- Join us for a full UTV Review on our 2019 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar edition full review. We have had this Polaris Ranger for just about a full year now and have put it to use out on our farms, as well as some trail riding fun, some UTV mudding and a few obstacles to test out some of is limitations. We'll go through all of the Polaris Ranger options that I ordered for specific reasons, how they have worked out and whether or not they were worth the extra cash. From the extra heavy duty Maxxis 6 ply UTV tires, to the glass windshield, tip out windshield, and more we'll cover it! Also some great trail riding experiences, as well as a near tipping incident that I needed the wireless UTV winch to save my butt on an unknown trail riding adventure. The heat and air conditioning was a real big factor in my selection for this particular Polaris Ranger model. Oh, and before I forget, you can check out our POLARIS RANGER PLAYLIST HERE:
• FIRST RIDE 2019 POLARI...
Between them both, this UTV allows you to get outside more often with the heat and A/C in the fully enclosed cab of the Polaris Northstar unit than you otherwise might have. We paid full price for this machine with our own hard earned cash, and we are not some organization that gets these machines for free to review! This is real world stuff here after paying a lot of cash for this Polaris Ranger! Watch how we've put it to use pulling a heavy drag for making food plots, a heavy cultipacker for finishing soil preparation and food plot planting, as well as a heavy duty trailer to haul things around the property. We also use this machine to finish gravel work on our mile long gravel driveway with a heavy, weighted drag to smoothen out the gravel. Overall, after a year this thing has performed very well and as far as the overheating recall Polaris has treated us well in getting it taken care of.

Thanks for the review Kapper. My Honda finally died about 6 months ago after 32 years. Just bought myself a new Polaris 570 Sportsman last week. It has some nice add -on's like tire/rim kit and plow etc.Was thinking of you while sitting there because 5 ft away a Ranger Northstar 1000 in the show room. Had to check it out. Very nice machine.Was funny when the salesman came back and was looking for me.I had got up and I was in the cab checking it out and cranked the radio up. He gave it his all to sell it. This one had a ice fishing hut on the back.!!
lmao love the story man!! Pretty nice isn't it!!?? You will enjoy the 570 no doubt, great machines. Take care
how she doin now bro?
I can't believe it's been a year already! I remember the exciting journey and amazing dealership.
Well, it is close to a year anyway! lol. Still a long time flew by eh? Thanks
I bought same machine you did,at the same time. I had a lot of problems in the first 6 months, but now I hope all the problems are gone, it's been great the last 6 months. Got the same flip out windshield, love it , love the heat and air condition. Hope our machines stay trouble free , good luck to ya ! Keep them North star videos coming!!!
Awesome, good to hear! yeah, with any new machines like this (totally redesigned) there are going to be some glitches, but like you said, lets hope its only a few and we are solid now! Thanks!
Been doing lots of research for sure on this UTV, and as far as I can tell it’s a definite buy. Awesome review and been watching ya vids to see the performance and I am impressed. Great review Kapper definitely feel like I got to learn more about this machine through here than I would online. Keep up the great content man, you definitely earned a sub from me!
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for the nice feedback! Best of luck! Take care
Gawd, time flies! Seemed like only a few months ago, you got this one,....good viewing!
Thanks man I appreciate it. Fun stuff to look back at !
My ohh My....how time flies when you're having so much FUN. Be looking forward to the 5 year review.
LOL yeah I'll have to put that one on my calendar!
Very nice machine I heard so many people complain about the old Polaris machine but now the new model is getting better nice video explanation
Thank you. All machines have trouble at some point, but still enjoying this one!
I do like that XP1000, Kap. You're right about the cab. Having cold AC and hot jams to listen to while cruising is what it's made for, ha. Don't know how weather is there but we're getting hammered with rain and thunder at the moment. Later
yeah the cab is sweet:) Icy rain, a little snow and more rain here!!!
