I went out and purchased a Polaris 1000 based on this review. Thank you so much - it was exactly what I wanted in an off-road vehicle.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Zavier Jakob Instablaster :)
@Avery Hudson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Avery Hudson It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Zavier Jakob no problem =)
I just bought a 2020 Ranger EPS for hunting. So far I love it. Great unit.
Well done... very timely. Was at first disappointed to hear of the HP difference between the 1000 and XP1000 as I didn't know they were actually different. However, your videos have helped me decide that 1) the 1000 premium will be well suited for work around our place in MT and 2) have enough power to have fun on the backroads with the family. I think I will go with the 1000 for the price, which will enable me to purchase a top, windshield, and half doors while still being below the 1000 XP price. Thanks
Farmers love the beverage holders like my father. Believe it or not he has used to to drive a wheel driven hay rake! Lol
I plan on using it for my wheel rake too
How about a comparison of Honda's 4x4 system and Polaris' AWD system. Put them through mud, rock and stump crawling where you would need to start off slow and need to spin the tires a bit to get going. I know Steve would come up with some awesome comparison tests! I'd be interested to see strengths and weaknesses of each.
I went with the Can Am 6x6 1000, the longer bed and the bed lift is nice out on the farm
Glad to hear Polaris re-designed the clutch. I have a 2019 Ranger 1000 XP Crew and the clutching is really poor. Makes the Mode switch (work/std/perf) almost useless. The engagement is abrupt with the trans banging and lurching the machine forward. Several after market companies have kits to fix this problem. I also hope Polaris fixed the shifting. Stopping on a slight incline or rough surface makes changing from one gear (ex. reverse to forward) to another almost impossible. I did NOT have the opportunity to test drive the unit before buying it. If I did I would have NEVER purchased the Ranger. Hope they get it right with the 2020.
i can tell you not only polaris has this "problem"...:-/
I have a 2018 XP1000 ranger and everything you said is true! I find it easier to shift from forward to reverse by first popping it into neutral just before coming to a dead stop. Otherwise the tension in the trans binds up the shifter making it difficult to change gears. Of course, it doesnt like it if there is any kind of speed at all! I bought this "all-new" model due to the hype they made about it being so much better over the 2017 XP1000 when in reality, it has exactly the same transmission flaws! I even got the 2-year warranty since I pre-ordered mine but they wont touch it because they say "that is normal" haha.
A little concerned with the air intake location. Looks to be similar to that in previous models (rzr570 etc...) Hope that they have improved the prefilter and ducting- previous models ended up with “dusted” engines with that design. It was a huge improvement when they moved it to the front.
great video, I
just purchased one.. its a great machine..
Definitely worth upgrading especially improvements drivetrain parts compared to old model. Great vid👍
Upgrade to not Polaris
What is the difference in machine noise compared to the XP 1000
I'll stick with my 2019 Yamaha Wolverine x2. 10 year Guarentee on the belt and itscbuilt like tank. Locker front Differential and built to work and play. And does both extremely well. Smooth , quiet and dependable.
Good review. Thanks for sharing. Polaris makes a great product.
Going to get a Can Am outlander 1000 6x6 for exploring the forest and not power sporting .
Good choice!!
It’s not even a matter of if .... it’s a matter of as soon as I get some cash I’m getting this baby ..
Polaris has a dream. .. to be Can Am, and not be a maintenance nightmare with a bad ride and unacceptable cabin engine noise. Sad because they aren't bad looking.
In comparison to the Honda which of the two has a more comfortable seat? Does the back of the seat reclines a little for a more for comfort and longer use?
Get a Honda, you'll be glad you did.
I don't think either has adjustable seats. The polaris will most likely ride better though as they usually have the best suspension and a larger cockpit. Since it's a cvt it will require more maintenance.
Al UTV should have winch standard and just add it to the cost.
No kidding. Just bought a 20 xp...1100 dollar option for a frigging winch. Ridiculous
So one of the things that makes me hesitant about the Ranger is hearing about how it handles on snow and ice. Most of my use is hunting, and in Montana means on forest service roads that have been packed down into solid ice. Many of these have steep drop offs so I want something that is going to handle well in these conditions and not fish tail and slide around. I also would like something that coming down the steep roads I can just let the compression slow me down and not free wheel. I’ve heard that the Honda pioneer 1000 does this better. What are your thoughts?
