I'm a little disappointed with it. When I was looking at SxS's I seriously considered a Ranger after seeing Bill's and what it would do. The few things I didn't like were the width and weight. When I heard Polaris was coming out with a revised Ranger I expected more. From what I've seen and read it falls short of my expectations. The bed is too small, basically useless. 10" of ground clearance, basically useless. It looks like the went after more of a Sport or Pre Runner type of market. Might be a great racer or dune/desert rig, but it doesn't do much as a trail rig. Here's a bunch more pictures of it, http://utilityoffroad.com/forum/topic.a ... C_ID=11044

"The Ranger RZR has nine inches of travel in the front, 9.5 inches in the rear and ten inches of ground clearance due to its double A-arm front suspension"
Image

Sure looks like more than 10"
From this side shot the bottom is even with the center of the tire.
25" or 26" tires?
So when you use all the travel the bottom hits the ground?

It would have to be inline with the the rest of the SxS's, probably close to $11k

Polaris did not hit a home run with this one they hit a GRAND SLAM...LOOKs like it spanks the other brands. looking forward to seeing one on the trail. now the other manufac have some thing to shoot for. Blam polaris picks up some market share. I must admit i am impresed with the way that polaris is so inovative with there products.

NICE WORK

Can't wait to get mine. I put a deposite on one a while back. Should be here in june. But Iam not buying it for rock crawling, I have enofe problems on the sportsman breaking the footwells (til I made steel ones)
One thing about the regular rhino is its a plastic floor I would break that in no time on rocks.
I got this for cruzing around camp at the sand dunes or taking to dog for a ride. It should also be a blast on F.S. roads with a Ice chest in the back.
