I agree with you both. But reason I like Can Am is because of the engine, the competition isn't making aircraft engines either...

Nice buggy, I have the 2021 hd 10 limited. It has door locks. But I think your doors are much nicer, besides can't lock them. I have 7500 miles on mine. Biggest thing I've noticed that has caused the most problems. Is the front suspension. Weakest part of the machine. I highly recommend you grease the fitting every time you wash the machine. The bushings in my opinion are not built big enough for the amount of weight and usage it gets. I was having alinement issues. And found out my bushings were worn. Put the machine up on jacks and shake the tires to see how much play you have.. Easy cheep fix replacing out the bushings and re-alining the front. Keep up with all the maintenance and its schedules. Fyi belt chang at 6000. You get to know these machines after a while. Today I found a coolant leak on mine. Not sure how to get to the dam hose and fitting to repair it.But I'm not paying 120 bucks an hour for some else to fix it. I will figure it out..Good luck with yours . And don't forget get to be on top of your maintenance.

I've got the same machine in stone grey. Just got it in June. I also have the same complaints as you! For the money we spend on a limited model, should come with everything from factory. Not limited, meaning you have to add. Very nice machine & also bias towards Can Am!

I have a 2020 HD8. No complaints.

the cost of the competition with the radio is 4k more msrp than the limited. however i have a limited and i’ve installed a meyham manufacturing head unit in that spot you talked ab. it has a 7” display, water proof to extent but it’s in a cab anyway. bluetooth and wireless carplay

Old truck with a plow would move snow for less. And they have door locks. 😊

Great review. I'm with you. For 30 grand I would expect some if not all of those issues should be included. If not, an upgraded model with those needed items. The company knows these things are what most people want and or need. Marketing games. We can add another few thousand dollars for them. They are trying to appear as the better value. By removing what you will pay extra for.

Thanks for the video. I’m pricing one out today. Not for snowplowing though. :-). Mostly for Hunt camp.

My '24 model looks just like this. I agree with your critic of this machine . We also discovered that the door seals show day light at the upper back corners, and our dealer had to adjust the doors to correct that . I don't have a blade for it yet, but its on the Christmas list. New sub, nice video, and thanks for sharing!

Definitely should have gotten the lube for life. 7500 miles on mine. And I have not changed my oil once. Dealer does it for me on a schedule. It helps keep that machine in good shape. I use mine alot. And they are to expensive not to take the best care you can give them.

I’m gonna say maybe a side by side isn’t what you want… idk. I looked at hp and trq , tow rating , load capacity. The insides of these machines these days is incredible! Checking cattle with it in any weather is a breeze.

I had a 2019 Cab Model XT. (Basically the same as a Limited without the A/C.) Mine did have door locks and it also had a fancier instrument panel so I agree with that. For the wiper, use a coating like RainX on the windshield, it helps immensely. As for the street-kit, they should offer that model as they already sell it in Europe. You can add it but that's a pain in the ass. For your sake, I hope to god they upgraded the pwr window switches. I burned through those rather quickly. That was my absolute biggest complaint. Other than that, I would still take this over the comp. Better ingress/egress due to door design and extremely tight turning radius for its size. Lastly, good video but lose the mirror shades when filming, too distracting.

Ive never used and XMR, but my thought is the XMR suspension and other features are a little more sport focus rather then the defender is almost completely geared towards utility/work focus. I am in Casper.

Good video, yes some maybe petty but hey you’re just letting people know. I have a 2019 xt and agree the headlights are like candles. Seems all BRP are terrible my skidoo is the same but like you say there’s a lot more good stuff than bad. Cheers

I don’t think my headlights are too dim I think they’re just angled way too high to be effective

Hello brother, I appreciate your feedback. The main comment you have that I agree with is the door locks. I love our machine. Thanks for your time and stay cool and safe.

