I really like the idea of the steel drive transmission. No need for the spare belt. We have owned Nissans with the CVT transmission's for about 10 years. As long as you change the Trans oil they are bulletproof!

You have many people, including us, who are anxiously awaiting our new Rangers. How about putting on one of your shows, showing us how to properly break in that Ranger, as well as, how to drive it properly in different terrains. We have many varied terrains within 40 miles of St. George, Utah. Grab one of your ambassadors that knows how to drive trails. We have mapped many trails here so we could show you where to put that machine to the test and show people how to drive it on those terrains.

Do you have plans for a 6x6 option? With the new steel drive transmission, you have a rear differential so theoretical it would be as simple as stretching the rear frame and adding a pass through differential

steelbelt---super---am waiting for this thins many years, car industry got them. this super strong chassi with the expedition variation and a maybe 180 hp diesel enging for keeping rpm and noise down, then you have a sporty rearl overlander who manage all obstakles...and it will be woerld best offroader and a mass seller

The new ranger XD cool but the Polaris xpedition xp needs the same engine and transmission as the ranger XD

@steveward2158 9 ай бұрын

They need to put this in the Rzr as well. However, these prices are getting out of hand. 23 to 25,000 seems fair to me for starting price. I think they forget that most of us work for a living. The most I will ever pay for any toy or work horse, would be $25,000.

Rancher, so tax exempt and can use it against taxes... Will be a super tool for us working with horses cattle. we also log so guess what I can also get into the woods and drag out felled lumber plus put a shed full in the bed... You may get to see ours later on you tube...

You’ve mentioned creep mode where the clutch discs engage prior to the steel belt. Are the clutch discs engaged at an idle? Is there concern for a short clutch disc life during extended idle periods? Thank you for your time.

Why does polaris put the doors on backwards on the rangers?

@JustinEdinborough 9 ай бұрын

My questions are. 1 does this new setup have engine braking. As a hunter in the mountains, I need engine braking. My 2020 ranger northstar crew has none. It goes through brakes like no other. 2 how can I get in one for testing? Put about 2500 miles on a year.

@rodcox1005 9 ай бұрын

I can't get the one I'm paying for so you likely won't get one for testing. Yes it has engine braking as shown in many other videos.

Dose the steel belt get worn out quicker if like water or rocks gets into the belt or did you contain the belt pretty good so no water or rocks get in

@rockylongbrake1703 8 ай бұрын

It’s inside the transmission and runs in oil. Sealed transmission

Can we have 100hp fully electric atv/quad bike? High power with small battery and very short range. Maybe quick swap batteries like on electric ride-on lawnmowers. Bunch of backup batteries on slow charger like with power tools. Bonus points for 3000w inverter/power outlet.

Polaris can build a utv I like the new ranger XD why can they put the doors on the right way not backwards and why didn't Polaris put the ranger XD engine in the Polaris xpedition xp

Also for 50K where are the big badass shocks why don't we get all the capabilities of the new Expedition with its shocks or the razor there is no way this thing is worth 50K

@jessehatch3263 Ай бұрын

I've literally spent more time in a side-by-side weather being the Polaris Ranger or Can-Am Defender I do like what you have done but there is no way it is worth 50K you're telling me that you have more into that than they do into a brand new pickup I put over 200 K on side by sides I can literally say I'm in them every day they do not hold up not in mountainous Terrain

I have no issues with the design, it's the price that's offensive. And your reasons that you have cheaper models isn't acceptable. When I can go buy a 1500 truck with more high tech, more low tech, more fit and finish, etc etc etc for $1000 less. It's down right offensive. And this isn't road legal. (For those in road legal areas, you are the exception not the rule)
