    I noticed nothing mention about price.. Defender MSRP 29900.. Ranger XD MSRP 45000.. That in itself is beyond ridiculous. And what do you get for an extra 15k. 1 inch of extra ground clearance. Can change the air from your face to your feet. A power port in the bed. A slightly bigger bed. 1000lbs extra tow capacity and 500 extra payload. And a few other things that in my opinion dont justify an extra 15k. For that kind of money i can buy a small 4x4 pickup, put a 6 inch lift on it with some good AT tires and have WAY more towing more payload more comfortable and be able to drive it down the highway. It is a nice rig no doubt but way over priced.

    I have done extensive maintenance on can am and Polaris machines. A former trade that I did for many years I was a master mechanic. This youngster talking about packages is all fine and dandy. One thing he is not talking about is the huge price difference between the two. Polaris $45000 really. My experience the Can am products at least in the mountains of Wyoming hold up far superior to Polaris cheap mostly Chinese parts. If you buy Polaris you are buying a very high cost in maintenance. I for one am finished with Polaris.

      I deliver a lot of Polaris side by sides around the southeast. Motor sports places. Everytime I deliver I ask the mechanics there which of the two are better and the say exactly the same thing. The cam am
      Is better the Polaris will have high maintenance issues. Personally I like the cam am. It definitely more roomy. I’m 6-4 230. Even the back seats in the cam am is comfortable. The Polaris it ok barely.

    I own a 2019 Ranger XP 1000 Northstar with tracks for the winter. I use it up northern Alberta for work. I have never blown a belt, have changed out 2 for wear. Running tracks in deep snow is a big load on the CVT. I have had multiple clutch problems with it, some where recalls, a couple I had to pay for. Wheel Bearings now have all been changed. 1 rear axle was changed as it was making funny noises in the rear end. The Bushings in the mounts from sub frame to main frame have worn out 3 times. Just changed out the O2 sensor when it wouldn't start last week. In hind site, I should have bought extended warranty. I will be buying another brand next year or the year after. Maybe the new Kawasaki or I would like a Honda if they made a nice cab like Cam Am and Polaris. I work with guys running Defenders on tracks in the winter also. They have there issues too. The Defender does start at -38 C, Ranger is done at -32 C . I previously owned a 2009 Rhino Sport 700. Never used it in the winter due to no enclosed cab, but it was a great machine for 10 years, only replaced battery once, and did the wheel bearing and tie rod ends in year 10. Great machine but the engine noise drove me crazy. Polaris needs to pull their head out of there ass on the pricing of the new 1500, it is Ridiculous.

    • @chadsteele1315

      I just got eyes in the new Kawasaki. It’s a great looking machine. Things I liked. Rear hitch at level with box for easier hitch up. Nice seats. Control knobs for for hvac seemed good. Nice sounding engine. It purrred. Kawasaki quality. Normal doors not suicide which is dumb why other manufacturers do it I have no idea, front locking diff, Led headlights. . Don’t likes. No turf mode. Dinky tires. The rear tailgate felt flimsy both opening and closing. No pop out front window for more air flow. Lack of storage. Like basically none. No winch Canada model and no gps Canada model at same price point. So now I’m back looking at the canam. Moving to alberta soon. I do have a Polaris and I’m keeping that. The Polaris ranger asks a premium for stuff the canam has for 3k lower. But ranger is a bit smaller. I really wanted the Kawasaki but it fell short and to outfit it I basically should buy the Polaris North Star then.

    Above the drivers dash display the cover lifts up for USB ports and phone holder and I do believe a 12 volt power plug also. I just got a can am defender H9 2023 base price was 19,900. Add the other sealed cab parts, windshield, doors, blinkers, back window. Heater and other stuff to it and price goes to 32 k this doesn't include the pod lights, stereo backup lights, and other features as a pavement queen wants in her UTV ( my wife) for trail, road and farm use. If you add all the extras up the price is ridiculously stupid. She could have just jacked up a small pickup truck. I said it when I bought it at the dealership and will say it again Can Am your paying for the name. Ironically I have a Honda 700-4 2020 and am thinking about upgrading it to the Ranger. Or a Ginda 1000-4 good thing both dealerships are within a few miles of each other

This new 1500 is pretty special though. Everything feels better built on it from the can am. The doors feel much sturdier, they actually lock. What in the hell is can am thinking about not having locking doors? Are they stupid? Also, can am has missed the mark on the navigation display. How outdated are they?

    Another thing to add about the defender, this shift very poorly, the strength it takes to make them shift at different times is absolutely ridiculous, this is not a one off either, I work for a company that has and rents a large # of these units for work, hundreds of shift cables busted, as well as the steel bracket in behind bent, zero parts available to fix for months at times, they are a piece of sh.., door cable/stopper for the door when it opens is very light cable, when this breaks and it will, the door will over travel and bend the hinges and the door will not close. sometimes its out 2-3 inches where the latch is, you will have to take the door off and bend the hinges back and reinstall the door and realign. Very poor door latch system, I've had the door open just driving, this will bust the cable and your hinges are bent again. Put a heavy gauge piece of cable for the door stop. The amount of body and cage flex is unreal, the creaks and groans is pathetic for what their asking price is. Junk

    My dealer carries brands and I looked at them over the weekend, the Polaris has a much quieter and sealed cab, the doors close tight and they also lock. The can am doors did not fit tight rattled and don’t lock. I did not like how far forward the can am doors open it’s like you had to step back and around to get in after you open the door. I’m sure Kenny is a more reliable machine but the Polaris seems to be a better design cab for hvac. If I wasn’t concerned with a COI would definitely probably go with the Can-Am.

    Can am hasn’t came out with their new buggy yet.. kind of unfair.. need to compare 1000 to 1000 … can am way more comfortable.. but the touch screen and ride command is the only thing better that Polaris has..

    Polaris is junk! I handled UTV/ATV acquisitions for a federal agency. We purchased Polaris equipment on numerous occasions and they were always junk. Terrible transmissions, clutches, engines, ergonomics, brakes, wheel bearings, and service, ect. We used our machines very harshly and we would only get a month or two of use from anything Polaris before they fell apart and needed major repairs. Can-Am, Honda, Yamaha, Yanmar, Kawasaki, were all other brands that held up better than Polaris. I hope they have improved their quality but I know for years they were trash. I don’t have a favorite brand, nor do I advocate for a particular brand. I purchased a defender Lone Star in 2020 and it has been great but would have gone Viking had it not been for the amazing deal I was offered. Good luck and happy trails!

      You're so full of crap. I was new to the market and bought Polaris atv and a General 4 seat XP deluxe yadda yadda. Both have given me zero problems hundreds of hours and thousand plus miles. Guess I just got luck huh? Yeah right.

      Look I don’t care what name it has on it, if it had Ching Ding on the side I would support it if it was well built. You tested 1 congratulations, I have tested hundreds over the last 35 years. Your experience may be due to the conditions you operate in. A pavement princess that is well kept compared to one that is run hard makes a huge difference. I am not being a jerk either, heck PM me and come out to my ranch and see for yourself.
