Awesome comparison between a RZR and a Jeep!
Test the can am
RZR sxs win hands down for most capable off the show room floor off road machine. Jeep you have to spend money to make it equal.
The Fast Lane Buggy needs to be a thing!
Devon Parker yeah but for $27k the Toyota Tacoma 2dr 4cylinder is safer more reliable and faster & way more fun than this thing & they start at like $23k
Actually the Tacoma has 159hp to the RZR's 168hp, and is far slower to reach 80mph due to weighing more than twice as much as the RZR. Overall it's a significantly larger vehicle. Reliability is relative to the owner and the maintenance. A Tacoma that is driven off road regularly is going to have far more problems than the ones that never see dirt. Toyotas are reliable, but they no longer have a huge lead in reliability over some other manufacturers. If you think a Tacoma is more fun then I really recommend trying out a side by side of any brand. It's an entirely different experience than a pickup.
We just took delivery of our 2018 turbo s, can't wait to drive it! We have experience with the xpt, xpt4, Yamaha yxz and maverick x3 xrs. I'm super excited to drive the new rzr, I think Polaris did a great job strengthening the whole thing.
Let us know if you guys ever want some mud flaps, we'd love to support your channel!
Did you guys get new camera ?? Or new camera man ?? Video looks much better with better angles. Great video.
Great edit guys! It was nice meeting you. I wish we would have had more time to talk! Maybe at the next one...
Hellzz-ya! Great machine guys!
Get me my parts nick
I appreciated the review. As I once owned a 2008 50” Rzr side by side I must agree they are an expensive toy. Lots of parts just wear out due to running them hard in the Mojave.
I ultimately went back to the Jeep thing, mainly because the wife got tired of returning to camp totally filthy. That and my speed cornering blah blah and that and more.
I would never presume to compare my 2 door JK to any UTV honestly. Worlds of differences. Keep in mind what the Polaris Rep spoke about; THIS machine is RACE READY right from the factory. I believe him.
Good driving there, solid 80. Not the 110 Dougie Fresh and the Boys gave but a solid performance.
110% -SXSBlog.com
I was looking for the SXSblog crew in the background the whole vid...lol. They may have been there on a different day or time though.
Awesome review. Great to see you guys review some sxs. Would love to have heard more about the power delivery in the same way you review vehicles.
You have to make an x3 video and compare . Such a fresh change to a great channel. Great work
That price tag is ridiculously high. It should be 50 state street legal for that amount.
BOTH!!
if Polaris sells these for 27k they are making 22k on every one.
I ride south of the M resort all the time and head out to Gold Springs but have never seen these trails. They looked to be on the right side of the 15 southbound is that accurate? On the left side of the 15 southbound you have the dry lakes and all of the groomed trails for any off road vehicle.
Love the New Turbo S
Nasty nate looking all dirty from off roadin'... love that buggy and your beard.
Can you guys review the new Can Am Maverick Turbo? I have been kicking around trading in my Arctic Cat Wildcat on 1.
Just curious Does anyone know if Jeep dealerships actually make you pay that $1195 destination charge like it says online???
Am having problems with my 2020 RZR Turbo S velocity I have 66028 code on it
Need to try that RZR on the cliff hanger
Do we have a release date ?
Textron says they're going to fly over the competition.
This is truly faster off road capable buggy. It is cheaper than any other newest off road car or suv. But it isn't street legal. Great video,👍Thanks.
Martin Gunawan, some states allow you to register and drive them on surface streets
Farm permit??
In Idaho you can put a plate on them and drive them right down the street. Same with an ATV (4 wheeler). You’re supposed to stay on roads with a 45 mph speed limit or less but I hav driven mine right down Hwy 95 & hwy 2 cruising at 60 past Idaho State Trooper and he just waved... I’m sure in more populated areas they might not like it but I have been driving ATVs on the roads in Idaho since the 90s with never an issue.
Martin Gunawan WRONG - look up the base model Toyota Tacoma its cheaper & better
randall jr Benoit ?????... you actually comparing a Tacoma to a turbo rzr???
Evan Schindel said in this video the following: "(the new model) it is absolutely nothing like the Razer... the one thing that is the same to the Razer would obviously be the power plant" Does he know the meaning of the word absolute? hahahaha hilarious.
I want to rent one to run the Rubicon trail.