Tuned my xp up to 118hp. Still want more!!! Lol
Hey Jim, what tune did you use...thinking about getting the Gilomen.
Ga bulldogs fan That’s it. If you haven’t upgraded your clutch do that too!! Terry’s a good guy. He’ll talk to you.
Is that the one with spring and weights for $500
Also, what is your top speed now
Ga bulldogs fan actually HP is only 100. 118 is with the cams. I was looking at them at the time and planned on doing that tune and had it on the brain when I made that comment. The spring weight and ECU Tune only gives you 100ish HP but is EXTREMELY noticeable. Shortly after that I had issues with the stock clutch sticking so I upgraded that to the p90xt clutch that he has. Since putting that clutch in I’ve gotten to 78 but not much of anywhere to need that kind of speed around here. Decided, personally, not to do the 118hp tune. Think I’m just gonna wait and get a new machine as I DO use this machine for what it was intended for. Still, if I ever buy a new ranger in the future I seriously doubt I put a mile on it without putting the Gilomen tune on it first. Great tune and well worth the money. Same goes for that clutch upgrade. Good luck!!!
Seriously… review a hisun…. Like, dont compaire it to what they say its compairable to…. Compare it to what you get for the same money….
Like a mx mule, vs the hisun 750…
Or vs the polaris 570…
I would LOVE a full review of all of the cheap UTVs that are full size chassis… or at least close to it… i doubt i’m alone here…
Dollar for dollar, i find it hard to believe the P500 from honda is worth it…. That thing is like a rancher with seats…
Great video, your videos are all very cool👍, keep it up, is there more from the Ranger XP1000? Greetings from Germany👋🏽
Like any other Polaris does this one only last a year before plenty of problems?
my xp 900 over 3000.00 in the last 6 mths
Base model and go with portals and oversized tires, Is what I'd do.
OK Barry I will need you to do a video of my new ride right after you deliver it. OK??
I thick Polaris rangers are amazing
I under your trying to show it towing a few hundred pounds of wood and probably at most 15 pounds of hay but a bad way. Do 1000lbs at least as the crew with every seat taken is the same as your test
Solid updates but I’ll stay with my Can-Am Defender XT.
Flack Cat can am for life
Very good idea!!
i have an options to buy 2018 ranger 1000 brand new out of box for about 4000 - 5000 less. Should buy this 2018 brand new or pay more for 2020.
So I just watched this video. I’m on the market for a utv and this one and the canam defender hd8 have my attention. Can anyone who still have their Ranger please tell me how they still feel about it? Any issues or recommendations? I’m just looking for a good work horse and occasionally some trail riding. But mostly work!
just get a can am defender hd10 more bang for the $$$.
You got it!!
By chance can you do a comp video of the Gravely Atlas and the Polaris Ranger of equal or comparable specs highlighting speed, hauling, towing, ride, versatility, I am interested in something I can use for both hunting and landscaping.
Mule FXR or MX Pro
How does the Polaris xp compare to the pioneer as far as reliability?
Is the roof and windshield stock or do you have to pay for it.
You always pay
Polaris is super cheap stakes when it comes to any accessories. They are just too expensive.
Who makes the better machine ? Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Polaris, someone else?
Can anyone help?!?!?!
I’m looking to find LED replacement bulbs for my 2020 Ranger 1000 eps. Anything I come across is for the XP. I just want simple plug and play upgrades for the headlights, something that will work with no worries
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Be well
Craig
Quiero uno me URGENTE pero no money ♿gracias por crear ilusiones
Hay bales 😂😂 that’s straw
It's all the same to city slickers lol.
Has anyone tried the crew version of this??
Still can’t get everything you can in a Teryx for the same price and you don’t get 3 yr. warranty, oh and sit one more person in way better seats
Lol are you really comparing a teryx to a ranger?
The only thing the Ranger has on the Kawasaki is horsepower. Amazing how many get sucked in by numbers. The Kawasaki can work and play hard without needing a mobile tool shed to keep it repaired. The Kawasaki will smoke the ranger on the trails. You need a Polaris General to compete with the Kawasaki.
