Thanks Guys excellent shotout, was waiting for this comparation for too long, keep the good work :)

I would love to see this with 2020 or 2021 models, Polaris seems to have addressed the items you did not like with the latest revision.

I’m gonna go with the harbor freight version

Great review vid. You are also better than most in front of the camera. Ty! Gonna take a look at the defender for sure.

Great review thank you. The only thing missing was quality of components and fit and finish.

I'd love to see a six seater shoot out with all brands.

Excellent narrative and fantastic commentary. Simply the best.😃

Excellent narration and a fantastic commentary. Luke Lester is simply the best.

thanks for the video. I'm just getting started at shopping for a 6 seater. Great information.

Love your vids dirt trax

Awesome review guys, can you please do one for the latest 2018 models asap? It would be great to have an update after 2 years. Cheers

Nice review. Glad I bought the Can-Am today.

Great video

Thenks Luke very INFORMATIVE

Showing the 4 wheel drive capabilites would be nice?

I agree with you thank you for the vid

Please compare the winner to the 800 cre tracker.

want more videos like this

I would like to see them loaded and empty climbing. Mud and sand hills. When carrying wood out of the Forrest the one that grabs the best and don’t get stuck is important

The concept of such big vehicles for weekend fun I have no idea what you are suppose to do with them other than farming.

Need the mule pro fxt out there too

I have one main requirement 48 inches wide or less because of trail restrictions. This leaves out most all UTV.

Love your show,But most of the time it Polaris or can am Would like to see more brand's

We get some variety with this channel, the Polaris brand shootout always has the same winner! The Ranger fits my needs more than the Defender, but these are both solid vehicles.

What about the "Intimidator" Crew Series ?

If you compare to tracker also compare price.

The price value comparison should have included the cost of all the replacement parts that you will likely have to purchase on the Ranger right after the 6 month warranty runs out versus the higher quality parts and the 3 year warranty on the 2016 Defender. Too bad you guys didn't do any trail riding that is where the Ranger would have an advantage with their Hilliard AWD differential versus the Defender Viscolock differential. That is, of course, assuming the drive shaft was in phase from the factory and hadn't shaken it apart...

What other 6 seaters r there?

Both are good machines that is why they are on top of the mountain

Id like the Polaris more if the top out was higher.

The new defender comes with a locker. I don't know who's going to win since I just now started the video but I assume it's polaris because dirt Trax gets paid for them obviously

Why didnt you do the new Polaris 1000 6 seat

Throw in the CFMOTO UFORCE 1000XL I’d like to see a “side by side” comparison

Does Kawasaki still make a six Setter mule

Why is there not one over Polaris and can am mud bikes

The Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT EPS LE is missing from your test

Wheres the Yamaha Viking VI?

you guys didn't include the arctic cat hdx 6 seater

Very good morning Look, I live in Peru South America and I would like one that is very interesting How do I get them and how much they cost since here in Peru I have a company RUHA SELVA CENTRAL EIRL, he is also a distributor of this product here in the Peru I see that it is very important for rough work in the mountains and jungles of Peru

Do along term shootout for durability my buddy has 16000 miles on his defender with only maintenance that would be a lot of parts on my ranger

I never heard Mitch of reliability and or cost of maintenance after say 2 to 3 years and a lot of miles based on my own observations the Polaris definitely uses more parts and definitely has many problems as it reaches 15 to 20,000 miles

Please do a 2016 or 2017 rzr 900 s

I was just at a video that compared Xbox to PlayStation Console to PC Now Can Am to Polaris But why

Is the roof worth 3000

i really like the can am

The Polaris also gets another point in the “More visits to the shop on a regular basis” category. Can Am is a better option people.

Guys I love the channel. But I was seriously disappointed you didn't show a side by side acceleration test. That's what everyone is wanting to see. I felt teased.

I love polaris ranger

They put the side by sides side by side

They took the look from the old ranger

Can you un govern the ranger?

How does it have six seats

It would be nice to see you guys review Kawasaki products.

So get a can am unless you get Polaris and pull out the restrictor

Let’s see the 2020s

How much is it

Beds to small & the roof on the crew cab leaks on the ranger

Ya just prefer can am defenders don’t ya

Why not include the Viking VI?

2018 kawasaki mule pro fxt hands down.

One review I never see is that the Can-Am is the only side by side that is good for people over 6'3" to drive. I'm 6'6" and the Defender is the only one I fit in. LOL

Great non bias review, forgot 1 important topic. Reliability.. i hear Polaris brand always breaks. But I'm new to these vechiles so maybe its just haters. Any input? Also, any other challengers? Does Honda or kawasaki etc, make 6 seaters?

OK there is a Viking and Kawasaki that needs to be in this

Thanks but I'll keep my Viking VI (and I'm even a Polaris guy).. well, was..

COME DOWN TO MONTANA GUYS AND I'LL TAKE YOU GUYS ON A REAL ADVENTURE ON THE BENBOW TRAIL IN NYE MONTANA!

the most important feature to me is noise and the can am is loud

I believe that you are a Can Am guy!!

