I have a 2018 General 2seater ride command with the full enclosure on it, heat, the whole 9.. every option. Literally. I built it to plow snow.. I have yet to hit the trail with it though, because I’m worried about how well all the enclosure bits will hold up to the extreme jarring, bumping, and vibrating of hard trail riding.. does it get loose easily and start to cause parts to break or fail? How well does the glass hold up? I don’t want to have to baby my machine, because while it was built primarily as a plow machine, I chose it over the ranger so I could still ride it for fun in the summer, but I don’t want the thing coming apart and getting cracked glass etc.
No major issues. With the 4-seat wheelbase, there is quite a bit more chassis flex during trail riding and we have had a rear door requiring realignment twice in order to open/close smoothly as the frame has "settled," which is what we expected. We haven't seen this on the 2-door models. The glass holds up well as we had expected. We are conscious of making sure the windows are not kicked out to vent in tight areas to make sure they can't be caught by passing branches and damaged. One rear window fastener failed due to a bad weld from the manufacturer (only about 25% of the adjoining surfaces was welded vs. full coverage on every other joint) and we are working with Polaris to repair/replace under warranty. The door skins do get scratched, and we may be looking to add a vinyl wrap to later builds to help hide scratches or protect from them. We left the full cab on for Summer and really haven't experienced excessive heat inside. When moving with the windows open and the vents blowing ambient air, the cab stays relatively comfortable - about on par with a RZR/General with full windshields and full half doors. Still, the General with cab keeps the interior relatively clean and we are always ready for cold and rain. BTW, we have about 600-miles on our demo model and it is exclusively used for trail riding. Only normal services. Original drive belt.
Miller's Motorsports WOW! Thanks for taking the time to give such an informative reply! Mine is working great so far. A little leaky in the wet, but still way better than an open cab machine! The heat is a big plus when plowing. It’s a little slow to warm up, but holy cow does it work!
Hi Im looking to import ATV's to Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands and the tropical heat is a big issue so I want to know if an Air conditioning unit can be installed into the general 4
jamie jangula it’s nice but no way in hell worth 40k . My grandpa rode the same trails that people are riding these things on in a buggy with a $5 mule pulling it .
This model does include a headliner. It is normally standard with a Premium Roof package, but we added it to the standard poly roof factory-equipped on the General 4 Ride Command.
Did he just say 38,000? They are nuts! Polaris OEM parts are junk plastic, got a ranger with full cab and the cab is total junk, not worth no where near 38k
Pretty disappointed I purchased the 2018 rzr 900 eps trail after seeing this review.. I will definitely be looking into one of these in the next couple years ..
You’ll not be disappointed with that 900 trail. They move real good. My only complaint is the ride in any of the trail models is just so far off the level of even the 60” 4 seat version. We have both as well as an xp1k 4 seater as well and the ride quality on trails is just incomparable between either 4 seat model and the trail. I personally prefer the 900 eps 4 seat out of the 3 as it combines the best from both ends of the spectrum. Of course a tune was in order to wake up the 900 but it rips trails no prob now
Also you can get a very well equipped 60” 4 seat 1k now for half that 38k and still be more capable. Maybe won’t have full enclosed for that price point but who needs those, that’s what coats and gloves are for.
2007 Ford sport trac 4x4 4 door $6k goes anywhere the general goes, street legal extra vehicles when needed. Side by sides are pricing themselves into oblivion.

