I think it depends on how you want to build yours. Just have to pick out and price your upgrades. And then bounce that against the two models to see which is cheaper. For me I would get the XTP over the base model because it already has pretty much all the upgrades I want. Plus you have a higher blue book value and painted plastics. But this is the first time I have found that to be my case, usually I come out better to get the base and build it myself. Another great video guys. Keep em coming.
You did an excellent job with your demonstration this confirms my decision thank you
I think for someone who is a beginner and wants something that can support my family needs. I think this model is extremely excellent.
I've been looking at getting a commander recently and weighing the options just like you mentioned. Personally for the money, the DPS is perfect for me just for the reasons you mentioned. Even after I built a model on the CanAm website, it still came out to a very reasonable price. Keep up with the awesome reviews and videos, its helping out a lot.
Thanks Tony!!
Just bought this machine, added a roof, a winch, front and back glass, mirrors and sound for all the reasons you talked about. Please send me some SWAG because I still have to pay for wheels.
i bought the xtp first thing all other models need new shocks xpt comes with fox . this model comes with the most upgrades that you will most likely put on later tires wheels .my commander rips must have clutching modes from base model
There is absolutely special about Fox shocks. The only reason people think so is because they have a great marketing department.
Nice to see reviews of the “cheaper” models. Like any SXS is cheaper. The small things like the door latches and such are important. Makes the machine easy to use every day. The belt storage is a great idea. Wish it could hold more like tools.
I got my ride commander 1000 max in fall of 2021 and since I have customized Whistler (named him cuz he whistles cruising around!) And I recommend adding accessories you will be happy you did!!! Ty n have a nice ride
Hello Luke. I love the content that Dirt Trax TV produces. I love your view on the Commander. I know that they sell the Maverick Clutch and electronic key (tune) which will give a huge boost and added power.
Cannot wait to see how you guys build this unit up.
Thank you
Allen McCurdy
I would consider myself lucky to have either model! Looks like a lot of fun!
Great video. I would personally buy the DPS over the XT for 3 main reasons.
1. it's more affordable, you can drive it as is to you can afford it or have time for upgrades.
2. You have the ability to upgrade to whatever you want for accessories instead of being stuck with factory options.
3. If you do want the accessories from the xp or limited, you can usually find take offs on kijiji, Facebook market place, etc. And usually you can find it for a fraction of the price of buying through can am. Looking forward to the future commander testing video. Sounds like it was used as it was meant to be used.
Hey Luke, Jay here from New Brunswick Canada. I feel its certainly smarter to buy the lower end model and buy the extras afterwards. You made such a great point with that and telling the viewers your honest opinions is respectable. Brand Loyal channels want to push the biggest and best but rarely showcase the potential of the lower end models. There are so many aftermarket parts available now a days that its perfect for someone on a budget to slowly upgrade their machines rather then having a huge payment. Can't wait to see the ride video and the final review. Been a huge fan of your channel for many years and value your opinions greatly. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much Jay! Really appreciate your support!!
I have the XT. I don’t mind adding windshields or roofs if I have to but glad it came with the winch!
Has more than enough power for me. Sport mode accelerates fast enough. If I wanted speed I’d have bought an X3.
Great video Luke! Keep doing what your doing!
Right on! thank you!!
Buy the DPS and make your way! Ps great show, you tell it truthfully and I can respect that. Keep up the great reviews 👍
Thanks Jeff!! 👍 👊💥
I guess for me at least, the XT package is the one I'd go for due to just being able to enjoy the factory options right out of the box. Keep up the great reviews Luke!
I have a really nice 21 Ranger XP1000 premium with full cab, heat, ride command, tip out windshield w wiper, headache rack, front and rear bumpers, 600 miles, dark red, 3 seater for sale in MN if you know anyone looking. 😁 $27,000 US, pictures are up on Duluth Craigslist
I would go for the DPS so we could outfit it with the accessories that make it best, and most enjoyable for our family outings in the mountains of Utah. This was a great and informative video!
Thank you very much!!
It’s comments like hitting your helmet getting in, being able to see the gauge cluster through the steering wheel, etc, makes this my preferred review watch
I agree with you on buying the base model and then adding what you want and how you want it. I did just that with a 2020 can am sport. Now I have it just like I want it. Although still adding stuff, haha. I didn't do that on my previous sxs and feel like I wasted money buying the upgraded version. Thanks for all you do for the sport!
