I am still amazed at how expensive these units have become. There was a time when new 4x4 quads were under $10,000 for top of the line units. I miss those days
My wife though they were 3 or 4K, we live in a semi rural area and the other day we were talking and she said “ hey, you should get one of those side by side to ride around with our kid” when I showed her the price... changed her mind immediately
Gary Woodgate she doesn’t know anything about recreational equipment... but I went online to prove my point, unless you’re married you’ll know they won’t believe anything the husband says. Our “next door” neighbor has a shop for lifting side by sides and four wheelers, I knew they are expensive
Priced an RMax and it's similar to these in the mid-high 20k range. Which puts it into SUV numbers. A Honda CRV will have AC/heat, windows, cruise, stereo, a spare, and warranty. I want one for a toy, but 30k is a tough pill to swallow.
I also have a 2019 general. I have over 4000 miles on it. Not one problem. Changed the belt at about 3400 miles just to be safe but the old belt looked like new. Sure do like that xp model..more ground clearance. Wider stance bigger tires, got me thinking about trading up.
I have a stock 2019 General . Main use hunting in east and west Texas. Travel the mountain passes in Colorado. I have pounded this General in every terrain imaginable. Has never let me down.
You forget to mention that Tan RZR is a special edition rock and trail. Special low gear reduction for crawling, six point retractable harness, full under body skid winch high clearance a arms strengthened shafts. I have one with near 4000 miles in tough terrian never had any issues great machine.
I had a rzr 1000 I loved it. But I hunt in the mountains of Canada’s Yukon. So I now have a General. It is a great machine for hauling all of my gear and game. And is still plenty of fun for spirited or challenging trails.
I have such a hard time deciding which one to get. I also hunt so for that I would like the general but I also would like the rzr so I could keep up with my friends on the trails. How was the rzr for hunting?
@@martinwiebe125 The general is about as perfect hunting machine as I could think of. I’m in Canada’s Yukon. I’ve had no problem hauling a full six foot trailer full loaded with wood 🪵 for a weeks worth of firewood for my hunting camp or a full moose. It also has a great fuel range. I have a full windshield for colder months and I also use a $50 heated seat pad meat for use in a car or truck it keeps me good and warm. It is also very capable in rough, muddy or rocky terrain. I don’t have any problem hanging with my friends zrz’s on the trail either. It may not be quite as fast as a rzr 1k but it’s still really fast over 70 mph. I hope this helps.
@@martinwiebe125 Did you decide yet Bro? The General is pretty fast, and you’d be able to keep up. I have one, that I use to hunt with, and it’s perfect for deer hunting. I love mine.

I was the number 1 dealership in the USA for over 15 years and they closed my store for commenting against BLM this year . So did Honda after 52 years and Harley-Davidson after 65 years . I will tell you Polaris is not a reliable unit we worked on them constantly and recalls all the time . Best machine made is Yamaha Polaris is junk
Good, keep your shit opinions to yourself and you won't get yourself in trouble. Trust me your opinions aren't nearly as important as you think. Polaris is still #1 sxs manufacturer by a long shot
I have been subscribed to this channel for a while now and it has inspired me to begin one of my own the content and the editing done are an encouragement each and every day. I strive to increase my channel to be as good as this one!
I had a deposit on the 2021 Rmax then I had to go get some items for my dirt bike at another store and looked at the General. The doors, closure system and storage on the General along with the vast amount of accessories that are available for the General had me change my mind on the Yamaha. I already own the Yamaha Viking and it’s a great machine for its intended use. I’ve seen all the horror stories about Polaris but I believe if you take care of your machine it’ll take care of you so that’s what I’ll do. I owned a Victory Cross Country Tour street bike made by Polaris for six years and it was an awesome machine.not one problem what so ever. I picked up my General last week and took it out for a break in ride. Was hoping for a couple inches of frozen snow on the road but ended up in a muddy mess almost got stuck towing the General had to take it off the trailer to try and get turned around and get the hell out of there and made it. Then got 30 miles on the General in not too bad of conditions and it was a pleasure to drive compared to the Rmax I test drove. My 2 cents worth.
Polaris gets a lot of crap but if people would take care of their machines it would be a different story. Plus there's way more of them out there. If you're riding through mud and water you need to grease the damn thing after you wash it and some people don't even wash the thing then cry the wheel bearing went out.
I'll stick with the old fashion Polaris Ranger Browning Edition. It does everything on the trail and you can load your deer or your hog and still carry materials to work on your deer stand or duck blind. Never had any problems with the belt drive.
GENERAL, fully enclosed cab that seals up better than a RZR. Seats are better too, and not a skinny / narrow seat like the RZR. I didn't realize the General had a tilt wheel. Thanks for showing that. I had a RZR, it only lasted 6 months before I sold it. I hated the ergonomics in it. I'm only 5'9", but there just wasn't enough leg room. I always felt cramped for leg space. Andre - you'd be cramped too based on how tall you are. At the end of the video I noticed how little legroom you had in the RZR.
