That would be awesome ,all top of the line trim levels for the most fair test 👌 would be the best and legit results

I figured they would have jump on the Rmaxx 1000 after couple months of being out but they don’t even speak of it . I haven’t watched any videos till they let us know an Rmaxx is coming on Instagram or something ! I’m ready for Doug to bring the Yamaha’s back to the channel

I noticed no one commented on the looks of the side by sides... Because that can am looks hideous af 🤮

[@randallservidio5919]

Personally I think these are work machines that let you blow off some steam on weekends and should be tested as such. Top end, full speed trails, etc looks cool, but isn't practical. The people actually thinking about buying these might be more interested in towing, payload, how much can you actually throw in the "bed", noise, etc. If the people that use these wanted playthings for the weekend they would buy "sport machines" .

[@jasonsadventures8709]

Guys when are you going to bring in a rmax? Interesting to see how that machine works out

[@lostvalleyrepairllc]

That Canned ham was pogo sticking its way down the trail and the General was out for a Sunday drive..

[@mudchamp2139]

Because it wasn't the XTP model it didn't have the piggy back reservoir shocks ,so it wasn't a even match ,I would love to see the XTP VS the XP in a rematch in the big stuff and tug of war ,The XTP comes with bigger tired better suited for pulling . I hope SXS blog does a rematch

That new commander is something else. Love the wheelbase and the cargo space is nuts (tailgate locks in to increase capacity) and the belt storage in the side of the box is pretty smart. I think for myself and the ol lady the commander would be the better option simply due to the versatility and wheelbase on the trails vs the general. Now for all out bashing the general has it beat hands down, potentially with the better setup xtp maybe it would be a bit more comparable in that aspect. Be cool to see you guys build a new gen commander as a practical trail/work rig.

[@gregc9220]

The commander is bucking it's ass off! WOW that looks rough! 🤣

[@mudchamp2139]

Because it has the base model suspension ,if it was the PIGGY BACK reservoir shock setup that would be a different story.rematch needed because the XTP model comes with ...keypad, Smart-Lok front differential, and FOX† 2.5 PODIUM Piggyback with QS3† compression ,that would be a more even match.30 in.

Level rival for it , missing the 30in tires,and Fox shocks I believe the tug of war and big woops test may by won by the commander because of its already longer wheel base .(for those who may be wondering) what vehicle to pick As a cross over sxs , consider those facts and try the XTP before getting an XP it possibly may be even better in the tug of war and aggressive driving ,we dont know yet because this car is still very new , nobody seems to have a legit fair head to head battle yet of these two great machines.

Thanks for the video. Very nice. I wonder how the Commmander would have done in the tug of war if it had the tires had the same surface contact as that of the general.

[@robstevenson6842]

its all about the shocks.... can't really compare. get the XTP and then compare

[@atowns3364]

Does the general have bigger tires? And would that matter? I think the general wins on looks alone

[@christ2054]

General definitely looks much more planted

[@M3OffRoad]

Its really not fair to compare no name shocks to the W-E shocks on the general.

[@zonacrs]

Commander looked like it needed better shocks with a touch more rebound damping, seemed to kick a lot. Really like the bed rails and cover, kind of reminds me of a K5 blazer.

[@stevancantrell4545]

Did you get the 2 or 4 seat? Considering the rmax4, talon and maybe x3 max. Talon and x3max are busses compared to the rmax4.

Hey you guys love your video keep up the good work. I'm in the market for a new utv undecided on the mavrick x3 ds turbo base or commander. Any thought that would help a fella out would be greatly appreciated. Ride alot of royal blue,brimstone, windrock as I live close to all. Thanks

[@roblawson6678]

Oh by the way looking at 4 seaters

[@NewZonaRides]

I still think that new Commander looks awesome for the type of riding I do. Wish it was out when I bought my Maverick in December 2020. I would have for sure got one of these instead.

[@Rusty.1776]

Good video guys I enjoyed it. Could you guys possibly do a video going more in depth on the utility side of the sports utility vehicles? I have a general and use it for everything from trapping Bobcat's to tearing up the trails and absolutely love it! Im very interested and curious About the utility side of the new Commander?... thank you!