So the price of an xp1000 in Canada lol. Seems like a good deal. I'm sure it will be 36k here.
while they are fun to drive they are ridiculously expensive...
Jackal's Outdoor Channel And they’re as unreliable as a meth head
5 years later and the top end RZR has doubled in price.
What’s with the same shirt every video Nathan
1:48 Nothing like the old RZR Turbo in the past. 1:53 the one thing is the same... 8:11 the inside has been completely redesigned as well. Aside from the shifter and cup holder. Do we not all speak the same language?
hahahaha on the ceiling mirror. Don't turn a blacklight on in that room....
hola soy de ecuador
pueden venderme el carburador de la chebréolet
fun factor 5
tires look like they hold up well lmfao
Spending 30k on one of those is Donkey nuts crazy. I’ll take a used Silverado, new Camaro/mustang, used f150, new challenger/charger, new Jeep, used tahoe\yukon,........................( 6 page list of various reasonably priced vehicles) .............................😩 or a jet pack
Don't these guys do comparison tests where is the can am
Daddy likes!
Video had too much fluff. I keep looking for videos to base what I buy off of. These side by side are basically the poor man's trophy truck from what I can tell. 32" tires are sweet. I get the tire size issue. I have a H2 (35's stock) and a grand Cherokee with 30's. Crossing 18-24" deep ruts, my H2 don't notice, my Jeep, I have to plan the approach. So..... I'm still thinking I want the x3.
Test the can am
yeah, but how much for a windshield? I hope the dirt tasted good.
nlitenurmind windshield is no good in the desert. The dust gets sucked into the cab, can't see or breath. Have a good day trolling though
$119 for a windshield
Nikola?
1:00 oil change required
I built a 2 up with a gixxer motor and 12inches of travel for around $3000.
mario sarabia Pretty sure that engine is more than $3000 by itself
I 👍
can you lease it for 2 years and trade in for new model? lol or you stuck with the whole price? these things are toys and just end up sitting with very few miles. like most things sport.
Toaster on wheels
R Z R Nathan says lmao. It's said razor lol.
I want that polaris sales guys job. Can pitch sexier than him, but hes sexier than me.
no for that!!
cheaper than therapy; YIKES!
27k better make it road legal
To compare this product to a Jeep Wrangler is a apples to cantaloupe comparison! I don't care how much money you stick into a Jeep Wrangler it will never be able to match the performance in the dirt as one of these. The proof is in the pudding. Just look at the results of the last mint 400. Compare the Jeep class, classes and the UTV class. These things were made for the dirt!
Kenneth Brown Absolutely. The only people that think a jeep is the same or better are the ones out cruising around only when it's sunny doing 12 mph drinking beer like idiots.
geez thats alot of $
Video is cool, but this video belongs on TFLNOW. I don't think this is exactly a truck. I watch the channel because it is exclusive to trucks. Sorry I am a die hard fan that way. Mr. Truck would agree :-)
The way I see it, you don't tow your ATV and SXS to the trail with a car. It's a truck accessory. I trailer ATV's and SXS in half of my truck reviews. TFLtruck has more views than Now so I'm glad to see it on the truck channel instead of the car channel with Jeep. Jeeps can drive to a trail, but ATV/UTV's need a transport. You can kill two birds with one stone, showing trucks, trailers and the toys you tow. As much as I love horses, ATV's are easier to saddle up and don't eat hay when you shut them off. I'm heading towards SXS. I like the idea of a rollbar and seatbelts and a backrest and a steering wheel and cup holders and room for hot chicks next to me. Makes me warm and fuzzy.
Thank you Mr. Truck! Now I get it!
Is that the model that comes with the Fire suit?
NO but if you have a brain you dont need a fire suit.
Tell that to the poor souls that died when there Polaris caught on fire and they could not escape. Polaris has recalled many machines for the fire issue.
sure that is what you belive
I was actually pleasantly surprised to learn that you can make these street legal in most states. Though I'm still not totally sure that pushing closer to $30k is actually worth the cost. For that you could buy a used JK and still have money to mod it. No doubt these are cool and fun but they aren't for everyone.
are they still made in Mexico?
take your 50k jeep to moab and run a trail....you will spend less then half the time and be more comfortable doing it in a stock rzr. really are different worlds.
The RZR is cool but overpriced, if I am spending this kind of cash it will be on a Jeep. For 27k I would hope the RZR would have something more robust for a transmission than a rubber band CVT. I own a Can-Am Commander that I paid a lot less for.