8:30 i think it comes on when the ADC (Active decend control) is turned on. ADC gives you a controlled decend in steep hills by using the engine breaking instead of the breaks. I have it on my sportsman 570 and it works amazing
How the heck do you turn it on!? I'd love that feauture! Thanks.
@@kapperoutdoors on the sportsman 570 you push the yellow button on the right side of the handle bars all the way to the right. Then the icon pops up on the speedo
I knew you would love the machine bro! I love mine i have the same machine. I also put a headache rack on the back with a winch. The winch is awesome you can pull your deer or whatever right up into the bed having it tilted.I had a problem with the clutch at first but it had a recall on it good to go now.
Awesome, yeah I thought a deer winch would be sweet! Maybe someday! Thanks man. I think it was your channel with the Bobcat T450? Good stuff, thanks.
i just got my 2023 and love it haven’t got a hole lot of riding in but looking forward to it did get a recall on the brake lines 😢
Congrats you will love that machine!
Bought a big truck found the ranger to small of a cab for me to be in and out of all day .nice to see the videos you made
Thanks 👍
A year already! Doesn't seem that long ago! Great review Joe on the Polaris!
Thanks, fun looking back on this one. did you see all the green plants out there!! Good reminder of spring and summer :)
Yes I did! Looking forward to spring & summer! :)
So glad you did this. Just got my 21 Ranger XP
Awesome! Congrats and best of luck! Hope you enjoy it!
Joe I found something out about the Bobcat Track Skid Loader you can get a remote control for it and operate it remotely you could operate it from the cab of your Polaris Ranger and not have to have the pucker factor and If Mrs. Kapper has ever flown the drone you could get some great footage and if you were to trade it in the remote works on the T450 to the T870 also keeping you from being trapped if the main and emergency exit get blocked by a tree limb
Nice!!! We'll have to see if I go Bobcat though! But that would be cool!
did you end up purchasing a Track Skid Steer? I know this comment was 3 months ago but my personal opinion on those are Kubota makes the nicest smoothest track skid steer in the business. we have an SVL90-2HFC at work and I haven't been in one that I like better.
Good to see ol Mike again. Bout time to put him to work again isn’t it?
yeah I wish we could be doing some ground work out there! Did you see all the green weeds!!? Good reminder of summer!
The only thing I didn't like about my Polaris 500 HO was that it was too loud for a stock ATV . I brought it back .
Nice machine man im thinking about getting a used ranger 900 can't wait
Best of luck! We've had several Rangers over the years, and even the old one we had was a tank, and very tough and reliable.
This is something I’ve been wanting since I rode in my cousins years ago along with a trailer . One day one day !
Keep dreaming, and save some pennies when you can. Maybe you can swing a used one after they've been out a few years! Awesome machine, thank you and good luck!
Any issues with water leaking into the cab when it rains or going through puddles?
Wow. Time is going WAY too fast! Great review vid, Kap!
Yeah, maybe I can reverse us all a few years in my hot tub time machine! lmao
@@kapperoutdoors Lmao!
I have had the over heating issue in my 2021 Polaris ranger north star on -10 degree nights while pushing snow with a plow after a few hours.
They put a new fan in under recall have not had a problem since. Good luck
Thanks for sharing this has been very informative & useful to see!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
For the price you should be able to run that sickle bar mowing machine setting in front of this unit
Love your videos on the Ranger Northstar! Would like for you to review our bumpers for the Northstar sometime!
I took a look at your rear bumper kit. Not sure it would work with the rear camera? They tuck that dang thing way up in there, so it looks like the bumper might block it. But I like the idea of a rear bumper. Holler back if you have any new Polaris products that might work! We Does the bumper kit interfere with the hitch at all? We do have our Polaris without a rear cam in KY.
The icon you have not seen. That is active descent control. Have to ask dealer if your machine has it.