That's awesome. Thank you for watching!!
I completely agree. Unless money is no object buy the cheaper one and add tires when you can afford it. Like 90% of us do.
I would buy this base model to customize it the way I would want it. Thanks for sharing another great video!
Thank you!! 👊💥
Either model would be great to have. The DPS has more room to grow and has all the potential of it's older brothers. Note that that cargo box has a pin on the hydraulic shock to remove for better access for maintenance it opens to 90 degrees. The thing I like about the new Commander is all the factory options for accessories from windshield to cargo bins. They fix perfectly and they have almost everything you want to add to make it your own. I know I own a new XT-P and I love it.
Like anything you already plan to upgrade. It makes more sense and is usually cheaper to buy cheap and upgrade where you want and with what you actually want
Watched your latest Rmax video. I have the 2022 Rmax Sport and love it. Wish I could ride it in those locations in Arizona
It's a great machine. This trip was really fun. Bucketlister for sure.
Smarter wise, get the XT if going to just add the same accessories anyways. If not needing the XT upgrades, or going to hit up the aftermarket rather than OEM accessories, go with this base model. How is the in cab noise level vs a Defender HD8? Also, please address the driveline vibration/rattle noise so many are complaining about already. Maybe reach out to BRP and see what they have to say. Even after BRP’s bandaid to correct this, people are still saying the rattle noise is there. It’s the only reason I am hesitant to order one. Awesome review and content! Keep it coming!
I bought the xt model. The roof , bumper and winch were a must have , plus the green Color of the dps was a deal breaker for me personally. But had mine for 6 months and love it
I agree with you if you are on a budget , if not buy the top of the line. Thanks Luke
Thank you! 👊💥
I’d definitely get the XT. 64” vs the DPS 60” ride better! Plus it’s a great deal with everything you get! Only wish they gave them the same shocks as the mavericks, I know the XTP comes with fox shocks, but they all should! Can’t wait to add a new commander to my collection!
I like the idea of buying abase model dps, and adding the upgrades that fit my needs and riding style.
I bought the dps because I knew it was going fit in my enclosed trailer, already put the bumpers, winch and windshields. Wheels and tires can wait until these wear out.
I have the new XTP Max, very smooth and quiet inside. I love how I can talk to the wife and kids easily while riding. The mid range is also very great, riding with my moms may sport max she's at least 500 rpm higher riding same speed and much louder inside. The sport has a higher max rpm and I'm waiting for Dalton to release a kit as I don't want to lose my mid range or bottom end but the commander has a lot less top end. Only gripe on my xtp is the 8 ply tires are stiff and heavy but I don't have to worry about flats at least, as mentioned clutching can be fixed. Good advice ofor buying DPS. If you can't afford the XTP then DPS is fine if you upgrade tires. Riding normal trails the stock tires are OK, but in mud and rock you'll want 30s for sure.
Guys you pull the pin on the shock and bed goes vertical for maintenance.
👍👍 Awesome review keep up the great work guys I especially like how you showed us where the intakes were and how deep you can get it in the water As sometimes water holes are unavoidable on the trails I'm curious to see What manufacturer has the best intake location Hopefully you continue to give us this info on upcoming walk around
Thanks Adam!!
I ordered the dps max in February, took delivery late July. I’m using it for hunting and work around the ranch. I don’t think I’d benefit too much from fox shocks. Instead, I used the money saved to install snow tracks so I can use the machine year round.
I've had a 2014 Commander Max, and currently have a KRX-1000 and an RMAX-2 LE. (I went with the RMAX cause I couldn't FIND a new Commander XTP! Stoopid pandemic!) I am not one who enjoys working on my vehicle, or installing anything beyond basic accessories. So, I am big on buying things from the dealer with all that stuff already installed, or having them do it. The fun for me is in the ride, not the maintenance!
Hey guys- check out this reply about winning a prize. Is this legit? Or am I being scammed?
I have on order an xt over the dps for a few reasons. 1 winch,roof, bumpers, accent lights. 2 arched A arms, more travel. 3 painted plastics. Also believe resale value maybe more. I had a 2020 commander dps and loved it but I do know what it in tails to add accessories. Most people would rather have it come with as much as possible, to spend more time on the trail than in the garage installing parts.
