I think I want one! Would you buy again? Or would you look at something different?
At first I thought I wanted a RZR, but I like having the larger dump bed for carrying stuff...
whoops maybe move it to off topic... sorry
That's good info - I definitely want engine braking. The place I plan to use it most has some big long downhills.
I'm looking at a ranger because my 2 sportman 500s can't haul stuff very well, when I'm working on our camp property. I could use the ranger to haul tools, gear, materials etc to whatever I'm working on - and still be able to drive down to the range or the marina store - (all private roads). I'll admit, it would be a toy too... there are tons of trails and fun to be had.

I recently sold a Yamaha Rhino 660 for a friend of mine that didn't want to hassle with selling it. I found it very loud and badly underpowered, poor visibility due to the enclosed cab. not my cup of tea.
Since my brother works for Polaris in Minnesota, and we get a new model every 2 years as demo models, and then buy those models at below manufactures price, after depreciation, I can say they are a good product. The main difference between models is the engine. 4wheelers, I have a
XP800X2, which is the 4 wheeler with a dump box, but only has 4 wheels, not the 6 wheel long version, but the frame size of a regular 4 wheeler - great design and sweet 4wheeler, can haul a 300 pound whitetail deer, or just tools - but the larger engine is not needed, and sucks a lot more gas - unless you are driving 20 miles on roads, don't get the bigger engine - they will not get you out of mud any better. the rangers, we have had all of them. My favorite, the regular 500 ranger XP, AGAIN, you do not need the extra engine, just because your beer drinking neighbor says his can do 70mph, lol, well, good for him. on the trail, in woods, or in the yard, the larger engines have so much torch, they are not enjoyable to drive, unless your hauling *** on the road full throttle. the razors were built to combat the competition of the yamaha's. People race these, they sand dune them, and they sell because idiot guys think they have a little pee-pee and this toy will make it grow. Unlessi you want to stroke your wiener with your neighbor in the next seat, or if all you plan on doing is trailering it to a trail network and driving it for the afternoon, don't get one. The one plus they have is certain models are sized to configure with certain trail width dimensions in certain states. short story, great products, don't have to buy the biggest model engine, and can drive them for years with nothing more than oil and maintenance. I have a 8 year old ranger 500 with only oil and grease put into it and I can have any model current offered, but this is perfect for me.!!
As soon as Oregon pulls it's narrow minded head out and allows something similar I will stick with my quad (Sportsman 500) As far as that goes most of us here would appreciate Oregon recognizing quads as motorcycles and giving us the same class-3 designation so we can at least ride on the horizontally numbered roads and not have to comply with the most incredibly complicated road regulations ever - while a street legal dirt bike can go essentially anywhere - as long as the road is legal to be on.Up here in Okanogan Co, you can drive you OVR licensed ATV/UTV on the city streets in several of the towns, (Okanogan, Conconully, Tonasket) and some of the county, state lands and forest service roads, you can cross, but not drive down, a state or US Hwy. (again, limited to roads with speed limits of 35 mph and under, paved or gravel)
