That’s a great machine. People keep comparing it to a jeep. It’s not a jeep. I have owned jeeps and if driven in real off road situations it gets expensive real fast . Yes you can buy a jeep and modify it spending lots of cash . Jeeps are not cheap anymore either. This machine is very capable for utility and recreation and if you can afford one awesome , if there was no market for them , manufactures would not build them.

Just as a note a pro R is 4 cylinder and non turbo, unless a turbo R which is a turbo 2 cylinder, but these new 3 cylinders do share a few internal components as the pro R such and main, rod bearings and rods themselves

Feels like this is a mini-pickup truck. Has more features than most cars! Great review… totally cool!!

They need to make these street legal. (with all DOT lights, horn, etc.

Great review & camera work! They seem to have though of just about anything with this SxS. Even the braided nylon instead of braided steel in the winch. Well thought out choices like this affect the vehicle in the real world, not just on paper. Great job Polaris!

Yall do the best reviews. They all seem sincere and truthful, real world. I bought a 2022 F-250 XLT premium due to yalls videos LOL.

Best video on this machine to date !

That’s a slick rig pretty cool…

I have a 2017 Northstar ranger with heat and air conditioning 1000 cc the rig runs great

Great information! TY

Just wish I had one of these when I was on six acres. It would have been so helpful to pick up tree branches. Love the countryside.

Thank you for the great review and showing the vehicle going down the road and how it handles. I am the same size as you are, and was very curious how I would fit in this new machine. All of my concerns are now alleviated. I have one on order and the idea of going into tow haul for low range was a good suggestion. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new machine. Over 5000 miles on our current Ranger.

Love it, 2 things, sliding rear window, and like older bobobcat SKIDSTEER the windshield would could should slide up under cab like a garage door.. but badass Love it as is!

Love the concept but why in the hell would anyone pay 40k for a side by side when you can damn near get a brand new two door wrangler rubicon for that price

just got my 1000 polaris xp three days ago actually. I have had a 800 xp before that. so I know what they can do that 1500 still won't make my 3/4 ton obsolete and it costs just as much at times I wonder if a guy shouldn't have gone for the 570 although I wonder if it'll struggle once the tracks go on in the winter time to check cows. I'm thinking this won't be near as popular in the working class as the 1000 put the 1500 transmission in the 1000 and that would be a real good machine.

If it has single cab long box and long wheelbase I would buy one now.

Great review! Will you be doing another one for this machine? How is the fuel mileage?

Man If i could justify the price tag i'd totally buy one, but $50,000 is a hell of a lot of money for a UTV...I want one! But I don't want that payment lol!

12:07 You're trying your best to bottom it out, huh. 😂

Great review. How's your radio stations come in? I have a 2023 Polaris ranger XP Northstar I have to hook my radio to my phone all the time to get any stations

Just wait til that transmission shits out

Can am 6x6 defender with a 6 foot bed for less. Or a good used flat bed. Or a jeep. The prices are silly regardless of how rad these machines are. When these things started getting to $25-30k years ago, I knew the entire industry had lost its marbles. Of course they will sell, but they will sell like lambos sell except have the smaller (ie, affordable) models to keep them afloat. One just needs to look at economic trajectory to see how this $40-50k sxs stuff is silly.

So compared to the ranger 1000 xp how is the suspension on trails, is it a lot more plush? Is it responsive and trail friendly? I ride a lot of trails at camp and I want a dual purpose rig. I know it’s not a Razor but I trail ride in my xp 1000 a lot and I wish it was more plush. I’m just wondering if the xd 1500 is worth the upgrade

How is the AC in it? Cold as a truck?

Were is the oil filter ?

For the price over a stock ranger at 14,700 this is def not worth the price tag. Not many smart people going to drop 30-40k on a ranger.

I was not very impressed with the engine air filter placement. It already looked dirty. Wonder if they offer a snorkel. Other than that, this machine is just badass amazing. Does it have a built-in roll bar arrangement.

The pro r motor is actuall a 4 cyl 2.0

Question for you I know y'all test this ranger 1500 but have yet seen it tested in truly rough country in the Texas hill country where these ranchers put their equipment through hell they work them hard . I know because I work on Polaris rangers and Kawasaki pro mules . These buggy's are pretty and over priced for the man who depend on these rangers they still have the old 500 rangers. And they want something that can work like the old school 500 . I've had to completely rebuild the suspensions clutches rebuilds even some transmission on the 2012 to 2020 that can't handle the terrain .y'all need to start thinking about the people who don't care about pretty and the pretty prettys or comfortable they care about down time and workhorses . Build something like that and these ranchers

I had a ranger 900 xp it was the biggest pile of junk i will never own another polaris again after dealing with that 900

So you are wrong about the motor comparison to the pro r. The pro r has a naturally aspirated 2.0 four cylinder. Not a 3 cylinder.

Yyyyeah but rumors about a sport 4-cylinder KRX when spending $30K+ I'll wait.

What is the top speed?

You sound like a salesman how much commission do you get?

Waste the cv boot covers should come with a real set on all machines

They should have beefed up the bed size.

The interior need a careful washing cleaning

Nice review, but way to much money!!

I'd sure love to have one but no way I can afford it only making $150k per year combined household income and only have 1 vehicle payment to make.

Just another toy for the rich hobby ranchers

I can buy a nice Jeep for less than that

I have to disagree with it being the first heavy duty UTV the mule pro has been beating them out as far as a heavy duty UTV this is their response to the mule pro now it definitely has a lot more creature comforts etc. But the mule pros are almost impossible to kill I work on all makes and models of UTV we will see how the 1500 plays out Polaris is good just not the first

Not pro r motor

Every "review" I've seen on this machine, shows it going down a road a Smart Car could drive down. When is somebody going to do a real review of this machine? Is Polaris afraid it's going to fly apart if they actually take it off road? For $45,000 it should be able to climb trees and rock cliffs.
