We look at the all-new 2020 Polaris Ranger 1000 and what makes it different than the revised 2020 Ranger XP1000. Those two little letters mean lots of changes.

I’ve owned my 2019 XP 1000 since August 2019 and I’ve absolutely loved it since. Zero issues. It handles the trails with ease, the power is great, mud isn’t an issue with it, and holy $*** is it a blast! Great work horse around the property for hauling hay, wood, feed, pulling fell’d trees, etc. As I said, great work horse but a blast on the trails when you what to kick it with friends.

[@stanhamilton6031]

Great honest review! Keep up the awesome work!

[@user-ls7gm8ng7f]

I like this guy’s positive attitude and calm demeanor. Good videos!

[@pkilla28]

Just purchased the 1000. For what I'm doing with it; riding the kids around, going back and forth while hunting and trail riding I have no complaints. Plenty of reserve power.

[@spoolspeedbearings]

She is really pushing the XP. Probably the BEST reason to buy the Ranger 1000!!!!

[@johnrafferty5266]

Great video!!

[@whiterhinooutdoors4572]

Great video why is this man not getting more views this is the guy u need to watch before u buy wish I would have come across this video when I was in the market for a new Polaris I will no longer watch dirt trax reviews this guy i believe to be honest and will only go to him for my atv research and watching needs

[@SXSVideos]

Great video! Very informative! Thank you for putting this out for us. I see an XP 1000 in my future 😎

[@Royalblue-ui3cv]

SXS Videos Zach I would try to get the 900 now

[@SXSVideos]

@@Royalblue-ui3cv yeah that's not a bad idea. They are pretty cheap right now.

[@cousinstu]

Excellent review, and I agree - polaris ranger 1000 premium is my choice. I use it about 70% work, 30% trail. YMMV

[@boreded2001]

Recently bought a 2020 ranger 1k, we love it. No need for the xp and got a great deal.

[@JMason-Outdoors]

I bought a 2020 Ranger 1000 eps and I love it. I just bought it for hunting so I didn't need all the fancy stuff and extra power from the XP. Mine is perfect for my needs.

[@pasqualepapaleo662]

I think I agree with you the 1000 is good for me too I’m going to buy it for snow removal if I can afford it with a Northstar cab what do you think

[@robophobic3716]

Never talked about the suspension. Which is worlds different

[@g20xwarx46]

I’ve had a 2019 xp1000 20th anniversary edition and I put a lift and 34” tires on it and no engine upgrades lower gearing nothing and it still runs 60 down the highway

[@jamieshields9521]

Interesting the market is getting tougher as much i like the new Ranger 1000 n XP 1000, I like under seat storage but wonder if cab better then John Deere. Be looking forward for full review even match up with competition like John Deere Gator.👍

[@m118lr]

Jamie Shields...Yep, THAT’d be one I’d want to see too

[@leeharvey9006]

What do yall like about the gator?

[@guerom1367]

Have they improved the belt system?

[@ryangertridge]

So question... why would some off the cab stuff fit on a xp but not a 1000 ? She said can only get winter package for the 1000, why what's different between tbem

[@benfesenmyer4795]

When is Polaris going to put apple car play in these things

[@robertmortillo]

Polaris should be taking notes after seeing your comment

[@mattfarrar8566]

The regular 1000 is pretty fast. I just test drove one back to back with a HD8 can am. Felt significantly quicker. The torque is instant on the 1000. I’m pretty impressed, I expected to like the can am better. I think I’ll buy one tomorrow.

[@cousinstu]

Same here. I gave the Defender a chance, but stuck with the Ranger. No regrets.

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Wonder if you can swap the head and everything work

[@ItsZep2012]

Shouldn't they have mentioned that the XP 1000 Texas Edition comes standard with a roof?

[@NewtonWashinton]

$4000.00 Difference between Ranger XP1000 and Ranger 1000, I will take the Ranger 570.

[@wesrazz5874]

I just paid my fullsize 570 off. Looking at rebates going to get a 570 full 6 seater. Plenty power for me and I haul wood all the time. Anyone know the best time on the rebates on the 570 full six seater.

[@melaniebarber9924]

Ordering an XP as we speak! Woo hoo

[@jonny5269]

Have you gotten your Ranger? I ordered a 1000 premium recently.

