“If I could afford one” that’s an understatement

[@adamwagner1987]

I loved this and it hit home to me.. especially making the wife happy part lol.. your kids looked genuinely happy and right there I think is key to any adventure . To have kids interested in the evolution of nature is just beautiful to me.. Thank you for this video..I am a huge Polaris fan but seeing real world senerios is what sells me ..

[@dirttraxtv]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@averyprolawncare5273]

Great content as always… don’t understand all the negativity on here… I love this machine… I can’t afford it.. no big deal… I bought a Polaris razor xp4 1000 non turbo… something in my price range… I also love the new EV hummer and a couple Lamborghinis and a couple Ferraris that I also can’t afford…. Everything has a market… and if it pisses you off how much they cost… work harder and get one … or find something you can afford and still have fun … plenty of variants out there

[@pajamatime5750]

Well said! A lot of people don’t see it that way

[@dirttraxtv]

Well said.

[@tonyowen3154]

Awesome video. As a family I love this. We have a Pro R, Turbo R and General. After watching this video I want an Expedition!

[@joshmills7889]

These machines are very cool and I do hope they continue you to make them. A highlifter option would be pretty cool to see.

[@Dreamscythe1]

yeah may aswell see if we can break the 150k mark on one

[@welderteach]

I wish I could afford one. That’s the ultimate right for me

[@townsendYXZ]

Beautiful family buddy love watching your reviews this is what its all about fun times and memories with the family

[@ajoffroad8235]

Great video Luke. They are awesome machines! I looked into a 2 seater Northstar edition here in NB, and it was way out of my price range. I'm likely going the General XP route, but for those that can afford them these things are the caddy of the woods for sure.

[@alexprince9035]

Can’t wait until these are 12-15k in 10 years

[@monstermini225]

Precisly why I bought the Xpedition, I have the Northstar xp as it does get used to haul feed for horse or things around my Aunt and Uncles small ranch when I'm not using it. We came back a week ago from riding in the mountains in Arkansas. The wife, my 2 boys and our puppy all had a great time. We opened the windows and windshield for the morning and evening rides and used the A/C during the heat of the day. Sure its expensive, but whats quality time with my family worth... BEFORE I get I could haver bought something cheaper... My wife has M.S. and can't handle heat well, so we needed something with A/C. She loves to play in the mud, so the sealed cab wasn't top priority, A/C was. Next we own multiple off road vehicles. A TRX (we used it to tow the Xpedetion to the mountains), Bronco Big Bend On 35's and we have a Gladiator Rubicon. The Xpedition is more nimble, smoother , faster and just overall more comfortable on the trail, its arguably more cabaple on the trails. Lastly, If the expedition does break its not my daily driver and I'm not in a bind as we rent our vehicles as part of a Luxery car rental fleet.

[@dustinmittel348]

Yet you'll find folks who will try to justify the cost

[@fishslayersocal9345]

I’m so close to buying one i sold my jeep so will see what happens I have a couple of friends that already purchased one and got rid of the jeep with no regrets so here we go😁

[@KevinHewer]

Great video, I think you should’ve let your wife speak on her experience that day, I bet she loved it, but I do agree with you and A.J that those machines are sorta out of price for the average family

[@jasoncampbell2808]

With the price and the size you may as well buy a used 4x4 vehicle. The appeal to side by sides for me has always been, here's something relatively small (compared to a vehicle), relatively cheap (could get them for $15,000 and under at one time), and could take the abuse of trail and mud riding. I'd be too afraid to drive this thing at $40,000. I'd rather just go get a small 4wd SUV for cheap.

[@Thedriver96207]

What is the mileage on transporting firewood? I have heard of that law/rule before but was NOT sure the specifics

[@dcarpsvlog2122]

FIRST!! LFG! Love your channel by the way!

[@nickridesbikes.]

Im curious to see how these sell in Canada considering the steep cost.

[@Thedriver96207]

Are these too wide to register on the local trails?

[@destinhook3826]

No excuse for these to cost more than a jeep or truck. Pricing is absurd on toys nowadays strictly because people keep buying them no matter what

[@thegodfreyspecial423]

Honestly I'm not convinced these are selling. I see alot of them being advertised on lots with discounts - I think Polaris mis-read the market a bit.

