      @ brakes are bad, clutch has been in 2 times without getting fixed (squawks). Roof leaks, all 4 door seals are falling off, heat doesn’t work at idle, paint failing and flaking off frame and suspension connections, rusting bolts on bed rail track, Bluetooth doesn’t work, can’t talk to the person next to you when driving. Door locks don’t work. Glove box and center console locks don’t work. List goes on. Total crap fit and finish. And trying to get warranty approved by Polaris is a nightmare.

    Beautiful machine ! I am looking at them at the dealership . I've been trying to find info on the machine as far as how deep of water it can go in . No-one seems to know . I run my machine in Florida where during the summer has some pretty deep water spots. Any ideas or have you heard anything from anyone ? Any input would be great . Thanks

    • @505Outsiders
      @505Outsiders  5 місяців тому

      Thanks! According to the owners manual they say don’t go past a few inches above the height over the floor board. Reason for that in the center is the air recirculation filter for the HVAC. Granted these do sit pretty tall that’s the first limit in height.

    Hello there. I’m considering on purchasing either the expedition adv or the xp 2 seater. How do you think the 1500 would do on trails like the expedition line up.

    • @505Outsiders
      @505Outsiders  8 місяців тому +1

      Hello! In my opinion the expedition is so noisy that it’s a deal breaker for many. The ranger is super quiet and rides very well. The 2 things I wish the ranger had were more laid back seating and better audio. Other than that the ranger seems to be a better more functional machine. The transmission seems to get better with mileage. When we first got it, it seemed to slip but as we have put miles on it, the performance has improved.

  • @rodcox1005
    @rodcox1005 9 місяців тому +2

    I love your rig, the tires and wheels look awesome. I have the 2 door version of your ride and just put new wheels and 32" BFG KM3's on it and it really improved the ride. I agree with your comments on side mirrors and a better stereo for the money, they gave it to the Expedition why short those of us that bought the flagship machine? At $50K these should be standard equipment. I never thought about electric locks just happy that they finally got to 1 key for everything. Good to know about the wrench, mines been on the dash for quite some time now. I also agree with your comments about the tranny but would never go back to a CVT if I didn't have to. So smooth and quiet which is what I was after.

    • @505Outsiders
      @505Outsiders  9 місяців тому

      Agreed they spent the money and time on the Expedition they could have done the same on the Ranger especially with the price tag. The tranny will take some time to get used to for climbing but for cruising around it's perfect!

    Could it possibly be by putting those larger wheels and tires on the machine? It’s changed the characteristics of the clutch a little bit.? I know when I put larger tires on my jeep, it changes the gearing and torque and the way it feels shifting.

    • @505Outsiders
      @505Outsiders  8 місяців тому

      Yes the tire size didn’t help the situation but we experienced similar characteristics even with the stock tires when it was new. We will be releasing a video today on performance between the tire sizes and you can still see how different the transmission performs. It’s not bad, just different.

    Came out of the Can Am version last year for NM Elk and Mule Deer - it was a dust magnet. My biggest concern going back to a fully enclosed machine like this would be how bad is the dust inside the cab after an extended timeframe?

    • @505Outsiders
      @505Outsiders  8 місяців тому

      From what we have experience and heard from other owners is as long as the front windshield is adjusted (location of most complaints) there is minimal dust. During the cold winter months I could feel a little draft from the door handle and steering column. To prevent that, I kept the air on to “pressurize” the cabin and that kept the cold out. We do the same now in the summer, even just the vent and haven’t seen enough dust to complain. Most of the dust is from opening the doors. Plus the HVAC unit in the Ranger is powerful.

      It’s hard to say with this unit. Normally a UTV is good for 10k miles but this one has larger components/ more automotive style. Longer warranty than the normal 6 months. I want to say has a bumper to bumper for 12 months and then much longer engine and transmission warranty I believe.

    How is the power and suspension for the trail? I can’t believe Polaris didn’t get the tranny more programmed for trails. I get that it’s for work but the rangers/defenders have exploded in popularity on the trails due to the hvac cab. I’m in between this or a xpedition 5. 😊

    • @505Outsiders
      @505Outsiders  9 місяців тому +1

      The power and suspension is adequate for trails. The seating position even though is better than past ranger models is still more upright. Kind of like sitting in a single cab truck from the 80’s. The expedition has more comfortable seating but the noise and visibility make it uncomfortable.

    I’ve got a 2700 miles on my 1500 ultimate crew and I’ve got a lot of the same thoughts as you guys. The transmission is definitely nice but the low speed the clutch packs on the primary are trying to engage and are slipping when you get into a really heavy load situation when your stuck or climbing over obstacles I’ve had to back up and get a little run to get it to go otherwise it just slips and doesn’t turn the tires (32”). Tow/haul and sport seem to be the best at getting it into the lowest gear ratio possible.

    • @505Outsiders
      @505Outsiders  7 місяців тому

      It’s like everything else. There are cheaper models of this vehicle. This one is about as quiet or quieter than a Jeep. As where a RZR is about 90db, this one is at the low 70db at 45 mph inside. The benefit is these are much more nimble and smoother than a Jeep on the occupants. Yes there is a benefit to jeeps in some cases but same with this machine. This machine isn’t for the masses, it was designed and built for a certain group of folks. The people that have large ranches and need to haul stuff over rough roads that you don’t want to take your F-350. This is for the big time hunter/ guides that want to take their clients out back in the woods. Polaris is definitely blurring the line of a sxs and full size suv.

    I don’t understand the point of these things. The whole purpose of atv/utv is to have something much smaller, more maneuverable, far cheaper, less maintenance than a traditional vehicle.

    You’re all very large, that’s hilarious.
    My kids are 6’5” and 6’6”
    Your kids look a little shorter than that . But yeah, you and the old man are good sized I’d say.

      lol they might be small but hubby and I are 6’2” and 5’11”. Plus by the time you add the kids and their car seats it don’t take long to fill the cab.