Man can’t believe how much people are willing to pay for a toy. These cost as much as a full blown car and even some trucks and most the people in my neighborhood don’t use em for anything else besides driving down to Maverik to pickup a 32oz on the weekends
@Dave Iauco I own a ranger xp1000 and polaris 570 with tracks. I dont consider myself poor but alot of people I know dont have anything like that. Even growing up I never expected to own one so yeah. I think I am well off.
The trailing arm suspension on the rzr is far superior for offering a good ride. A Arms just can't compete with a trailing arm setup if ride quality is important to you
I was out on the trails this weekend and the newer RZR power is boarding on too much (obnoxious in the wrong hands) , trails are becoming race tracks. Something else I see the PA DCNR has started rolling out is the placement of hefty boulders meant to allow 58" wide SxS's my 62" just barely fit and I risked getting stuck. Sorry for the spoiler alert but I don't think larger rides are worth buying and being denied entry.
just recently picked up a 2019 General Ride Command edition and have to say it is fun out in the New Mexico desert and up in the mountain trails. plus it has more leg room IMO
@@bethstruck9084 I do I'm in the new Mexico desert dirt and sand everywhere. And I also use turtle was ceramic inside and out or what ever I have something with UV inhibitors.
@@renner8668 I was afraid to spray water inside with the dash electronics possibly getting splashed. (4wd switch, ignition, odometer and radio controls)
Had a rzr 900 for some years, made the trade up to a general xp1000. The things I miss most about my rzr would be the sportier more bucket/racing style seat, the general feels a lot more like riding in a golf cart or like a ranger/utility type ride. I also miss the suicide doors, for some reason they are just more practical for getting into and out of the rig. Time will tell but so far it seems to be just as capable on the trails as the rzr in terms of handling and it's ability to take a beating
General vs RZR? That's an easy choice. Neither. Can't get excited about FCA-level quality. The tough choice is now between the Talon or Wolverine RMAX.
@@gwood701 I would imagine being broke comes with the territory for any product that is a toy. ;). (IE: Jeeps, Vettes, boats, motorhomes, quads.) Well off folks don't look at these with those considerations. And if you are on a budget, I would not pick either of these either.
OK...is it possible to buy the General, and have them add the turbo and other performance parts; getting the best of both worlds for the price of a RZT turbo? Example; you would save on tires because the General already has the better tiress.
Thanks sir. This did help me decide. Speed is not the preference. Utility is what I'm interested in and the Pursuit provides that along with Polaris' fun. Thanks again.
@@wanty72 rzr is not more cramped. Back seat of a 4 seater rzr is about as cramped as the front passenger seat of the general. Front seats on rzr are ok.
@@brandenjoseph604 too cramped? The XP general is wider same front seat room. I just in the '21 XP Razor and '21 XP general today. General is roomier. Just ordered the '22 General XP 1000 4 Trailhead edition.
@@BillsAutoService I'm talking leg room. If you are taller than 6'2, your knees are on the dash in the general xp. The 4 seat general XP is even wider than the two seater shown in this video. It's cramped in the XP4 too, but the plastic doesn't ride just below my knee cap the entire time. One good bump and I'm waiting for the general to tear my patella tendon. The XP4 doesn't have all the plastic in the middle eating up side to side leg room either. Both models are way too cramped leg wise compared to other models like the X3, which can comfortable fit someone 6'5.
All the RZR parts bolt right in and most of the cost is the ecm not sure if the ecm could be reflashed though and everything on the machine is tied to it even the eps
Roger Wheeler the General and the RZR were designed for completely different purposes. I understand the need/want for more hp but if the vehicle isn’t designed for that then it’s useless in addition to the unnecessary cost to which they are already ridiculous overpriced toys
@@TheQuirby Some of us want to run snow tracks and the extra HP will help out. Can keep the functionality of the General other than that. Agree that they are meant for different applications.
my new rzr under 2000 mile the non greasable u-joints in driveshaft shot, not happy, when new 500 mile it took 24 pumps of grease in the wheel bearings..$23,000 and crap like this...

You didn't say which you would buy....I have a RZR 900 and a 1000 general. I don't race and the general will easily keep up with my RZR and has so many more uses. I like the built in radio (also plays USB) and for me it's a no brainer. General all the way.
You can buy the kit fairly cheap and register it and daily drive it here in Utah at least. We see side by sides almost daily on the streets and have a few neighbors that daily drive them. I’m not sure what the laws are in other states though it might be illegal where you are.