[@pajamatime5750]

@@thegodfreyspecial423Do you? I haven’t seen many at all and those that I have aren’t discounted….

[@dirttraxtv]

I'm doubtful any of the manufacturers are selling millions of these high price tag machines. Do you see a ton of Ferraris on the road? That's why when you see one or a Corvette or any cool sports car, you turn your head and whisper "nice" under your breath. The guys that can afford these love em and I would bet they get lots of attention when they're stopped for lunch or getting gas. For the rest of us, there's tons of awesome machines in the Polaris lineup in an average man's price range.

[@NoChance797]

What new Jeep or truck that is as capable stock can you get for $43K fully loaded? Not to mention, aftermarket parts are less costly.

[@tylerdesrosiers]

These are super cool, but I wonder why at that cost we don’t just use an old jeep.

[@rockerman212]

Third! Yes! Awesome video!

[@kevinhewlett4630]

Why are you not allowed to bring fire wood with you whats the reason

[@superfish7]

Lol buddy took a truck, then unloaded a truck

[@Mikeyhoncho1]

Only person I ever heard say one of these is quiet. Hmmm

[@bensovince4403]

I just thinking the same thing......Maybe they had the "quite kit" installed in it. I have an XP5 NS and my Wife wouldn't ride in it until I did the kit.....

[@Mikeyhoncho1]

@bensovince4403 ya that, or. Just taking care of his sponsors again. He went out of his way to mention it.

[@Zanderthelab]

What do you mean you’re not supposed to transport firewood? Firewood is firewood!

[@Outdoors-and-Sports]

With a price that large, I would just go buy a really decked out jeep!

[@dirttraxtv]

Lots of comments similar to this.

[@angeldevil167]

Hola amigo cres que la mejoren para el 2025 e escuchado que hace ruido y no tiene potencia

[@Greyteam4291]

I bought a 04 ram for 3000 bucks, put another 2000 in repairs and took it out on memorial day. Grilled burgers next to a lake did some wheeling. Still needs a couple of repairs, but I'll have way less invested and can drive it on the street. I win

[@dirttraxtv]

You win.

[@marklawyer5221]

Just like my jeep

[@Dreamscythe1]

i found the how quiet it is inside comment strange, online all you see is what feels like every expedition owner on the planet complaining non stop about how loud they are inside the cab, and watching vids of people riding them it does seem really loud and there having to practically yell to passengers sometimes

[@monstermini225]

So the adv seems louder than the XP, we did put $40 worth of sound damping in our XP, we did the front and rear of the rear fire wall which is just thin plastic in front of the engine. Polaris does install a dense carpeted mat on the inside of the XP behind the rear seat, but we sound deaden under that and reinstalled it as well. The last bit we installed on the lower section of the rear floor under the back seat. The result you can't see any of the sound damping unless you raise the bed. This reduces the noise a lot and you can now have a completely normal conversation at any speed. Only cost around $50 for Skar sound damping mat and the tools to help roll it on... (Rolling it down is important) And about 30 minutes with me and a 13 year old to install.... (I do have mechanical experience.) So an hour maybe tops if someone doesn't

[@monstermini225]

Also we still on the stock 30, 32's reduce the rpm and nose level which would make it even quieter... Also, Polaris will swap the weights for free in the clutch which will also lower the rpm and the noise. They claim the HP stay the same

[@dirttraxtv]

There's some differing options about the loudness of the cab around our camp.

[@tiphover9174]

according to the Polaris canada site the starting price is $56,000 CAD, no taxes, no fees. How on earth can anyone afford something like this that's not street legal???

[@Outdoors-and-Sports]

Go buy a really nice jeep with that money.

[@dirttraxtv]

Yeah, this one's over 57 CDN. Probably closer to 70 out the door.

[@mikestowe6136]

ya making memories going to the bank to make a truck payment on a side x side kinda stupid almost 50 grand is just stupid even if i was rich i couldnt pay that

[@alexprince9035]

Yeah but to someone who’s wealthy. 50k might not seem like much and they see the value in it. While we can’t see the value because we see it as a truck payment. Because we’re just middle class

[@roytenryders8065]
