- When it comes to heavyweight Utility UTVs, the 2017 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT and Polaris Ranger XP 1000 EPS are at the top of the food chain.
If you are in the market for a powerful UTV that will not only work hard but that can be trail ridden with kid gloves, than you have come to the right place. Our big brute test between the 2017 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT and Polaris Ranger XP 1000 EPS was quite possibly the high-power highlight of our adventures in the mountains of northern Georgia. These two machines are not only capable of towing many pounds of work gear and material, but they both have the grunt from some of the best engine designs in our industry.
Innovation is a word that gets thrown around in the engineering office at both Can-Am and Polaris. In 2017 with the stakes getting higher for market share and wow factors becoming increasingly demanded by you the consumer, we can tell you this: both companies are listening well. This matchup gave us an opportunity to really digest just how similar and yet vastly different these two Side-by-Sides are.

I had nothing but trouble out of my Polaris ranger. Broke bed shock, broke the gear selector in half, 2 clutches, 2 drive belts, 2 cv boots, all in a year and a half of use. That’s why I went to can am. I’ve had nothing but great service out of my new defender so far. Very happy with can am.
everything from Can am is 3 times the money! I wanna be able to build my own boxes and storage places.
If only I could get the Ranger's exterior styling with the can-am's interior and drive train... Love the look of the new Ranger.
I hear a lot of people say their can-ams are better. I don’t know. Where we live in Tennessee I’ve never seen one. My 2009 Ranger 700 XP has been abused with dragging heavy downed trees and it’s been rolled three times. It’s never failed to start and never been repaired. It’s only got 1200 miles and 400 hours almost all on my 10 acres and maybe 5 runs to the store about 5 miles away. I’ve only trailered it twice. Once because I couldn’t get the drain plug loose for the first oil change and another for new tires. I’ve done all the rest of the maintenance myself.
I've always had the can-am always have and always will, I have had great service out of can-am Ive had three one UTV and two atv and never had a problem not one after 5 years on the 650 XT and now 4 years on the 450 just sold the UTV had it for two years no problems at all If i could not get a can-am I would buy a Honda every day all day

This is another review NOT A VS to much talk show them doin what you say they are doin not talk talk talk show them claiming a hill getting stuck pulling anything don't be scard to show the bad about them we all know there
I've owned both and I will tell you I prefer the can am but it is louder and rougher then the polaris but I was tired of replacing bushings, shocks, drive lines, u-joints etc. on the polaris. I have had to replace 2 front shocks on the can am but that's it and I have about 4500 miles on it now. The polaris just doesn't hold up over time. I run 500 cows so use them a lot every day. I know what I'm talking about. I wish they would put me on the design team as I have so many other ideas. Also the door handles if you have the full cab, as I do on both, suck on the can am.
Troy Hallagin you should look into a mahindra
Good to hear from someone with experience? Is the Can-Am your preference for a utility UTV in general?
Troy Hallagin 100% agree! I bought Polaris for a while and always had to replace something. I’m now on my 2nd Defender and it’s a far better machine. Much more reliable, rides and handles better.
Almost 10,000 miles on my Ranger 900 with only one belt break. Used all year round in northern Wisconsin.
Troy Hallagin hh
And you've shown 0 footage of you towing or trail riding either machine also with a 2000 pound towing capacity and you say you just toe 600 what
six hundred pounds in a trailer which probably weighs seven or eight hundred pounds.
Comfort, engine noise, heat??
Yes, yes and yes.
I’ve got a 2019 Defender XT Cab / HD10 and love it. However, it can’t do an on-the-fly 4x4 switch while the Ranger (another machine I love) certainly can. I’m ok with it, but wouldn’t mind seeing CanAm add this feature. As for speed - sheesh! - both machines scare the pants off me. Top speed - no way. They are both rocket ships. My brother runs the Ranger and feels the same way. Both are awesome.
Are Polaris reliable? I’ve seen some negative stuff, but then again that’s mostly from people that don’t even own them.
Mortimer Plimpton looking at getting a Can-am 570 or a Polaris 570, just for snow plowing.
Finally an equal battle between polaris and can-am
I almost went with the Honda Pioneer 1000 but spoke to a man who has on in for oil change. He told me it's hot in the cab, and there's a hole under the wheel well made by factory that lets in tons of dust . He blocks it with a plastic bag. That would bug the heck out of me. I'm a Honda guy too, and was so disappointed to speak to him. Plus the trouble Honda had with the transmission.
Two legs good; Four legs bad. Everything you just said about Honda is the reason I sold mine
I hear the Yamaha is more reliable than these two.
Reno2324 you’re right
Pretty ugly and not close to the power of the polaris
Hello, what is more silent? polaris or can am ?!
Pedro La Guardia I’ve got a Defender XMR and I’ll be honest the defender is insanely quite. Going 30-40 I can talk normal to my buddy beside me. Versus the Mavericks and commanders are insanely loud can’t hear each other. I know I didn’t speak for the ranger but I have no experience with ranger as far as noise
Who makes the most reliable side by side.
kawasaki teryx and 3 year warranty
Your comparing still old school ranger. Compare it to a general. General vs defender. Ranger and commander are in same class
completely disagree. these are the two work oriented machines. polaris general would go up against a commander.
No. Ranger and defender are in the same class. Commander and General are the cross overs.
Yea I’m gonna agree with the others...you’re wrong. I have a general and they aren’t close
Agree with the other comments here you’re not sure what you’re talking about.
Im just going with a honda 1000 Pioneer. Long live honda
tonylama By the time everyone else gets done pushin pullin. Clawin scratchin spittin and cussin about who got the best bike we will have our work done and gone for a pleasure riding and they will be still trying to figure it out. Honda got em all beat.
Trapper 62 Depends really, not sure if you've driven all three or not but the Honda felt meh to me. I'm about to get a side by side now and I've now driven all of them, the Honda left me least impressed to be honest. I guess they have the reliability aspect going for them but that's not enough to sway me, not enough configurations or aftermarket support. I did like the flip up seats though.
Trapper 62 honda rides like shit and are straight ugly and fat.
Edit: thats why i went to can-am maverick 1000r
William Stewart reliability is #1 for me. Not into speed. 40 kh is lots for me. I don’t like the idea of walking several miles if I break down. That’s not to say they won’t break down but I like my odds with a honda. So the ride and speed are not factors in my buying.
CrazyAmazingHD that’s a good machine you got but it’s not one for me. Don’t need all that power. Reliability is for me
