How GOOD is the 2024 Polaris Ranger XD 1500? We spent two days in Wyoming to find out. The world’s first 3/4-ton side-by-side is here, but is it enough to make you sell your pickup?

Love the features, hate the price. I just saw a 2020 used 2 door jeep wrangler for sale for $15k that basically does everything this new Polaris does plus it is street legal and has a billion aftermarket parts for it available. I personally think Polaris should have just jumped in with both feet into the jeep market and made a street legal tiny truck.

Not shitting on this machine at all but I could only see a very very small market for this. It’s priced out of reach of most, and then people like me who use a side by side for light duty work and the tractor for serious hauling. Great job on it though, it definitely looks like a well put together machine!

I want one, however the new CVT is my concern, not the CVT itself so much but the dual clutch plates, that is what gets you going, they will take the brunt of the abuse in situations where the tires do not want to turn or when people put too large of tires on it. These clutches will slip and burn, and polaris says this cvt has no repair parts, buy a new one.

I mean it’s a great work rig but Polaris needs to make long box option like my defender 6x6. I really wish I could get that engine and transmission in mine, however! The 1000 v twin is absolutely gutless and its CVT is jerky and difficult to use in technical terrain.

@freidrichnietzsche6643 7 ай бұрын

Interesting comment as I’m eyeing the defender pro (4wheel/hd10/long bed) for use on the farm. Is the engine & trans really that bad? How has reliability been for you?

@downbytheriver501 7 ай бұрын

@@freidrichnietzsche6643 it’s perfect for ranch work. No problems with engine or transmission either. Currently just hit 4,000 miles while on “the maze” in sand hollow (an 8/10 rated trail that was surprisingly not too bad with the 6x6). I’ve had up to 1500 lbs in the back of it and have towed in excess of 3,000 lbs and it handles both of these situations very well. I had to replace the belt around 3,000 miles because I accidentally left the parking brake on when winching out of a spot I was stuck on in sand hollow. Other than that, I’ve replaced the tie rods and ball joints in the front twice, both front cv axles once (attempting mickeys hot tub and front wheels came off the ground while WOT and then slammed back down snapping both), and right middle rear CV once, and A arm bushings in front (need to do rears soon). But this is all primarily due to the fact I have really put this rig in some very harsh trails (see my channel for vids of what I’ve done with it). My critique of the engine being gutless is primarily due to the fact that I am oftentimes riding at 8,000-12,000 feet and above.

Everything these days is way over priced! EVERYTHING!! This included! But this thing definitely has its place, may not be in my garage because I can’t justify 40Gs for a toy but if I was gonna spend it on a toy, it would be this over a razor or something else and snorkel it and dump it in the mud and destroy it in the first trip….. which is what everyone where I live does. They buy $20-$30,000 buggies, spend another $10-$20,000 on em just to sink em over the snorkels and break axels etc…. So it’s not too far off cause I definitely want a northstar myself, I’m just wishing that the Polaris Ranger 570 Northstar had A/C and not just heat. I’m in the south, it’s hot here I need ac ha good review I appreciate it!

That group of people building rigs like that is considerably smaller than the group that’s going to go out and buy a turn key decked out machine with a warranty like this. I agree you could build one badass rig over time, but when you can go and finance one of these, I would guess is probably why they’re gonna sell. Especially people who can use it as a tax write off.
