discontinue the 6x6? They haven't updated it in several years it seems like.

[@sabercat4067]

It reminds me of a Kia soul And the back reminds me of a Ford truck lol

[@MrMixmastamike]

Might be just me, but when I saw the front end I thought...."Can Am Defender"

[@sargil100]

Mike E. The taillights look remarkably similar to the last generation F-150 also?

[@jean-francoisberube710]

Mike E. The reworked interior also look inspired on the can defender a lot

[@jew0182]

Exactly my thoughts. Took a lot of the can am defender styling an looks an features. Still prefer a textron/bad boy stampede myself.

[@joeykunz]

There is zero reason to regurgitate their talking points AJ. Just film the paid media event and post it.

[@vinchenzomarchiavafa962]

Wow I'm early let me think of a joke People hating on Polaris because they are jealous

[@finncampeau4922]

neklad I know 😂

[@johnstjean1422]

Is this bike belt drive or transmission drive?

[@finncampeau4922]

john stjean do you mean shaft drive? 😂 😂 😂 belt drive is still a transmission

[@shekharmoona544]

It looks like a Kia soul.

[@WaldenSpawn]

Shekhar Moona yes it does, lol

[@wildbill23c]

But with more power, more room, and more towing/hauling capability...oh and 4WD LOL.

[@joesmk007]

That rope bridge is gona fall

[@marcgamelin952]

Door nets? Really?!

[@walkerandrews8892]

Meanwhile I'm sitting here with a 2011 Ranger 400...

[@rogersdeugene]

Lots of really nice upgrades and features but the body is way ugly. The Ranger looks use to tower over all of its competition. Not any more. VERY DISAPPOINTING POLARIS .

[@jaystone3516]

you know what will make them great machine if they lose the belt an go straight shaft ,belts suck .

[@sheetmetal02]

Box

[@robw3761]

If you want something hard it's going to work and last you go with a Kawasaki Mule 3-year warranty Polaris acts like it's a big deal they gave their Ranger a 12-month warranty lmao Polaris do not last too long without breaking something

[@007SurvivalGuy]

Blah, Blah, Blah, just a rerun on what Polaris has all ready put out. Come on Dirt Trax, you can do better than this. Waste of time.

[@Clayton-Bigsby]

Still looks like a Tacoma

[@iTzKevinFTW]

All this cool stuff and y'all go and make it look ugly...

[@forcast11]

way out of my price rang will not be getting it

[@gregorymandile2321]

still a piece of junk that will fall apart in your driveway

[@raythemanroe]

Buy a Honda Pioneer and leave that junk belt drive alone.. Go reliable and get out of the shop

[@scotthall8850]

I'm just not a into Polaris I have never liked them

[@eternalthread7846]

Scott Hall me neither all they do is break

[@WobblinGoblin1]

And yet here you are watching Polaris videos.