[@SGM514]

Worked on a ranch a few years ago. Was pulling out of a section of the property after weed eating a large ditch. I started down the road and was going about 50mph myself, slowed down a little and tried to make a left turn and got T-Boned by car trying to pass me at the same time as I turned. The car was going roughly 60mph and the initial hit knocked me out, my head split open on the roll cage. After that my body ejected out of the ranger and flew up into the windshield and up over the car. The person who hit me just sat in her car staring at my unmoving body. Anyways long story short my former boss is only buying Polaris for the rest of his life. The Ranger was barley damaged hahaha. Should’ve had the doors on that’s for sure.

[@joecatalano166]

Jeremiah Young... hope you’re doing ok dude.

[@timperedsoul]

Great video. I tried taking a shot every time Anna said "XP1000" and now I crashed my PX10000 into a tree.

[@budbundy5021]

Yeah I noticed that she said xp1000 alot too

[@fredyrodriguez4221]

Ahaha

[@Kallaus_built]

Most underrated comment 😂😂

[@bradh7472]

I hear there are a lot of issues with Polaris. Is that true and is the band on the transmission any good? Honda has the shaft drive.

[@tecumsehred59]

My best guess is that all machines will have issues especially with some crazy teenagers trying to use it to the brink of destruction without Maintnance period. As far as the belts there strong very dependable in my opinion I’ve owned a kawi brute force 750 2006’ and damn think is still running belt has been strong, currently I own a 2020 ranger 1000 SOHC works great no belt problems yet.

[@llsniperlyfell6406]

So which one is better?

[@klo910]

Is the 2019 XP the same as the 202” XP?

[@meatballnevaeh]

Limited 19,999 ummmmm WHAT 👀

[@backspace4093]

Hope they upped the reliability.

[@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043]

When are they going to put 1000cc two strokes in these. I need a two stroke ranger

[@austinbutler1291]

😂 I dont think there are strong enough axles to handle all that 2 stroke power

[@TruVlogTv]

What’s the point? The belt is the weakest link in the system and would just smoke and burn and break. I do not understand the belt theory no matter how many times I’ve been opened to it. Belt barely work on vacuums, why would I want that operating my 20,000 unit. Without the best the unit is Worthless

[@tecumsehred59]

@@TruVlogTv I think they use better belts than they do on vacuum cleaners what a tool.

[@choi-do-fa]

In Korea, how buys it?

[@radio40]

how the hell does he get to drive these for free

[@cyberfunkmeister]

here every sentence sounds like a question in the end.

[@robswanson1218]

I know exactly what you mean. The deflection in young peoples (some) voices now a-days is all over the place especially on social media when they are explaining a product. They also love the phrase "As well". We are just getting old I guess and I would think our parents thought the same thing about us in the 80's. I think it has to do with themselves and their own insecurities when describing something. When I hear a video like this I immediately switch it off.

[@zestooo6932]

@@robswanson1218 they’re trying to sound appealing. I’m a teen but it seems like many YTers nowadays, he’s trying to sound engaging and appealing. Little bit of excitement too maybe.

[@q-man762]

I've noticed that with young women speaking especially, everything is spoken like a question? Not allowed to have a definite answer/opinion. Might offend someone. 🙄

[@johnhimphill3741]

They come with a roof or windshield thats extra.

[@pacificdragon1]

I was wondering about the reliability? I have heard that Polaris Ranger’s have reliability issue.

[@cousinstu]

I never see data based on units sold, so I think this is exaggerated. I'm on my 2nd Ranger, had 2 sportsmans before that. Never any issues. My family bought a 2000 sportsman 500 new and it still runs like a Swiss watch - starts up and goes every time. And my parents haven't babied or really maintained it as well as I would. I highly recommend polaris. YMMV.

[@scottwinslow8772]

wow UNDER powered

[@wraith511802003]

Compared to what?

[@mrX-fd4dz]

M K compared to a Yamaha she’s a drag car

[@fargonianproductions2767]

Scott Winslow it’s a utility vehicle, it doesn’t need to be fast

[@leeharvey9006]

The regular 1000 is underpowered for a utility vehicle if anything. I just picked up a 21 crew 1000 and itll do 57 in no time. I can throw back out on pavement and it does donuts with ease. These arent built for that but damn it its good at it

[@leeharvey9006]

Overpowered*

[@andrewh5988]

Do they both have the same primary clutch

[@christoforospilitsis541]

No,the Xp has the p90x primary and secondary,with a plastic helix that twists out an edge on the inner sheave to grap your belt to slow you down on hills.The non xp 1000 has the p190x primary and secondary,which does not feature engine braking.If you go to Orem parts website and compare the parts diagrams on both styles of clutches on the xp vs the non xp,you’ll find that the p190x drive and driven clutches on the basic 1000 are not only more robust and have larger spider bushings on the primary,they are more expensive than the xp’s clutches as well.