They are fun to drive but not for 27k. Rather have a jeep that I can drive everyday. For 27k better have a radio, heater, and AC.
You can build it yourself with Chevy Ls. Big mistake buying one 27 k ridiculous.
Very cool toy, ill take jeep payments over this any day
To much $ for my taste! Even if I was in CO or NV I would rather have a street legal jeep I could take on the trails. SXS and some ATVS now are well over 10k and just wouldn't get 10k worth of use out if. Problem with some states areas and places to ride these vehicles is far and few between.
Bob Xziang
Way more places to ride these than jeeps or larger vehicles.
Why do people continually compare a Jeep Wrangler with the RZR XP Turbo S? Besides the price, they are nothing alike.
A wrangler at $30k won’t be able to do jack crap except mild mild mild trails, and pavement driving. Its suspension sucks stock, it’s tires suck stock, and it’s gutless for acceleration. The ride is horrifically rough going over bumps.
On the other hand the RZR XP Turbo S has almost a foot more ground clearance, comes with insane suspension travel, has a better 4WD and 2WD locking diff, and can go flat out over 4ft whoops with ease. You can take it rock crawling, sand dunning, or straight up desert trailing, straight out of the box.
These things aren’t even remotely close to each other in capabilities. The RZR is so much better as a toy for the money. Yeah the Wrangler can be used on the road as a road vehicle, but how many Wrangler owners do you know that only do that? Not many I bet. They all want buy it to off-road it, and for the money, it is a horrible vehicle to pick for that purpose compared to the RZR.
A TOYOTA will jump higher than both jeep& sidebyside
Last longer & better resale than both too
Way safer ASWELL! Cheaper too!
I think Nathan was very conservative in his estimate. To match the performance of this razor with a modified Wrangler you're probably looking close to six figures. It would have to have the capabilities of a Raptor in a Wrangler. It would have to essentially be a custom buggy like the off-road racers. SXS vehicles just above entry level already match the stock Wrangler and they're less than 10 grand. This Razor is more like a Raptor so when you think of it this way it's a bargain. But you have to admit the prices of these machines are getting a little ridiculous. Their speeds are getting too high and any mishap will be unforgiving.
Side by sides are bad a- - but way over rated and priced. The verdict. Get a Renli $14,000 does more than this new Polaris and even the can am maverick but at half the cost. The top speed is set at 95mph also on the Renli.
What's a Jeep "Wranger?"
Can Am Maverik X3 should be next review!! Was the winner for SideBySide category in Dakar 2018!!!
Looks like an amazingly fun rig. Unfortunately this type of off-road vehicle is why more and more BLM and other public lands are getting completely shut down to all motorized use, including 4x4 non OHV. Forget treading lightly, they simply tear the crap out of the trails.
quads are much funner to drive
Definitely a good unit, but my heart is still set on the x3. Just looks better and has a better stance imo.
I’d entertain the idea of paying that much for an RZR if you didn’t have to worry about replacing front end parts every 200 miles. In my experience they don’t build a strong enough steering and suspension parts. They charge a ton of dough but build it with cheap parts. What gives
The suspension, drivetrain and chassis were all beefed up in this machine, and the steering rack is all brand new for strength
Get yourself a new Can Am x3 instead, it doesn’t blow belts like the Rzr, isn’t top heavy and has beefier suspension
Dirt Nasty the Turbo S actually has 20% better belt cooling, more usable travel than X3, 3.0 Live valve internal bypass fox shocks (x3 doesn't have live valve) and they actually have the same COG (X3 mounts their fuel tank above the passengers legs)
Evan Schendel I might actually believe your statements if you could show me where the stats are at to prove it.
Dirt Nasty They aren't stats, he's listing hardware features. There's nothing to prove.
That cost more than my wife's Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and it has windows. Honestly I think I'd have more fun in the Renegade.
First!!
this piece of shit cost as much as my 2017 Ram Hemi Bighorn... ill pass.