I would think if there is a light on the dash it has it? But not many people seem to know about it, and I've never seen it come on while riding on any hills... And I've gone over the manual and all the buttons and so forth... Thanks
that one icon on the screen i think is for active hill decent mode? or something. i love the video, cant wait to see more with that polaris in it.
Thanks, man hopefully someone will let us know otherwise I might have to look in the manual!! LOL smh... :)
@@kapperoutdoors it might just be a warning light of some kind, a way to test the active decent control is put it in low gear and in full awd and as you go down a somewhat steap hill that you know is safe for you, try having the throttle closed and just let the engine braking do its thing and see if that light comes on. if it comes on and the braking works, that light tells you its active. it does not come on and the braking still works, then its a warning light telling you there is something wrong.
Saw the radio was set at 100.7 good classic rock station.
Really good review on the Polaris 👍 are they road legal over in the USA🤔
Out in rural areas on side roads you can, but not technically road legal.
Polaris’s are best ride ! & Can-Am’s are best ride! Most of time I bought atv Polaris whole my life right now I sold it of sportsman 1000xp. Later I’m looking ranger 1000xp camo or can am Defender Xt Cab HD 10 camo or Defender 6x6 DPS HD10 camo first have fix come my health of spine cord L1 to L6 there going be 3rd shot next month see how is going ! But my body fall part because I was work very hard 6 days week too much pain , surgery & many things in my health oh well need first then get better like 90 to 95 % then go buy toys who know !
Get your body fixed up, then go have some fun!! Everyone who works hard ought to be able to have a little fun in life! Best wishes.
Great video Joe!
Thank you I appreciate it. Took quite awhile to dig back for all that stuff, but I do try to make good quality :)
Wow that year flew by. I was hoping Matt would of tried crossing the boat channel😂😂. Wow did not realize you liked three to four fingers of cherry flavoring in your Coke!🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹😂😂
Nice review, but no mention of cup holders, your slipping Kapper!❤️. First thing I do is like the video.
I thought hell I the first to watch and 53 comments now 1 like. Common Kapper fans hit the like or even dislike those y-tube algorithms are holding Joe and Mrs Kapper back.
I’d love to have one of these someday
It is an awesome machine no doubt!! Good luck, thanks.
Hey Kapper 👋🏽, thank you for the video. This will help me with my purchase decision. Here in Germany the price for the Hunter Edition with cabin and winch is 33000 Euro = 36200 USD. Can I keep it on the road? I drive 60 percent on the road. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Hessen / Germany
Good luck! You can drive it on the road all you want if legal.. Just wear the tires a little faster. Best wishes!
Thank you, have a nice weekend🙋♂️
Great review!!
Do you regret not having the back country edition with the sealed electronics and engine sorkle. I'm looking at a 2019 episode xps 1000 premium $22500 100 hrs camo edition very sharp. Backcountry is the next model up...thank you
Can't say for sure, I never really looked into the back country edition but I probably should have. I don't remember why I chose not to, maybe I did not want a more jacked up machine and suspension. For me I need the softest ride available . but I do enjoy both of our Northstars! Thanks
the one on the hill is hill descent control
I've never seen it show.. Guess I'll have to find some steeper hills!! LOL
@@kapperoutdoors no that should have a switch to turn on
The question is will you wear it out or will it wear you out.
Thats a dang good question!!! Guess we'll see!
Ha! I like flavoring too. Great video.
Thank you 😋!
Great video
Thanks! Hope to see you back again! Take care
Nice rig for sure!
No doubt!
There is no true long term test of these, I wanna see how they are performing after 10-15k miles and 1000 hours. I have a 2020 ranger and wish I would have gotten a Japanese model. The ranger has been vapid so far but it is so plain to be that expensive. And come on you gotta get mr pibb at subway 😂🤙🏽 good video
Well we will find out in a few years! But Rangers have always been very tough machines! Good luck! Mountain Dew, LOL
@@kapperoutdoors no complaints with the ranger so far, it does what Polaris says. I will make it last as long as I can 👍🏽
Joe I may trade my Defender for a Ranger can 3 adults fit in the cab?