I like the DPS model with the option to add aftermarket parts as you said. Since this shares much of the architecture with the new Maverick Sport and Trail I'm sure there are many options to customize to your needs. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the base model with smaller engine too.
If your going to do a bunch of upgrades, it's usually wiser to start with the base model.
Can't wait to upgrade my Commander
I bought an xt last spring because that is what was available, I wanted an xtp or the base because I prefer to add my own accessories. I’m not disappointed I’m waiting to wear out the stock tires before I upgrade and I will be switching to the maverick sport clutching to fix the drive ability you mentioned
As always great content and excellent review
Thank you!!
I would go for the base model just to get myself into one for a cheaper price and just add the accessories i want as I go.
i bought the xt two seater cause it had everything i wanted.totally happy with machine.the aluminum wheels give you a little mor eground clearance than steel.
In Canada, it’s a $3500 difference between the DPS and XT. If you can live with the green colour, the DPS is the way to go, that way you can add the type of roof you want, add the winch you want, add the tires you want and you can do it little by little without breaking the bank.
I bought the xtp Max. Love it but also wish it was better in the power side. Hopefully can am will make an update/grade available for it soon. Otherwise I’ll need to wait for the warranty to run out then find my own way. 😉🥴
What's the fun in buying a fully built vehicle with no personality with it. I've always bought base models in my vehicle's, ya you can spend all the money on the best of the best but, there's always someone with the same thing. Like I said before it's your's so make it you own and have fun with it be the one to stand out 👍🇨🇦💪
As always a very informative video. I would personally opt for the XT or XT-P in this instance. I am dangerous with any sort of tools. In my case having the winch and brush guard as well as the roof already in place would be far preferable. For someone more in tune with all things mechanical the basic model might be the way to go. Another factor could be the cost of tires, rims, roof, etc as compared to the price difference between the basic and various upgrade models. It’s certainly good to have options though.
Thanks Gary!
I’ve had a plane jane Polaris ranger and I froze my butt off in the winter months with fabric doors. I moved up to a ranger north star and have loved everything but it’s weight. Some may like it’s heft.
I think that you are correct in doing the upgrades yourself and making this machine your own.
Just watched the Can Am Commander Max DPS Overview. Buy the XT model vs DPS? I guess that depends so much on the rider. Do I just want ride it as soon as I can get it, not have to spend time buying, ordering the extra accessories, putting them on and are they actually available or on backorder. But, if you enjoy the extra work installing the accessories and maybe just getting a few extras for your SXS, customizing it the way you want.
I would buy the upgraded model. Otherwise it would take a long time to get what I really want. I’m going use the stock tires till they are worn out. Might as well get it right the first time.
I personally like the base max dps 1000R model over the XT because of the customization aspect of it. People who love to get creative and "design" their own vehicle can do it without purchasing a vehicle that has options added to it that is added into the sticker price when their only going to have them removed anyway. Great idea to have a base with little to no extras, a XT with some useful options and the fully loaded Limited. Id love for Can-Am to have this model with a optional upgraded motor/transmission as well for those who want to build the power machines.
To me base is the way to go. For one it’s Fairly affordable. And you can make it yours and customize as you go and your budget allows. That’s where all the fun is. I bought a base model 22’ defender max Hd7 back in April and it’s all the machine an average Joe would ever need. Works perfectly for my family of 5. I highly recommend you check out the new HD7 engine if you guys haven’t. It is with out question the smoothest and quietest single cylinder Engine I’ve ever been around. And the new P drive clutch is really smooth as well. Good video man. Love these new commanders as well.
Oh and the trail force tires are fine. They work great an get the job done. But I didn’t some research and they are made by Wanda. I guess can am contracted with them to cut cost over the bighorns would be my guess. None the less they’re fine. I’ll eventually put an all terrain type truck tire on something like a terrabite or bfg km3 down the road.
Thank you!!
I would buy the DPS because I could take my time building my machine with a mix of factory and aftermarket parts.
Agreed! 💯
It’s almost always better to customize to get what you want, vs. trying to accept what the manufacturer has decided for you.
Why so many build an aircraft from a kit, so they can build it to suit their specific needs or desires.
It’s not for everyone, but the freedom to have that option is a big deal!
I would go for the XT, has most of what I want. I suggest 2 winches for the build, front and rear.
