- 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.
the government is the thing stopping that
@@HorchataFan a base model jeep wrangler costa less than this new Polaris expedition. If jeep can put airbags on an off road vehicle then so can Polaris.
your not gonna haul anything with a jeep wrangler
@Illinoishunter "most four-door Wrangler models have a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds".
$40,000 for a side by side!? there is no reason it cost that much no matter what. People making excuses for these companies is so stupid.
Try over 50 after tax and accessories
@@grownnotflown2This is after tax and with most of the utilities. Still pricier tho!
I don't care, these are grossly over priced for their build quality. The markup must be insane.
I don't blame yea. I have a really nice 2023-Polaris-Xp1,000-Northstar-Cre) 6 seater. An it costed me $40K
@@pipeszietlow7353 brother you could have bought a used 4 door wrangler for that price
You talking about the sxs or the f150?
Have a 23 northstar cost $35. Ridiculous.
The people in Roseau are laughing to the bank, trust me I know a couple of them who knows the margins…people who buy these would be sick to know how much it actually costs to build one of these
I bet it’ll be just like my 2020 ranger and start giving problems around 300hours. Japanese machines will be the only sxs purchase for me in the future
There's not a single SxS on the planet right now worth what you pay for it...none!
Way overpriced. Top end shouldn't be more than $35K. Base should start around $22-24K with the mid level systems around $28-30K.
Nice review. Guess if you need all those features and don't mind the freight, go for it. Doubt there will be one in my garage any time soon.
Your video may help my COMPANY to purchase a couple due to hygiene coming down on our shop due to dangerous dusty areas. We will see I will let you know if it came down to your video and how complete it was!! Appreciate how good your review was!!
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!
These are everywhere in Australia but unfortunately not road legal we brought a 2023 North Star premium I think it was. That was 40k AUD then we had to add gun racks UHF light bars bull bar slider and roof rack it come close to 54K AUD once completed it better last a long time
It's priced for tax breaks.
Thank you. This is just the kind of review I was looking for.
But will it last and be maintenance free! Cuz the past and current polarises don't last and require alot of maintenance which they are all junk.
That’s been my experience, high maintenance!
Yep, have a 2020 ranger on the farm with 300 hours and it’s needed multiple things
How did it trail ride? do you like this unit for trail riding out west? or do you prefer a standard ranger with CVT belt
Ridiculous pricing. My 23 northstar was $35k and i almost fell over. They are simply not worth todays prices, it will only stop if we quit buying them.....also my 1000 drinks fuel like a drunken sailor, i can only imagine a 1500
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.
How is it in the trails cruising around 15-20 mph, does it do a lot of shifting back and forth? Hunting for the right gear?
hmmm, rearly important to know the positives...i think the closed cabin with AC -heating is best innovation...my dream is a mav erick r withe AC...ALL problems then are solved for rallydriving in all conditions....how long do i have to wait ?
Have they figured out a way to check oil without lifting the box?
Good review thanks for the information
CVT's are not known to last very long! Just ask NISSAN , or other brands like SUBARU.
but how many polaris going to go 50k when u look at failure rate of steel belt cvt system
Lots of them lasting well over 100k in cars
When you releasing the full video?
To be a heavy duty machine, it should be DCT instead of cvt not matter if if is steel velt it still a velt
I just secured a job making really good money, but still even if I was a millionaire would not spend $40k+ on this machine. My truck was 30 and is badass. There's no way
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.
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?
@@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.
@@downbytheriver501 10-4 and I appreciate the detailed response! I never mind when a machine has more power 😎
Thanks, I'll check out your vids. Are you running stock wheels/tires? (I guess the videos will also tell me;)
I just found a demo Defender Pro for list of $16.9k / 36 miles... might be time to jump on that deal! Cheers.
@@freidrichnietzsche6643 no problem. I upgraded to 30” maxxis liberties. Great tires and wear very slow. Still over half tread at 4,000 miles.
They aren’t getting rid of the xp 1000 ranger.
You could buy a truck for the price of one crazy prices.
Great Information!
Wow! I was super interested until you shared the price. What a shame.
I’m still scratching my head as per why Polaris didn’t make a long bed version like canam did with the defender pro. 🤔
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!
Sell your F150 and buy our UTV that’s not street legal in most states costs as much and has no mirrors, turn signals, or horn stock. Spend $40+ grand on something you should just use a truck for.
I can build a pretty sweet TRD for $50,000 😳
It is so good and expensive that for the money it's missing door mirrors, really for that money and not even have door mirrors wow
And on top,WHY do I need a helmet to drive it,never seen a farmer driving his tractor with a helmet
I was considering purchasing one of these…. But you have most of the automakers coming out with lower price pickup trucks…. Pickup truck for the Win
Well............if I win the lottery!
My biggest issue with the Ranger is the shifter. Why is P located all the way down, unlike a vehicle? Never made sense to me.
The shifter is closest to the driver while it's in Park, when you put it in Drive the shifter is up and out of your way. Why would you want it the other way around?
I am with you. I absolutely hate the shifter. It is stupid. You would have thought by now they would have fixed that.
Completely over priced... but it's easy to sell when you are provided one ti evaluate and review... free.
I will just buy a 2003 regular cab Tacoma 4c4 instead. Go the same places, haul more stuff and be more comfortable doing it too. Way better ranch rig and hunting rig plus highway legal.
