I got a kick watching your children press every button they could. I think they really enjoy that machine. You have a nice family, enjoy them while they are young. Great memories with dad.

Hey Drake, Thank you for videos, I did the sound barrier with with RezoNix product's and had some awesome results with me and the wife’s thoughts! My going copy paste from the Xpedition forum what I did!!! Polaris should take note lol….So I finally finished up with the rear floor and fire wall on the XP5 and feel that I really made a good improvement on the engine noise! So here’s what I used, First. Killmat and Rezonix pro CLD squares first layer, Second. I replaced the felt liner and installed RezoNix lead sound barrier cut to size of the felt liner and bolted to the fire wall like the felt liner was. Third. Cut RezoNix fiber mat 45 to the size of felt liner but just straight across at the bottom and install over the sound barrier. Installed upper back set (it was a tight fit). Installed some more RezoNix pro CLD squares on parts of the lower sections back area walls and installed lower half of the seat. Installed Dynadeck on the rear floor. The wife and I jumped in went out for the test. Didn’t take us long at all both of us said that’s definitely an improvement! I didn’t have any prior measurements but I used my phone for a db reading and saw 78 to 80 db at WOT approximately 8100 rpms (Not sure on accuracy on phone app?) WOW I said that pretty damn good lol… So we both think that it was definitely an improvement over just the kilmat and the factory felt liner by far. I believe I can live with the noise levels now easily. :) I really think that the lead sound barrier and the fiber mat 45 really provided the biggest difference! Update on noise levels… Cruising speed is about around 70 db at average at 30 to 35 mph. Still was around 78 to 80 db wot… Take note Polaris you could fix this without a clutch modification just use the right materials! That’s my 2 cents worth!! I’m happy 😁

Thank you for the dbs test. And yes I get when it comes to street vs off-road driving. I did take a defender and a ranger for a ride and there’s a little different sound coming from the defender.( a little quieter) It my also have something to do with the design of the engines. Thanks again for taking the time to share.

Thx for video! Yes they are a lot money but you get what you pay for! I agree everything is a upgrade compared with anything on the market in that class.The wife and I thinking buying one just like yours. The only thing I’m concerned about is the noise.. But we ran 2 stroke snowmobile‘s for years it’s gonna be a whole lot quieter than that! Also thanks for the buying advice video! You kids you crack me up, reminds me of my younger days! Take care and god bless you and your family!!

Plexi on the bottom is for the material transport in the dump bed, rocks gravel, sticks and bricks and such could bust your glass with ease as to where itll be scarred and scratched up but still providing the coverage from the elements and debris carrying in the dump bed. Hope this helps. Their way of saving us money on a piece of glass consistently

That Polaris looks to be the Ultimate trail Rig ! Meaning in any weather you can go ride

I was naïve when buying my first and only SXS. 23 Commander. I wanted a tiny jeep like toy to cruise around and enjoy conversation and music. The 1k stereo was the biggest waist of money ever. In fact any stereo in a SXS is a waist unless you are sitting idle. I now wear a Bose noise canceling headset. Point is they’re way way to loud and and newbies like I was don’t know that.

The interior of this reminds me so much of an F150/F250

Better air flow to the clutch it’s a cooling effect

I liked the video. Ill tell yea. I just purchased a brand new 2023-Polaris-Xp1,000-Northstar-Crew) an its very nice. To where i think its not that loud at all. Jus my opinion

Nice machine brother got a question where would you mount fishing pole holders or gun racks?

Here in Gatlinburg TN i ride my 21 Ranger Northstar basically as a daily driver. My wife and i stopped in a dealership today and now i have the bug again lol. I may just wait a while longer seeing the noise. I wonder if gilloman will have a tune for the high RPM the machine turns. Thats a huge cause of noise and it doesnt need to be hitting over 8k at 55-60mph. I cant leave anything stock so now i wanna check gillomen tunes lol. Nice Ride

Hey drake like the videos just wondering if u can make one about what you do trading machines what works the best for you and what cost least over time. I see you move machines a lot, do you sell them outright or trade that at the dealer? Just wondering yours take on it. Thanks!

Does your windshield leak? Mine does. They've replaced it and it still doesn't seal right. Also at 5500 rpms my prop shaft makes a rattling noise. Have you had any issues?

I have the 2 seat northstar and it's 91 dB so loud. Gps already broke really unhappy ! 200 miles and definitely prefer my Defender limited

They put plexiglass on the bottom, so if you have something in the bed that is sliding around, it doesn't hit it, and crack the glass.

I think the reasoning behind the plexi glass on the bottom is incase you load something in the bed, it won't break the glass if it hits the front there. That's the only thing that would make sense to me.

The bottom plexi glass is in case cargo slides into it

Just way too loud.

Was surprised it was that loud.

oh crap is that in one wheel drive, at the beginning of video? is that ok?

I do a lot of street riding here in NC and my General is turning around 6500 rpms at 50. Yours is 8 grand!? Holy smoke. I don't think I want a xpedition now.

I got a 2024 rzr xp and it's same motor also very loud compared to the 900s

Would you say it’s louder than a RZR without an enclosure? Or is it any better?

If you had to choose defender max limited or xpedition xp 5 what would it be? Strictly tail riding 15-35 mph, Young kids, wood trails/ old logging roads. Use machine year round.

Very kool machine but needs about 40hp more

Very nice machine and great review, but for the price these utv manufactures need to step up the game on sound deadening materials and heat shielding, Using a new defender limited for work, ac will not keep up and the noise is ridiculous, the amount of body flex as well in the defender is pathetic as well, these look to be a lot better and stiffer. For the price of these units it should all be included as well.

At least you have heated rear seats. Some trucks don’t even got that. Lol

For babies, you should limit the noise level to 60 dB. For toddlers, you can increase the limit to 70 dB.

Everything I see on these shows top speed of 65. I bought one yesterday. It cruises at 70 smooth as a new truck. Top speed is 78. Verified with gps speedo.

Where do you live at?

Lets not forget this a 4 door motors way back know the 2 door modle makes u deaf 😢

My General 1000 XP stock was at 107 db wide open throttle. I've gotten it down to mid 90s with a dual loop exhaust and sound some proofing. Had I known the sound would be this hearing-damaging, I would not have bought it. It's just poor engineering to build something this ridiculously loud.

Sounds over 85 db are harmful. That sound required hearing protection. That’s not rite.

Damn man your rich ,,what do you do 4 a living

Don't put the baby desk on the front seat

Wait, six foot and 185 pounds? Can intrest you in 50% off jenny craig for a year? 😂😂 cool utv

Just buy an old truck for 1/10th the price lol

When I talk it makes sounds dumb dumb

Over 40k for a vehicle that you can’t have a conversation in without hollering. I’ll pass.

I have a 2024 Polaris Xpedition XP 5 -- WAY TO NOISY - revs too high - apparently according to Polaris customer service - their engineering is DILIGENTLY working on a fix-- I REGRET MY PURCHASE - this is probably due to improper gearing (too LOW) I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MACHINE AT ALL - Please note that there have been HUNDREDS of complaints about this problem and POLARIS is dragging their feet - PS - I have added sound barrier to area behind and under the seats and on the firewall in the engine bay - this helped the noise a bit but the HIGH revs are UNPLEASANT to say the least - OK if you have earplugs or you are hard of hearing - otherwise PASS PS I traded in my 2021 Polaris General and regret it - also the ADV is even nosier that the one with the dump box