[@wrenchandrip]

a budget SXS build would be cool. see how cheap you can build up a decent trail unit

[@Mlgp3]

I have a 2020 commander was thinking about trading it in for the new one. It's just not enough improvement for me. I mean I put 2.5 inch lift with 29 in terrabite tires I fixed the heat problem in mines too. Being that its 300p lighter than both them machines I believe I could take them in a drag race as well. I like the new machine but it's not worth a trade.

[@jeffsites2428]

Adding the Rmax to the stable would be great. It needs to be put through the blog testing standards. I'm sure Doug is a little bit excited about a new yammy? I remember when Leo and Doug drove to the farm and bought the YXZ, certainly grown since then.

[@IndianaPate]

It’s great to see you guys do more reviews again. Also hope you guys get to do the Freedom 500 in April at Cleetus place.

Strap 2 sxs together like the tug of war. But do a giant tug cyclone. 🌀

[@asylumental]

Yes

[@awpgaming7505]

im sure the commander isnt really "used" for what you guys do (speed trails) more utility, but man that rear suspension seems extremely soft and under spec for the size of that vehicle? maybe its just me.

[@mudchamp2139]

Thats because it didn't have the equivalent setup for a. Evan match ,it was running base model suspension and smaller tires that also affected the tug of war results .if it was the XTP model that would be a totally different story with the longer wheel base. It doesn't have these Key features to be 100% comparable 30 in. XPS Hammer Force tires on 15 in. cast-aluminum beadlock wheels 7.6 in. digital display with keypad, Smart-Lok front differential, FOX† 2.5 PODIUM Piggyback with QS3† compression

[@SXSBlog]

Yeah we were pushing it in a way that its not really meant for. Hopefully we can get the higher tier machine though

[@pyrostwistedride4821]

[@gatorunleashed275]

Really enjoyed this nice work guys. My friends that own the older commanders(2019 model) both love them, we just do some casual trail riding though nothing extreme. I have a Polaris Ranger which is great for working around the place with but only decent on the trail. I need to upgrade soon!!

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

It appeared to me the General did better in almost every category. Of course I'm a bit biased since I have a General.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

@Dave Iaucco I've owned Can Am motorcycles over the years and while they were bad ass they tended to breakdown a lot. I've even owned some Bull Tacos and had the same results. I dont have any complaints with my General and purchased the top of the line one with the Podium 2.0's back in 2016. Getting a bit old at 55 and they work just fine for me.

[@asylumental]

It's a base model vs a XP model though...so we have to take it with a grain of salt unfortunately

Other then the x3 I don't much care for CanAm. 2 biggest reasons, CanAms are the worst to work on, seems like you have to take the whole thing apart to get to anything and there's always a nut at the other end that you got to hold onto with a wrench. Hate working on CanAms. And hated the visco lock, never liked it. Great video guys, do appreciate the time you spend putting these videos together.

Kenworth jacket only comes out on special occasions, lol. I remember him wearing it a few months ago for some reason..

[@Beardest_Fishing]

For everybody not in to fast paced high speed driving I'd like to see some slower, technical style trails. Polaris rules supreme down South where all the trails are gnarly climbs and tight twisted trails. I've been a diehard Can-Am guy for years but the first gen commanders were garbage. My Commander X couldn't even think about keeping up with the 800S or the 1000 Polaris on hill climbs and slow paced technical trails.

[@markball7028]

Almost all Can-am X models all currently have front locking differentials with Fox 2.5 or 3.0 shocks now. They’ve stepped up their game last couple of years. This is kind of a base model Commander model with visco lock and base model suspension. The Commander XT-P would be more suited in this comparison. Can-am is really falling behind in Tech options though compared to Polaris.

[@tietje08]

It's awesome that you guys are doing the sport testing side of these. There's not very many videos out there that test how they ride in fast-paced riding. A lot of people buy them to do work and want to go fast but all the other videos on KZbin are only about work