My ‘21 DL has blue painted panels. Both doors have outside locks though not the ability to unlock from the inside. Has been in the shop for warranty work on pass door not shutting properly so much that it could open while driving. AC wouldn’t come on for a while and the drivers side door window control would not work. The last two items seemed to be common complaints by others. I don’t like the chintzy cable keeping the doors from flying open. Don’t care for the suicide style door either. Responsiveness from the gas pedal in my 1000 cc engine is poor. Nothing like my Outlander 1000 XTP. Hard to see anything in the rear. Believe it should have more factory default features and options. It’s a beast in the trail and I’m the snow. Love the heater in the winter and AC in the summer.

A full roof bar light would serve you well particularly with plowing.

Nice review.. I like these best as the engine is NOT below the seats!. I would add a Padlock hasp on both doors.. then send your mod in to a can-am forum and let the Can-am CEO look at that little mod. How's the defroster work? Well ... I hope if your plowing snow.

@GoodysGarage

24 күн бұрын

Defrost works good ! Only time I have issues is my own doing by shoveling snow and getting my cloths wet while body temps up then I steam up the windows a bit but nothing that causes me any trouble.

I looked a Polaris Ranger and Can Am defender! After looking the fit and trim of both machines I chose the Can Am! Polaris has one stupid shifter and their fit and trim was bad and they actually were more expensive than the defender! Everyone I know up north all run Can Am and it’s hard to find one up there because of that fact! We love ours and has held up to everything we’ve throw at it hunting and farm work!

I currently own a 2015 Commander with 18000 km (11000 miles) and I will be buying something to replace it in the next year or so. I really like the full cab on the Defender LTD but I cant believe they got rid of door locks. I dont feel safe leaving it parked outside in my driveway that way, and I dont want to have it taking up space in my garage all the time. I also dont like the speedometer, it's cheap looking and not nearly as nice as the current setup in my older Commander. Polaris seems to have copied the old speedometer system from Can Am for their SxS. I also can't believe they don't have turn signals. There are lots of trail systems where they would come in handy and many municipalities allow ATV's to ride short distances on town roads to get gas, food etc. CF Moto includes them on all their machines. Your complaints are not petty. I am partial to Can Am but if I am ready to buy a new machine and a competitor had locks, signals, horn, and better speedo for the same or similar money I'd go with the competitors because they obviously care more about their buyers. In Canada a Defender LTD is 35K plus accessories. That's very pricey for what these machines are and certain features are just expected at that price point.

The model polaris you ate talking about with ride command comes at 32 grand amd speakers cost even more after that. So these are comparable on price but can am builds a beefier unit compare to polaris

yeah man its close. wipers ac/heat. totally agree- where the heck is the turn signal and tunes. otherwise solid rig. do the windows drop down or are the stationary.

My opinion on a lock, is the low life bastards will bust the door or break the glass to get in best to let them in. Sucks because I keep some survival stuff in mine. Yep very low tech, then stereo, ya should have it easier to put in gear. Lights suck. I had to put light bars on mine. FYI, the wipers yep, a slower speed and or a intermittent would be nice and to note, the bastards put a fuse box or a fuse spot for the wipers up under where the stereo would go.

The ac problem is a Maintenance / lack if filter issue. The coil get clogged and then the high pressure switch trips out. The fix. Use a garden hose and clean the coil from where the , so called filter is. These machines get really dirty. And the systems in them needs to be taken in consideration.

I have the same machine but in the 4 door. I have the same complaints, the biggest one being the lack of door locks. I just put Beamtech LED bulbs in mine last weekend and they work great. Big improvement over the standard bulbs. Got them on Amazon for $30 dollars a pair. I had Driven install the turn signal kit when I got mine back in February. Well worth the money to have that done. I also did the light bar on the front bumper and that makes a big difference as well. One other thing I did was I bought a winch remote control kit on Amazon for $20 dollars and it works great. You are correct in that for the money these things cost, a lot more features should be standard. Great job and glad you are enjoying yours.

For $30K all I hear is what is wrong, for a little toy at this price, all should be stout.

$30k for this is unbelievable and a total rip off, you can buy off lease a Tacoma for just a few bucks more….That has everything you want and can do most everything this can…..