[@busymountain]

Is it still noisy? Does it freewheel when you let up on brake going down hill or is it controlled roll like the Yamaha? Does the Polaris come street ready?

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

busymountain noisy, I’m sorry but the Viking is so loud you can’t talk normally and hear each other while your riding in my friends 2015

[@busymountain]

Everything I have read or seen videos on they even claim to have quiet rides. So am am not sure why your experience is different

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

I have owned 3 rangers and they are a lot quieter than a Viking. Know the 2018 did make some improvements but its still noisy. The main reason is the motor is farther back in a ranger bs the viking

[@busymountain]

I will look into it closer thanks

[@wraith511802003]

Did you even watch the video before asking questions? The answers are in the video.

[@LVCMS]

How long is the warranty good for?

[@SketchyXC]

Polaris warranty is 6mos i believe. You have to purchase an extension

[@johnnychimpo6191]

Ranger is 3 months RZR is 6

[@cousinstu]

Just bought mine, got 1 year

[@JackG79]

POLARIS make some absolutely amazing machines but at this point they're getting way too far in depth with all these features and ride commands and options and several different variants on the 1000 engine. They need to simplify thjngs.

[@fishsticks5175]

Cant man ots 2019.. story of manufacturing... wether it 1979 or 2019. But now ur losing time only going to get more complex etc. Has to do with credits and the garbage epa. .. would u buy a brand new 2002 7.3 Ford back in the day or a super complex emissions exhaustion 6.7 Ford in 2019 ?

[@fishsticks5175]

At least they're still 2 cylinder but 4 strokes

[@markmiddleton1226]

Is there no more 900 in 2020? If the 1000 had same engine as the XP, why is it 62 hp compared to 82 hp?

[@lukemcd8621]

It's called tuning

[@JWarren895]

Sohc vs dohc.

[@ColonelWamp]

I also think that if you detuned that 1000. It’ll be more reliable long term.

[@pedrofontes8494]

How come no ones talks about MPG on these machines, I know it will vary from different usage, but still

[@milkman69x]

It's not good and most people don't care

[@pedrofontes8494]

keith mcguigan but I’m interested in knowing that info, to make a decision to buy it for overseas

[@milkman69x]

Pedro Fontes Roughly 18 miles per gallon or less

[@thomasmorgan6674]

I have a 2019 xp 1000 crew that we use to haul a round bail of hay around to feed horses every day. I cant give you an actual MPG, but I have not put any fuel in it for two or three months.

[@Twelve20Inc.]

All you should know. When the needle is on E put it back on F.

[@horsepowa5606]

No Drag Race ! ??? Thats where i would see the difference WAY ! Quicker.

[@slypopsracing]

You might be surprised. My salesman at Abernathy let me drive (and drag race)several brands,.....a lot to be said for low end torque (Top end, of course, HP rules)

[@ryan71100]

Insane the price of these machines and they still dont come standard with doors/windshields or back windshields, these side by side companies are crooks!

[@RandomVideos-re9ux]

bro these aren’t supposed to be full out cars lol….they’re supposed to handle light farmwork and occasional fun, not daily driving

[@Royalblue-ui3cv]

So basically you’re paying more for less power than the 900

[@gerardomunoz4469]

No it’s better and the replacement for it

[@backspace4093]

If you want something to last buy a Honda or Yamaha.

[@whtchoc72]

Is that a Minnesota girl?

[@semiauto3148]

Beautiful machines. But they are getting way over priced...especially the xp line... may as well buy a good used truck.

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Semi Auto you can buy a new truck for the price of a decked out 6 seater. Polaris rzr 1000 with just a custom cage lights and wheels and tires your looking at 35k$ and that’s the non turbo

[@semiauto3148]

Silent but Deadly not me brother... those are nice. But not that nice

[@freedomisntfree_44]
