So a good portion of this video is just trying to explain away why this thing doesn't want to climb steep hills at altitude, and telling people, its a feature not a flaw, and you just need to wait out the over temp code and try again? Not exactly safe if you're in the middle of a steep technical crawl. And, basically can't feather the throttle, but instead have to floor it? That's the best way to break an axle or drive shaft. Also not the way to navigate a steep technical crawl. I know this isn't really the machine for that stuff, but it WILL be used for that, and it should be safe, and get you up a hill. Is this explanation just to quell all the talk about this thing being an insanely expensive bust on hills? And, not for nothing, but those drive modes should be built int your foot. want to accelerate slowly? Step on the throttle gently. Want to leave a rooster tail? Step harder. You shouldn't have to select a drive mode to determine how hard it accelerates. Even 700 HP Hellcat can leave a stoplight slowly and gently, or leave it with a 150 foot burn out simply by a difference in how hard you step on the skinny pedal, and without selecting a "drive mode". I'm confused why this needs to be a thing that just further over-complicates this machine.
They acknowledge there is a problem.... Wait for the transmission to cool down when it overheats. Later they tell you to heat up the clutch disc. Yep mine is still at the service dept less than a thousand miles.
I've experienced this exact same issue, and complained about it to the reps at the dealer show in Vegas. I was told to check the trans oil level and make sure the trans wasn't overheating. We ride at 5000+ ft 24/7, and often get up to 10k. To have a machine that won't climb up steep hills at high elevation is extremely disappointing
Polaris needs to build these road legal at the factory.. You can add blinkers and a horn to get a license plate here to drive in town.. They should be come that way for that much money!
putting it to the wood to get over an obstacle is not an acceptable answer, but a good way to get out of control fast, but Polaris knows that! if I had seen this video before I bought one, I would have bought something different.
Please tell me that you've seen the Rufus the Bull videos of him beating up on the Polaris Ranger of his owner? That thing is built tough! Please do a video with Rufus he has a huge following!
First, thank you for describing/demonstrating Torque Boost more fully than the note I got from our dealer. I affectionately called this the grenade option after reading the note. I am now much more comfortable doing the procedure on the trail when required. My questions are: 1. What is actually happening with the front differential in the AWD mode with the rear differential locked and the front differential locked (light illuminated) (approximately 5:10 into the video). At this point in the video Pat clearly says that “all four wheels are pulling”. This statement directly conflicts with my understanding of the classical 4WD function on past Polaris vehicles. Videos for our past XP 1000 clearly indicate that the fronts are freewheeling until the rear wheels slip and then they engage through magnets to begin pulling. 2. On the demonstrations of the modes, specifically AWD and Ultra Turf, it is clear that the fronts are not tearing up the grass in either mode. Are those front wheels pulling at this point in the video? 3. The confusion was further highlighted during the Torque Boost demonstration, approximately 18:23 into the video, when Pat seems to indicate that the lone rear wheel in Ultra Turf was starting to spin. If that wheel is spinning why did the fronts not engage and pull? If this is supposedly a good trail riding mode then I would assume that all three wheels would be engaged and pulling at this point. 4. Last question, what happens if you make a mistake and perform the Torque Boost procedure while in Ultra Turf? Will the system not do Torque Boost or is there the potential for tearing out an axle?

100% on point.

The transmission looks simple but l bet Polaris would charge $15K to replace.😮
Finally, I know how crop circles are made. LOL

Did Polaris put a parking brake on this machine
Which drive mode will create the most downhill engine braking?
What’s the MPG?
I haven't burned any gas while it sits at the dealership service dept for transmission issues
Jimmy Kimmel 😂😂😂
Can we have a 100hp sportsman please lol
That’s not far off. With Canam at 101hp Polaris won’t be far behind….
@@pajamatime5750 yeah I know. Hopefully soon. I don’t want to have to switch brands now lol 😂