Jeremy brightenburg they’re street legal in Utah and Arizona. We see them daily on the roads here in Utah you just have to buy a street legal kit which is pretty much a horn and blinkers. They’re fairly cheap you can buy a street legal kit for 150-200 dollars and they’re plug and play so it’s like an hour install.
RMAX is way better . Its a Yamaha. You don't take it back to the dealer in the 1st 2000kms for a 3grand repair bill. The clutch covers wont leak water in and destroy your C.V.T Your diffs wont blow and your belt is warrantied for 10,000kms ! I have seen many grown men fight and cry over getting their 35k Rzr fixed. Yamaha is ten times better made !!!
This is the choice I'm up against. General "Hunting Edition" or XP pro 1000 base model. I have a farm but also want to go nuts up in the trails. Fun or Work. Hard decision.
@@martinwiebe125 Just bought a used 2020 RzR 1000 turbo S (168bhp). gunna put a tow hitch on it. I'd rather have a sport that can do a bit of work, than a utility thats pathetic at sports.
this review is soooo biased i have a rzr 1000 trubo rs and it has wayyyyy better shocks than both of these vehicles and i have a massive larance GPS in my center console its purely up to what you do with them and what you buy upgrades wise ,, they are both perfect but one is clearly a farm vehicle and that dosent make it better ,,i agree with you
Well the RZR is not for hunting at all. And the Ranger is mostly for work and could easily haul a deer. But the General is a tweener hybrid where you get the best of both worlds. Plus the Ranger is very boxy looking.
I found that a little unfair... this guy presents the Polaris General clean enough for me to eat my lunch off the bumper by the RZR so caked in mud I don't know what color it is. It might have been more fair to wash the RZR off before you trash it as inferior to the General.
There is a easy way to pick RZR is made for fun expert offroading to do a lot of trails speed power and stunts you pick that or General is made for also 50% fun but its basically like he said a smaller truck type its made for work sure its not that fast but it is strong to carry a lot of stuff its for ya know work almoust as a smaller tractor for farming soo you pick that
Are Zee Are takes longer to say being three syllables. Razor uses the same letters but only takes two. Like yelling comere to your kids instead of come here.
Every model, every trim line, every year, with new changes even with the 2021 model? That's what you heard? The transmissions are now CVT and is very difficult to break. Same as Prius. I've heard the belts are a weak point on the Polaris.
Neither! Having a new general I know that' it's a poorly made piece of crap. Spends its time at the dealership being fixed mostly. Awful clutches awful service. No compensation. I'll never buy another polaris
I can't justify paying $30,000 for something that is been documented time and time again that you are constantly having to work on ? Polaris really needs to get back to where they were , quality control sounds non existent. Just retired , give me a call.
Nice review Andre... I prefer the General and I LOVE than tan color...

I think Polaris should put the powerful 180HP engine in the General as an option..That would be AWESOME!!
They will eventually
For the price, they should all be in the 200hp range

Nice! personally, i bought a ranger for mudding. Read they are pretty damn good at it and pulled the plug lol.
LOL Weird I am getting a Lawyer's Ad about how suing RZR for products defects and fire hazards
So it’s like a ranger rzr hybrid?
这辆褐色的GENERAL后面“露天车厢”也太可爱了。搞到我已心虚虚，这也想要买。在此想问，我可以买不少过十辆POLARIS XP RANGER自己一个人驾驶的啦？吗？《不要选黑/灰的颜色。发亮蓝色/发亮青色/发亮巧克力色~也不错。》
Great video man. Thanks for the info.
Your video was so helpful thank you for sharing
Thanks - that did help! I'm going for a General!
Very nice video..thank you for posting.
You didn't say which you would buy....I have a RZR 900 and a 1000 general. I don't race and the general will easily keep up with my RZR and has so many more uses. I like the built in radio (also plays USB) and for me it's a no brainer. General all the way.
Just curious, is there any reason TFL never reviews any Textron/Arctic Cat products? Have you contacted them and they don't respond??
Textron has to actually make new machines for somebody to review, lol...
For that price I want blinkers and road legal!
You can buy the kit fairly cheap and register it and daily drive it here in Utah at least. We see side by sides almost daily on the streets and have a few neighbors that daily drive them. I’m not sure what the laws are in other states though it might be illegal where you are.
They will never make a sxs street legal they would never pass the crash tests
Jeremy brightenburg they’re street legal in Utah and Arizona. We see them daily on the roads here in Utah you just have to buy a street legal kit which is pretty much a horn and blinkers. They’re fairly cheap you can buy a street legal kit for 150-200 dollars and they’re plug and play so it’s like an hour install.
These are street legal in Idaho as well. So is riding a motorcycle without a helmet Lol
CFMOTO HAS BLINKERS OUT THE BOX
How's this stack up to the new Yamaha rmax 1000
RMAX is way better . Its a Yamaha. You don't take it back to the dealer in the 1st 2000kms for a 3grand repair bill. The clutch covers wont leak water in and destroy your C.V.T
Your diffs wont blow and your belt is warrantied for 10,000kms !