Im looking to go from a Defender to this. How fast does it run
How do you like the defender?
@@FAFO_24 ill never own another CAN AM
Top of the line pickups are 90K+. So, 40K for a side by side is about where we're at. Thanks Biden.
Shittiest warranty ever. I know, I had to fight for Polaris to honour the warranty on my RZR900.
Imagine the Toyota Tacoma or T100 that you could get and build for 40k....
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.
F150 can drive on road AND trail
Why not just put fox shocks on it with a reservoir!!
2:23 - Wait, "Outgoing Model".... so the current Ranger is going away, to be replaced by the XD? This is the first I've heard of that.
The XD is built for a different market than the current Ranger, and priced way higher than what most average UTV buyers are willing to spend for a Ranger for, or use it for too.
Man all the camera movements make impossible to watch. I really tried
I wish them well. N.F.W.
Down here in Louisiana, this machine, no matter what you add, can’t be made street legal.
I get the point that it’s better off road than a truck but it doesn’t go on road.
Lol so many companies have already done all that stuff i wish polaris would grow up and put there big boy pants on
Used Ford Ranger does everything for less money along with a million other examples. This is purely a flex at that price 😂
$45,000 bucks!
Screw that, I’ll buy a Jeep!!!
I come to the comments to see what poor people think
Best comment yet.
Seems to me the 1500 payload is irrelevant. What would you be hauling where you would actually be able to fit 1500lbs in that bed.
Gravel, crushed stone, camp fire wood.
If people were as smart as the manufacturer and didn’t buy everything at these completely outrageous prices the out the door price wouldn’t be nearly as much. But you got people that have to have the so called best of the best or one up everyone else. So that’s how they’re able to markup their prices so outrageously.
Interesting video, as I just ceramic coated this same UTV today. You are way to picky on your description, but I do understand your need to get likes and all that jazz. No matter what any producer makes and markets, there will be people like you criticizing every detail to make it seem like you know better and get hits to make your self moar
So it’s a non-street legal pickup truck 🤔
Price is a laugh.
They always say Dustin free on the inside would somebody please take a brand new one? Keep the damn window shut and ride it in the dust to see if it is dust free oh my God I don’t think they are dust free
Pheasant with a rifle is illegal
Can you have a conversation above 20 miles an hour?
Your so wrong. Anyone with a $40k+ utv is just flexing their wealth.
I could have 4 half tons on the deer lease with AC that works in TX heat for the price of ONE of these rangers.
This guy is paid by Polaris most likely. He never mentioned endurance, for instance fuel consumption on level ground steep hills and rock crawling. He should have mentioned how much fuel he used over the period of his review....
Get a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
Yes it's expensive, but comparing it to an XP1000 or a Can Am is just futile. It's a new rig that does everything better than either one of these. If it's not your thing don't buy it, but there are plenty in line that see the difference ..........and I can't wait till mine comes in!
Used jeep wrangler.
Two door Jeep wrangler….
If I put 40000$ into myTacoma I'll bet this guy that I'll b more comfortable and go anywhere he can go. Why the hell would anybody spend that kind of money. Maybe just for the look at me part
Great video.. but stand still I almost barfed watching it... you don't stop moving!!! WTF
I’m sorry but 40 grand for a buggy is just not in this ol blue collar boys budget! Prolly never will be to be honest. But on the other side of that same coin, you won’t see me buying a 100K pick up truck!! All these manufacturers are overpricing everything! Heck even groceries are overpriced these days. I’d like to be able to buy ribeye steaks for the whole family at least once a month; used to do it almost weekly. I ain’t had a fresh ribeye steak in nearly a year. Maybe I shoulda just took the blue pill and stayed in the matrix!!
Polaris fan boy for sure. Says he stayed clean in Polaris's best sealing cab..did anyone else notice the dust ALL OVER inside of the cab? What a joke. Over priced machine
So, you ride all day with your windows up?
Defender Pro is the way to go not the defender 6by6.
The 1000 is not gutless whatsoever but when you put 6 wheels maybe that's the problem
At the end of the day it's still a polaris. Over priced pile of junk.
More recalls then zebra stripes
I looked this in person and it's awful
Sell you truck lol more like save tens of thousands and buy an old truck. SxS ownership is basically paying more to do it worse
Can am defender limited has cabin air filter stop with the miss information about these overpriced units
My 2017 John Deere Gator 835R has a cabin air filter too lol. That’s nothing special. I do like some of their ideas but at the end of the day it’s still a Polaris.
over priced plastic, dont care what anyone says. nice looking machine but not worth 40,000
Overpriced
This is just an overpriced plastic truck that isn't street legal.
Street legal where I live. depends on the township.
Can-Am Defender much better
@BikerDon..............................I totally AGREE!
👎
Can-am are good, but the interior on Polaris is much nicer.
@@MrBubinski777what good is an interior if its in the shop?
Looks like a clown vehicle If you’re a clown by yourself one
The door the dam door put it the other way
The price automatically makes me never consider it. I'll buy a Ford Ranger or Tacoma for the same fucking price. It's beyond stupid, you'll only ever see these in videos just like this, no real consumer will buy one.
toys are expensive.... and I'm real. a little stupid though :D
