We are happy with our 2023 Polaris Ranger North Star, made in USA vs Mexico for Defender. Maybe Honda will make a full hvac cab someday.

We are very pleased with our Honda Pioneer 1000-3. Lots of power but needs a larger bed with racks.

My dad runs a Ranger for the past 8 yrs and loves it. 4300 miles without issue minus a door latch. I personally run a General Ultimate 4 seater. Works great for work or play. We use it at the farm working food plots, cutting and dragging trees and anything else that needs doing. We also have put 3000 trail miles on it the past 2 seasons and it performs flawlessly there as well. All work and no play go with the Ranger but..... if you want to be able to get out and play a little the General is hard to beat.

FYI friend who has run Commanders for years walked away from them due to increased issues with CanAm. Can't speak to that personally so grain of salt kind of thing

Love my Yamaha viking, 3 seater or 6 , i put a cab and heater on it. Zero issues while coworkers have had their Polaris in the shop or even replaced them because they weren't happy.

The viking is a 700 cc but its been used for years by Yamaha in other machines. Total cost was just over 21000 for the machine, lift ( looks cool) tires , rims , cab , heater and upgraded windshield. Will it do 60 mph nope but its hard to spot game at that speed has a bigger bed and 10 year belt warranty. Fits 3 grown adults plenty of clearance and wouldn't go to any other brand

I also have engine braking

Hatrd my 6 seater polaris too long and would bottom out in rough terrain

If trapping and just putting around a farm, Go with the smaller cc engine. The big boys really like the gas station. No matter what it is Polaris or CanAm.

As big as the ATV's are getting, might as well just get a Jeep.

Been a run on old Suzuki side kicks up here for that reason, seen them with tracks on.

May work for some, but I cross rivers and climb steep mud banks to get to some of my sets, as well as use some old overgrown logging roads. A jeep won't work for that. Then again, this is the same line my grandpa tapped in the 40's, using his boots and pack basket. So I guess what I'm saying is I'm spoiled. Ha!

I had a ranger.

Now I say I’ll never own another Polaris product.



Sold a really nice trouble free Can-Am four wheeler to finance the Ranger. I curse the day.