30k for a golf cart
Just not true but definitely shouldn’t cost 30 k
Maybe not such a good idea for a golf course, would you think ?
whats funnier is that you can register a golf cart to be road legal ... 😂😂😂 so a golf cart is actually better
can a golf cart go 80 mph through woops and hit huge air then land into a power slide? ....ya thought not lol
A custom one like the one in the video, yes.
this should be a course that all the b0#@heads that put larger tires on their half ton trucks and blow out front end parts and wonder why? I guess live and learn? VIDEO AT: 5:05 and on just sayin
;04
Polaris all day. Jeeps are POS's
So they finally put long travel standard with bigger tires and they call it completely redesigned? 😂 It looks just as top heavy as ever. Sorry Polaris but the X3 is still better.
Where's the Toyota @
What dumbf* Ritch guy buys a $28k pos "OFFROAD machine" when a Toyota Tacoma is cheaper much cheaper -more reliable much more reliable - safer and way way faster aswell as way more practical and just as maneuverable probably better MPG too....
The jeep makes more sense than that powerwheel ... except it's more expensive less reliable less safe less fuel efficient and both are less resale value than the Toyota Tacoma base model
I'll buy a Toyota!
It is just too expensive for something my Honda 500 can do at 19K less.
If it had a Cummins 4BT instead of that cheap Chinese engine the I would be interested.
Still an unreliable Polaris...good try. Sure all oems have issues but it does seem like every week Polaris is issuing a new recall for something that never should have been a problem in the first place. Lots of friends have or had rzrs, old and new and all have been money pits.
Timothy Smith
Polaris has 10X more units sold than all the rest.. you will hear more peopel whine when theirs is broken cause of most part their lack of care or they expect it to do more than what is should
Mike Panocatapolis
In my experience the issues my friends and I have have had were not due to a lack of maintenance or abuse, but just part failures or systems failure. Failed brakes, broken axles, constant belt issues, numerous electrical problems just to name a few. A few of us had some warranty claims and a few had expensive shop bills. We live in the PNW, where we have tight trails, and rocks. None of use beat on our machines real hard, we are converted utv guys coming from Jeeps and Toyota's, so beating on our trucks meant breakage, which meant a expensive tow bill. We all just like to trail ride with our families, and of the 6 of us that had Polaris only 1 still does, and that's because he has WAY too much money wrapped up into it. I know a lot of tour companies are going away from Polaris due to the safety issues, and constant recalls. Consumer affairs has a multitude of complaints about these very issues, and I for one do not feel comfortable putting my family in or on any Polaris product, which is truly unfortunate, I used to be a die hard fan of Polaris. I like supporting an American company that puts Americans to work, but I got to get my money's worth and most importantly I have to put my families safety first. I do hope Polaris turns themselves around.
Just my .02 cents.
Can am maverick x3 is better
Kelly Gamble I agree with you, and they don't freakin' catch on fire
NickOn4Wheels that's is right
The Turbo S has 32" tires (bigger than X3), 16" ground clearance (more than X3), 25' usable travel (more than X3), and DYNAMIX Active Suspension (X3 doesn't have), this vehcile is LEGIT. Drive one
Evan Schendel You know what a Polaris RZR doesn't have? RELIABILITY
Evan Schendel it's literally 1 inch for them it's got 15 inches of ground clearance 24 inches of suspension travel and okay guess what you can get a locker can you get a locker in that no
Lmao cost more than a jeep gtfoh! 28k and u cant even drive it on the road who would buy this thing only the rich
AcuraMatt B but you can drive it on the road. Only takes $300 kit to make em street legal in most states. Just needs horn,blinkers,reverse lights, and license plate. And yes, it will pass smog in most areas as well.
You can drive this RZR at 85MPH through 2-3 foot whoops, basically your trading on-road luxury for off-road performance, just depends what you want! This obviously wouldn't be a daily driver (but if it was that'd be awesome)
Evan Schendel had a 2017 xp4 1000 since April and it has 2200 miles on it. So yes, it can be a daily driver and kick some major ass off road at the same time. I was a jeep guy until these things hit the market. Only thing missing is heating and air conditioning. Can't wait to see how good the 4 seater version of the turbo s does in the whoops. Gonna be a good day just gonna send it!!! Lol
Brady Turnblom you've been daily driving one? That's gotta be the best commute to work ever. They do sell a cab heater on their site if you need one, AC would be pretty sweet.
Evan Schendel not to work, I have a company truck for that, but it does get driven almost everyday. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that doesn't require the street legal kit if it's a road under 50mph. Although there are plenty of people in southern utah that have the full kit on em and drive them everywhere but the freeway. Not too safe on pavement above 70mph ha ha
All that money for an unreliable piece of crap