Yes 3 fit, a little snug, but fit.
"A little bit of flavor" "three or four fingers"
lol nice pickup... :)
Any problems with the polaris north star, not really a big polaris fan but this is one I'd like to have
So far so good. We love the A/C and Cab!!! Huge in a hot and humid climate like we have.
😎Greetings from Germany Kapper👋🏽
Greetings! And thank you! Have a great evening!
@@kapperoutdoors danke😎
How's the windshield holding up seen a few bad reviews on it trying to decide weather or not to get it
Working just fine, not problems. Leaks a little when you wash it, but the wipers work fantastic on the real glass.
How many miles you have on it now
not sure. I don't drive long distance much, mostly just on our farms.
Cabs are the best in the winter also and raining and high winds and and and LOL
No doubt!! We both love having the cab!! Thanks
Air conditioning. SOLD!!
BAM! Let me tell you it is worth it if you can afford it!!! :)
@@kapperoutdoors 👍
What driving mode do you typically use turf mode, 2wd, 4wd and is it ok to use turf mode 99% of the time I’m a newbie just bought a 2020 Polaris Ranger 1000 SOHC
Good luck with the new machine. Yes, use turf mode to save on wear, only if you need the other two to get out of a spot or go through some nasty stuff.
Kapper Outdoors thanks, I was thinking the same thing like they say great minds think alike!
When riding on dirt and sand how much gets in the cab my can am is horrible
Well I don't like doing this much but just this once we were having some fun. Hate cleaning them afterwards! Good luck, thanks
How do you keep the battery dry with it under the seat? Do you check for corrosion frequently?
Forgot you have full cab. Does the battery get wet with the cab on the Polaris?
I think the battery is up high in the front, stays dry.
Can you do a test on the doors how water tight are they I have a lot of creeks on trails around my house would like to know how good them door seals are without letting water in
They do let some water in, but unless you stay submerged it wasn't that bad.
@@kapperoutdoors thanks for replying I will do a lot of trail riding with my family planing on the 6 seater with power windows
👍
ALL NORTH STARS COME WITH THOSE TIRES AND A GLASS WIND SHIELDS THEY ARENT OPTIONS THAT JUST HOW THEY COME FROM THE FACTORY
I'm pretty sure you could get glass or plexi glass for the windshield and there are different tire options. It's been awhile but that is what I remember when working up a deal. I could be wrong, but don't think so on that stuff. Thanks.
U need to adjust your shocks that thing is saggin with all that extra cab weight you have no ground clearance
yeah but I love the super soft ride!! lol
That thing cost more than my last 2 vehicles combined.
I'm not doubting that! It is expensive!! But we really enjoy it!

🇨🇴♿felicitaciones kapper, Alguien sabe de un polaris que no nesecito o este Guardado o.para reparar o una cuatrimoto estoy en Colombia y merezco ayuda para tener un trasporte así llamen escriban les agradezco colaboración es verda lo que puedan ayudar escucho,Colombia gracias
hi fist comment
I have that same exact machine. Biggest POS I have ever owned. It’s been in the shop more that 50% of its life. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER POLARIS!!!!!!
Sorry to hear that. All machines have issues from time to time, hopefully yours gets ironed out soon! There is a lot of new stuff on this machine and electronics to boot! Good luck!
@@kapperoutdoors it’s just been one thing after another since it was new. I did send in ECU to get tuned and flashed. Should get it back next week. Upgrading clutch also.
Does the cab leak at all any when it rains?
A little bit yes. Not enough for me to haul it back in for warranty work. Next service I will mention it to them. But just a few drops, not like anything extreme. Thanks
@@kapperoutdoors I just seen alot of reviews on the northstars with complaints on leaks seems to me it should be an easy fix....I would hate to spend that much on a machine for it to leak....all your videos great btw