The Drive Modes & Gauge cluster alone makes the XT a better value in my opinion. Even if you plan on changing wheels & tires. The roof is fine for most that aren't building a custom cage. Either way, Can- Am built a great unit here.....
I would buy the XT. As a Gen 1 commander XT owner I can appreciate the accessories that are standard that cannot be added on like the switchable drive modes and the gauge cluster. The gauges on the dps look like something on a cheap UTV
Interestingly years ago, AC's Havok had 2000lb towing and 1200 capacity
There's also a video of it outhaulimg the competition for traction in pulling a tractor trailer uphill.
Thanks Textron for pooching AC 🙄
Are the arched a-arms on the xt models worth the cost difference? Can-am site claims more travel but wasn’t sure a) if the dps could be upgraded, and b) if it even matters.
I'd buy the DPS, simply because I'd rather add on my own upgrades myself. with the quality control the past few years, I trust my work over the factories.
I have tried for months to buy the new commander but all are on back order, in my region. This unit I pick over the Tyrex4 and the Yamaha R max. But I buy the base model and add all aftermarket goodies to it.
I would go for the XT. I bought a 2018 DPS to save money but then had to put a lot of $ into accessories to get it where I wanted. I think my next one will be a XTP model.
DPS vs XT for $1800 difference for the 2 seater and $2600 for the 4 seat, If it was me and I was looking at a 2 seater and wanted a color and winch it's more economical to get the XT, the 4 seater that's harder to justify as the XT only comes in one color so it would come down to if you like all the differences. I personally think the 4 seater makes less economical as I am sure you can customize things better, like better/higher capacity winch and possible a roof with speakers. With all this said, i you just want to get in it and go I'd budget for the XT as that will get you everything you need on basic trails off the show room floor.
I hope y’all discuss the driveline rattle that a lot of us are having with the Max models. My XT has been great with the exception of that darn rattle. Also, the XT is the better buy for me. Mostly due to the arched a-arms, 15” of travel, and wider stance.
I would enjoy hearing more about the driveline rattle too. I bought a 22 commander xtp and the rattle is painful to listen too after we just spent 30k for the unit.
I would upgrade it myself That way I get exactly what I want
Like the XTP package with 4wd diff lock instead of Visco Lock.
I love the idea of a DPS package on the Can Am commander for do it yourself add on’s. I love the Commander. Great video.
Thanks Gerald! 🤘
XT comes with arched A-arms, 15 inches of travel, winch, front bumper, cool can am driving lights, bigger tires , better wheels, roof and more color options making it a much better value in my opinion.
I bought the xt, 2021. The only reason was because I liked the blue color!! Otherwise would have bought the XTP.
I never considered a Can Am before until I saw this. I’ve been looking at the blue XT, as I would be adding the windshield and winch anyways. I would want the 2 seater though. Can’t wait to see how the build turns out.
Long term reliability is also a concern, but it can’t be any worse than my 2 year old Honda Pioneer with 700 miles on it that left me stranded in the middle of the forest a few weeks ago.
Another thing I can’t figure out, is the DPS model more narrow than the XT model? I’d rather have more narrow.
@@alleghenyamerican1 DPS models are 60". XT700 is 62" XT Max is 64".
@@finerbiner thanks bud!
I think it’s smarter to get the dps because I would be changing suspension components to give more clearance on either model so might as well spend less up front
I am looking at a commander xt for me and my fiance. We currently have a rzr trail and it is not the ideal bike for us since the box is tiny and the cab is small. We also looked at the xtp but for the price difference I didn't think it was worth seeing ash how I don't think with my type of driving I need fancy shocks or beadlock wheels
Gotta hand it to Canam - that’s a good looking machine!!! Love the reviews guys!
Great looking machine. Thanks for tuning in! 🤘👊💥
I would buy the DPS and make my own modifications.
I would just buy the dps and drop a little bit more money to already have the tires and roof.
I think buying the base model would be better, because you can put the accessories you want on it and make it close to an xt or better than an xt
I’d have to weigh the options of upgrading and see if the cost of the accessories is cheaper. Otherwise if it’s cheaper just buy the upgraded XT
Either could be justified. I personally would buy the xt, bumper, winch, roof, and aluminum wheels is a good baseline for the money.
How’s the leg room?