I have seen many grown men fight and cry over getting their 35k Rzr fixed.
Yamaha is ten times better made !!!
@@gwood701 Well said.....and 100% correct !
It should be noted that the general door has a seal to stop water from coming in while in deep water wich the rzr does not
good to know
This is the choice I'm up against. General "Hunting Edition" or XP pro 1000 base model. I have a farm but also want to go nuts up in the trails. Fun or Work. Hard decision.
I’m in the same boat. I want the performance of the rzr with the utility of the General
@@martinwiebe125 Just bought a used 2020 RzR 1000 turbo S (168bhp). gunna put a tow hitch on it. I'd rather have a sport that can do a bit of work, than a utility thats pathetic at sports.
The ranger trail boss edition needs the horse power of rzr and I’ll be sold.
Why would you show all the options of the higher end general and not talk about all the options on the rzr 1000 trail and rocks .
this review is soooo biased i have a rzr 1000 trubo rs and it has wayyyyy better shocks than both of these vehicles and i have a massive larance GPS in my center console its purely up to what you do with them and what you buy upgrades wise ,, they are both perfect but one is clearly a farm vehicle and that dosent make it better ,,i agree with you
Guns aren't only for hunting!
GOOD VIDEO I"LL TAKE THE GENERAL GOOD FOR WORK AND PLAY
Wouldn’t a Polaris ranger be better than both of those for hunting?
Well the RZR is not for hunting at all. And the Ranger is mostly for work and could easily haul a deer. But the General is a tweener hybrid where you get the best of both worlds. Plus the Ranger is very boxy looking.
Nice video!
Powerful machines!
My parents already have a General. So I'm gonna get the RZR probably sometime next year.
I found that a little unfair... this guy presents the Polaris General clean enough for me to eat my lunch off the bumper by the RZR so caked in mud I don't know what color it is. It might have been more fair to wash the RZR off before you trash it as inferior to the General.
When are you gonna get some can ams on there
You should be comparing four seater to four seater.
Did he every say which one he would buy and why?
No he didn't. Only reason I watched too!!
My family jus bought a 2021 general xp and it was 27gs that guy must be smoking something
"There's a huge difference between all the way soft and all the way hard"
That's what she said
There is a easy way to pick
RZR is made for fun expert offroading to do a lot of trails speed power and stunts you pick that
or
General is made for also 50% fun but its basically like he said a smaller truck type its made for work sure its not that fast but it is strong to carry a lot of stuff its for ya know work almoust as a smaller tractor for farming soo you pick that
7:11 thats a 4 point seatbelt i belive the 6 point doesn't exist.
Hello :) how many km before the engine die ?
14,500 km
How do you guys afford these expensive toys?
The general is a good machine
Meanwhile I'm perfectly happy driving a Coleman UTV 400 up and down the beach.
In general the General is quite a general General. Is all I heard
Why does everyone say razor? It says RZR.
Are Zee Are takes longer to say being three syllables. Razor uses the same letters but only takes two. Like yelling comere to your kids instead of come here.
Zabawka dla bogatych szlak mnie trafia że nigdy takiego nie będę miał 😎
Your choice was obvious. One is setting there looking like it just came off the trail, the other looks like it's a trailer queen headed to a car show.
I hear the transmissions suck on polaris.
Every model, every trim line, every year, with new changes even with the 2021 model? That's what you heard? The transmissions are now CVT and is very difficult to break. Same as Prius. I've heard the belts are a weak point on the Polaris.
the razor has more horse though.
I'll stick with an old Jeep, that I can also drive on the highway, legally.
these are nice, but hard to justify over a real truck haha damn. good thing I'm poor and cant afford either. i don't have to make these decisions.
This channel is for people who have NO idea about mechanics of any kind NOR do they know anything about sxs.
I rather have both
Listen if you want work and play go the general but for only play go rzr
Neither! Having a new general I know that' it's a poorly made piece of crap. Spends its time at the dealership being fixed mostly. Awful clutches awful service. No compensation. I'll never buy another polaris
If all of you wouldn't keep refinancing your houses to get crap you can't afford
$20.000+ thousand to drive in mud
Can’t wait to see a real sxs like an x3
Would like to get a John Deere HPX615E Work Series Utility Vehicle ....Starting at: $11,369.00 USD
I can't justify paying $30,000 for something that is been documented time and time again that you are constantly having to work on ?
Polaris really needs to get back to where they were , quality control sounds non existent.
Just retired , give me a call.
Do yourself a favor, get a Yamaha or Honda, unless you like taking it back to the dealer a lot !
Yeah polaris makes trash. They might be innovative but their parts are brittle like legos. Get the new Yamaha.
I need 200% fun