Altho they have simmilar storage the bins in the polaris just seemed bigger to me so why did can am get that point eather way i like any off road brand as long as its not honda

Buy a 3 seater and put 3 people in the back

I have friends with the polaris lock and ride things is bs, does not work at all he has to use a ratchet strap to hold the box on

Polaris all the way !!! Yamaha makes the best UTV`S and ATV`S tho...

i like storage on the ca am better.

Just an Amphibious version.

People are morons. Great video. I just took delivery of a 2017 Can Am Defender with a ton of extra goodies. I love this thing!

Yamaha?

Can they be street legal. Sorry new to the game..

What about fit and finish as well as quality of the plastics and tie rods, A arms etc? I always find that Polaris is lacking in those categories. Look at the rangers gauges, old analogue style where the can am has both analog and digital and a much nicer fit and finish. If you're dumping that kind of cash on something like this, the plastics shouldn't be out of a hot wheels car like a Polaris, that's why they are cheaper

He meet to say 6 people and all there beer where I come from lol

for 200 bucks more a month you can git a 2016 ford f250 with plenty of room and a lot more storage and tow capacity

Dirt Trax I watch everything you guys put out. But I think you guys need to come to Iowa and play on our 600+ acres. Our Defender XT is leaps and bounds over our Ranger 900xp and our three 570s. And the fit and finish is way better than our General 1000. The defenders clutching is the best out, the polaris Rangers and especially the general have very jumpy clutching. The Rangers cab is small and tight a more up right seating, along with very little leg room, feels like driving a 18 wheeler. In the Ranger 900 your face feels like it's gonna kiss the windshield on trails. The Defender XT is plush, it rides and drives like a off road Cadillac, and alot of room. I'm 6'1 230lbs and I almost feel small in the Defender. The Defenders turning radius is mucb better than the Rangers aswell. Everything we've done the Defender does it better, the Torque is insane, has more low end torque then our General 1000. We use them everyday from farming, wood hauling and snow plowing. The Defender is worth much much more than any Ranger on the market.

Door Nets. Get scissors or knife, cut straps, and throw in trash can.

That’s stupid how big these are and how little their motors are... why not just put a 1600 in there? A light super bike has more power than these massive machines.

Hey this Is a great review.. but this channel never says anything about can am shit visco lok. if u are a farmer or a construction worker.. don't buy the can am unless u like 3 wheel drive

paid for by polaris

Polaris looks and feels cheap. If you want to break down or have endless recalls or runs bad, buy Polaris. I just bought the defender a few weeks ago, and it is built crazy well. It feels super solid, it is solid metal and rigid plastic, unlike polaris's cheap feeling and performing plastic. The defender is hands down the best. I did a lot of research on the biggest 4-6 seater sidexsides and every dealer I went to confirmed that Polaris was absolute shit. If you want reliability, so with the defender or the Kawasaki mule, however the mule does lack in power.

Not that the outcome of the scoring will be any difference, but this should have been between a 2017 CanAm Defender HD10 MAX vs a 2017 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 CREW. Again, with what scored the CanAm higher might not have made a difference with the new Ranger 1000.

Can am is new to the 6 seater utv so they copy Polaris and put little upgrades because they can't think of what to do themselves

Ahahah yeah okay I have a polaris ranger everything's maxed out, I am very unhappy with it now I have a can am MUCH better

With all these posts about dependability .......

Can_ am more like canned _ham

I think polaris spent a lot of money on advertising and paying for these video's. If you want something that's going to fall apart, but polaris.

Why didn’t the can amm get the first point. It was the power... it puts it down better... it has more power... so how did Polaris win?

The rangers a 900 and can an is 1000 so it’s not an even showdown

You always chose Polaris cause they pay you off .no one would chose smooth over fast please try to come up with a better lie !

What about the ugly category, looks like a tie to me

Finally about time Polaris loses at something

Smooth? Ranger? Pshhhhhh nothing smooth about there transmissions.......

I run both on our 100,000 acre ranch in the mountains of west Texas ( ranger diesel crew & Defender HD8.) Someone must have jacked those movable storage bins in my CanAm. That's my biggest complaint. The CanAm is much more enjoyable to operate when running around however, for some reason it is 10X worse about dust. My ranger has aftermarket shocks, axles, and a minor lift. I prefer the ranger in the backcountry. Not apples to apples but, my Ranger is my "Go-To" if I'm not in a hurry, need to go cross-country, or do some heavy lifting.

You are a Polaris sponsor. All your shows are Polaris. You are payed by polaris. They win hands down every time.

This is complet shit grab 4 adults and a aditional 500lbs in bed and grab yamaha and kawi shit id even grab the honda 4 up and see a top speed accelaration pulling power and ground clearance and trail ride .....because nobody truly has a video which vehicle is the best to work or play with the family or to grab for a cruise around town or beach
