    I think the powertrain pushes the ranger to the front of the line, as far as choice goes. A 1500 triple sounds awesome!

    I’m taking xpedition for the suspension and the seat comfort the seats on the xpedition are the exact same seats as my trucks with leather and the hvac on the xpedition is the same thing as my grandpa Buick and I can add a street legal kit for the xpedition because it uses the same wiring as my polaris General and I added a street legal kit there and it depends on location since if you live on a farm your going to choose the ranger but if your just going trail riding and camping after your trail ride then the xpedition fits you better and I feel like the xpedition and the ranger are both test machines to see what works and what don’t work so they can upgrade there machines like the rzr General and sportsman and I have a feeling that Polaris will use the engine on the ranger to do that and I have a feeling that they will use the jbl audio system paired with the rockford fosgate roof for more sound and not only that they will probably add hvac to the general and rzr with there different hvac systems so maybe we will see a NorthStar rzr xp 1500cc with fox racing suspension and if I have to I would engine swap the new Polaris engine on the ranger with like a beater of a Prius just to see how it runs so everything there releasing now is the test machines while working on the rzr to have a NorthStar and not only that they’re probably going to be making a new side by side to have aspects of the rzr rangers General and xpedition and will say this is the new Polaris versatility side by side with the best features of the ranger rzr General and xpedition

    For those talking about cost...yes it's crazy expensive but just wait and see how long it takes to get one. They will sell no problem. I'm a big guy than has a Ranger and wants the new Ranger 1500 but won't get it if I can't license it for highway use. Neither my dealer or Polaris knows the answer yet. For sure it can't go to UTV Parks because it's over 1000 cc's and 2000 lbs. For that matter the Expedition technically is too heavy to ride in most parks. I don't really care about the park thing but some people might.

    If your a trail rider the expedition is the smart option. They did not build the ranger to be a trail rig. I think it will ride more like a jeep and you are not going to be able to hammer down in rough trails and still have a smooth ride.

    Polaris is killing the game with new sxs and promo videos. The new ranger is leaps and bounds over the old one. I would really like to see honda yamaha and kawasaki make beast machines like the pro r. The japanese performance market is sad. Id like to see big hp engines big suspension 74 to 76inches wide beasts but im really shocked the japanese market known for performance is putting out these twin cylinder non turbo engine's making lil hp with small a arms, small swing arms and small radius rods i mean these are the best they have to offer!? These are in the same market as a the new polaris xp and the xp is way down the polaris food chain. Im just saying id really like to see these companies go nuts with it like polaris did with the pro r. Look at the japanese car and motorcycle industry the japanese can not be beat but in sxs industry they offer the least. I dont get it. Im a honda nut but im disappointed not just in honda but all of the japanese manufacturers in the sxs market. Im not saying they are bad machines im saying this is the BEST TOP OF THE LINE MACHINE they have to offer. Its ridiculous. Thats the part that seems like a joke to me. You have yamaha yxz for track, kawasaki krx for rock and honda talon for trails. I want to see a all around machine with big inline4 dohc engines from all of them and have honda make a vtec sxs etc. They put inline4 engines into there sport and superbikes why aren't they in sxs!? I want to see big horse power big suspension wars like they did with cars and superbikes in sxs.