Insane beautiful but insane ridiculous overpriced is crazy. No even a Ac or heater and the want $38000 plus destination charge plus Documentation charge plus and license another $$3200 on taxes . Plus freight bs They are out of their minds is insane
38 that will buy a Toyota hybrid highlander which will hold its value more than that thing!!!! People has to stop making Polaris rich!!! Rides an accessories way over priced!!!
You went from 27 to 30” tires with no clutch work or upgraded axles. First rip on the trails say good bye to your belt and/or axles. Poor build. No forethought for the future owner of this land yacht. 👎🏻👎🏻
Second build like this on the General 4, many similar on the RZR S4. This particular model is part of our demo fleet and has been hitting the trails since early December trouble-free. We expect it will perform as such moving forward based on previous experience.
Fair enough. Though how do you deal with the power loss and increased torque on the axles due to the added rotational mass ? Ex: gear reduction for the transmission ?? Or clutching mod?
@@grumpygramps9707 Of course adding any additional weight to the driveline will create additional parasitic loss; however, with 100-HP, the General has more than enough power in reserve to haul the machine around with ease. Simply adding weight to the vehicle with accessories and payload can have the same effect. The taller tires do affect the overall final gearing, but the General, like that RZR S models, feature a trail-specific low range (as compared to RZR XPs) that preserves driveability with the larger tires and maintains sufficient clutch-to-belt engagement to limit excess wear. If customers are looking for enhanced driveline response, or are mainly riding in conditions with high torque loads on the drive train (rock crawling and mud bogging), then we may encourage adding a clutch kit to maintain drive and limit belt slippage. Ultimately, this build and, more broadly, the General line-up is not the typical model of choice for riders looking to rock bounce or bury their machines in mud. With reference to your question about the strength of the factory driveline, particularly the axles, the General’s driveline has proven to be pretty stout. Something to consider about the General, especially when benchmarking against high-performance models like a RZR, is that the General is rated to carry nearly 40% more total payload than its “cousin” RZR S 1000, and tow 1,500-lbs on top of that. This should give some merit to the strength of the OE equipment on the General. When we set up a vehicle, we don’t look to fix problems that don’t exist and waste money replacing good parts just because some people underestimate the capabilities of the factory equipment.
When im 15 i want this and with cabin because i live in finland and there comes snow

What super Atv lift kit did you put in?
Is ac available
I had a 2017 General Deluxe, and got rid of it as it had to many issues! Loved the look of it, but can't ride on looks!
Yeah I heard there is to many plastic parts on the motor
Can you put the tracks on this vehicle or no
Yes, this vehicle can be equipped with tracks. Polaris offers the Prospector Pro Track system for an estimated retail cost of $5,500.
Camso tracks are better and they can be used on any sxs as long as u get the different mounting brackrt
Miller's Motorsports Polaris are absolutely crazy overpriced. $38000 that’s insane small market for sure
This is badass
Your gonna have this on the floor for years to come $40k, thats nuts. But there is an ass for every seat. Nice ride but ill buy a jeep before this.
As if a Jeep were in the same class in any category? Why not something equally random, like 15,000 pairs of socks?
Well, have fun in your Jeep with no independent rear suspension. Amongst countless other differences.
banks have lots of money, it will sell fast.
jamie jangula it’s nice but no way in hell worth 40k . My grandpa rode the same trails that people are riding these things on in a buggy with a $5 mule pulling it .
And the A/C is aviable in this model.
What headlights are those?
Hello Jayson, the headlights featured are the Trailblazer LED Adjustable Headlights from Polaris.
Ernie when did you hit the big screen? Your a movie star bro! Sick ass whip does it have the headliner installed too?
This model does include a headliner. It is normally standard with a Premium Roof package, but we added it to the standard poly roof factory-equipped on the General 4 Ride Command.
Nice job on the build.
bagai mana caranya saya bisa miliki kendaraan ini di indonesia bos..
$38,000 is ridiculous.
Why not buy a Jeep and trail ride. Won’t need a trailer to transport it.
Where is the link for this model
Did he just say 38,000? They are nuts! Polaris OEM parts are junk plastic, got a ranger with full cab and the cab is total junk, not worth no where near 38k

Yeah they are insane ridiculous overpriced greedy bastards
Wouldn't you be better off buying a jeep or a pick up for that price?
Holy Cow!Who would pay that much for a sxs?
Man I can buy a truck or Jeep for that price
They are absolutely crazy on the price. I won’t even pay half of that. Ridiculous greedy
there crazy he must have meant 38000 pesos
Hahahaha exactamente. Están locos so greedy
Needs some Grizzz Tek Protection.
Polaris sure make there products look good , to bad there junk , just go for that 19 yxz in the back
For the money just buy a JEEP and it will last 200 000 miles not less then 15 000

I've had 30" on my '16 rzr 4xp, no problems.
Let my 570S "eat" at CAW, Windrock & Uwharrie - 30s on a completely stock driveline. What is this power loss thing?
Or just buy a jeep!!!!
This stuff is really getting to the point of stupid. Just buy a Jeep or truck. K.i.s.s.