I love them I hope they make a xmr 4 seat as well
That'd be wicked.
@@dirttraxtv if they make one I would buy one or if they made a general highlifter edition would be good
I think if I bought a base model to save money I would drive it as is and ad to the unit as I see how I would use it as sxs’s are not cheap
Think I saw that the tilting bed is 2 position. Goes all the way vertical to get better access to motor for service.
Luke, if a customer is planning on installing their own accessories themselves then it make more sense for them to be able to pick and choose their parts within their budget So go with the DPS. However if we factor in shop install time of the accessories then it will bring the price up beyond expectations of just costing out the accessories.
If you don't want to spend time, or simply don't know how to install your goodies, then let the guys at BRP do it from factory and purchase the XT
Excellent points! 👍
My thought process was that a person would be adding aftermarket upgrades, not can am upgrades. If you intend to install the SAME parts that come on the XT, they it is, by far, the better option. But, if you intend to add a non can am roof and non can am wheels/tires etc, better to get the base model.
Thanks, love your videos. I would buy the XT. But actually I would buy a Honda!
I would get the xtp. Way better than a pioneer.
Fair enough, Troy! Thanks for watching!! 🤘
Cool, they are taking advantage of the sport platform. The doors and interior seal the outside dust and mud outside. Easy belt access. Hydraulic lifters mean it never needs valve adjustments. Seats are removed with no tools. Huge dash storage.
Is there a performance difference with the XT. Maybe they put the sport 75 hp in it.
Hey Luke! The issue with the motor you mention in the video, is it only for the 4 seater or did you notice it in all new gen Commander??
Ive noticed it on all commanders, including ones with sport mode.
@@pavmentsurfer13 ok thanks for the reply. Love the show! Keep em coming!!
I would buy the XT, it has all the accessories I would add to the dps for a little less $.
I own a 2022Commander XT700. The reason I got the XT is exactly as you stated. A new set of tires, wheels, a winch, a roof and the bumper are a bargain if you are happy with these items. I just want to ride, not work on it so perfect for me.
As a buyer of the XT version over this. I will point out something that Luke didn't mention is the XT has the switchable driving modes which would help with what he was saying was disappointing for him.
Will you have a top speed video for Canam 2022 max DPS
Sure we can!
I would go with the xt or xtp. They come with the stuff I would add if I would go with the dps. If it was just about wanting other wheels and tires I would just sell the stock to pay for the new ones.
Buy the dps and upgrade it. Simply because you can add options that area not available stock and most of the time cheaper than the dealership wants to charge. Ive been looking at the hd10. Went into the dealership. Has a sticker on it for 21995, so I ask what the out the door is. Guy has to take my email and send it over. Next day he sends me a purchase price for 36k. Almost 15k in crap charges. Ummmm no. So I will find a slightly used one (6 seater) and do the upgrades after market. By the way, 36k is the otd cash price. Who knows what it would have been if I wanted to finance it. The front brush guard is a must for me with a wench. Thats how I plan to load amd unload. Im in AZ but if you have a line on what im looking for, feel free to reach out. I dont mind a road trip. Im sure when the economy tanks right before or after Christmas these will be much more affordable.
I would have to get the xt because my wife would not let me put a ton of stuff on it after I paid so much for it
I would go with the DPS for trail riding and upgrade as my riding areas dictate. If the XT is truly a 64" then why not just go with an x3? It's close to the same $$$$$.
i feel it would be better to get the dps and add your own shwag to it if your going to bad adding parts to it anyways saves you some money
I don't know why but the front of this machine looks almost like the new Polaris sportsman or is that just me... Overall I like it.
I think the XT it just worth the money
I would buy that one on this video then I could add all the extra stuff onto it keep up the great videos
Xtp is the one to get. Locking diff and beadlocks
Thanks Ryan! 🤘👊💥
When dumping the bed disconnect the pin from the shock and the bed will raise out of the way completely
I would buy the DPS Model and add my own Accessoires because i would want it to be just the the i like it. You said for Same people those vehecles are not affordable wich is right and if you wayt a long time auntill you can afford a vehecle like that you'd want it to be perfect für you and maybe want to add your own stuff anyway but if you buy the xt Model instead you'd maybe leave it like that because you now can't afford the aftermarket stuff anymore.
Buy the dps model and customize it with things you want.
👍