JohnnyRebKy How about the fact that the Kawasaki still has the motor under the seats. Any water you go through steams into the cab and burns you. Also when you snorkel them the snorkels go in between the seats. Also when you are utilizing all the seats you have 2 inches of bed space. Best one I heard yet was the ranger crew was to long. Lol pulled up to his Kawasaki and my ranger crew was 6” longer lmao. Full size bed, full size seats in ranger and 6” longer. Count me in.
Correction 20 inches. Longer.
Michael yeah its almost 2 feet longer u idiot. Kawasaki is better have fun maintaining that pos. I plow with a ranger and it breaks twice a year. My honda never breaks
Have you tested the mpg on this machine? I haven't found any info about the mpg anywhere
When will the 2020 Polaris ranger be available at the dealerships? And could you do a review on the new 2020 arctic cat Prowler Pro please, looking at getting one, but there is not any real good reviews out there on them.
JD4440 I’m assuming this fall
pulling a load in high gear is a big no no!
Had mine for 4 months. Spent the last 3 in the shop waiting for parts. Do not get.
How come Polaris lists the ranger 1000 at 100 HP on the website?
I've only seen 61
@@scottwatson9546 I thought it was 82 on a brochure I have
13tsd $ !? omg- here in europe theyre f.kin expensive- they start around 20.000 euros...:-/
Ahhhhhh socialist buerocrats
Keep voting for socialist politicians who tax the hell out of everything you touch. I love Europe but that’s the only thing that has kept me from moving there
@@eljona1665 believe me- theres MUCH more that sucks...specially if youre an offroader- the GREEN community gets bigger evry year and they hate us...!!
Define "Best".
Why do people say riding when it's clearly driving? 😉
Its an ATV hobby thing. You always say your taking the Skidoo or Quad out for a ride. Probably something that's come down from farmers and ranchers who replaced their horses with these types of vehicles.
Like how quads guys say a quad is a bike when its not
My Dad has a 2015? Ranger. Its been a workhorse for him. Does Not use it as much as he'd like too though cause the dog doesn't like riding in it. 😂
No better company
Ranger 570 is all i need $9000.00
I bought one for 10,300
Looks like a great vehicle. ...but I think I would get a Kawasaki Mule.
Forget kawasucki Honda or Yamaha would be a much better choice
John Grytbakk I agree. Kawasaki makes a solid product.
had one thats right had one its a pile of shit.
26” tires, not wheels.
I’d rather have a Kawasaki Teyrx. Less power yes... but also less HEADACHE.
1000 Miles before Servicing the CLUTCHes!!.. OMG. NOT BUYING ONE NOW!! Yamaha is looking good with there 10 year 100 000 mile belt warranty..
What is the top speed on this?
I read 56mph
I couldn't see in the video, does the plain 1000 bumper have tow points?
You can see a photo of a base model in this article on TFLOffroad.com - www.tfloffroad.com/2019/07/all-new-2020-polaris-ranger-1000-arrives-to-replace-ranger-xp900/
It seems like there are a couple of tow points up front.
Honda has the best transmission in the industry f-those CVTs they're crap in cars and crap in utvs
Still has a belt
I just paid $13,000 for a 2020 Honda Pioneer 1000
And it has a transmission
Seems comparable to a John Deere XUV835
The competitors are all 800cc or less. Polaris is only worth buying, if it's a Northstar
That’s what I’m looking at is a 2021 xp 1000 Northstar premium, but I keep reading people having problems so I’m not sure what the hell to buy.
😍😍😍😍😍
61 horsepower for 1000 ? you gotta be kidding!!!!. cfmotos horsepower for 1000 is 79! i think its gonna horsepower war!!! yamaha and honda dont seem like they want to release their horsepower numbers!!!.....shhhh!!!....SHHHHHH its a secret
Best until it breaks down
What kind of problems have you encountered with Polaris?
Clutch service after 2000 miles, double what it was before, no thanks...
ih302 6000 miles 2021
Spend the money bro and buy an adult helmet.
What are useless test on hauling, you need to be at least around a ton to see what kind of balls this thing even has.
How long till you get release this guy. And get some women on your show?
Happiest Freedom Huh?
What the? What the?? Yeah I liked this channel for a while. there is no interest in watching anymore. At least till they get some woman to start hosting.
