P1000 Pioneer vs Ranger

[JTW]

The thing I always heard about AC was that they were awesome with warranty claims.

Our local dealer has them and is awesome on warranty work!!

Polaris (and Yamaha) has/have been making these videos for years. Just biased propaganda I would never put any faith in regardless of which MFG they came from. There was one comparing the Ranger 570 to the 700. They started talking about how the door entry has 30% more foot room than the Honda. That's what i would call grasping at straws.

I'm hoping to be the guinea pig with a new 1000 Ranger. They were doing a contest called Ranger Country that I entered several times. The prize is a new 1000, and I am sure I will win it. Right after I ride a unicorn out of Lost Dutchman mine.

Hahahaha A poooolaris 1000
Your soul would feel empty in side. And you would sale it

I live in Kentucky. My soul already feels empty inside. Might as well have the Ranger too.

They are. I sent my clutches off to be machined and it really screwed it up. It leaked oil around the inner seal Arctic Cat replaced everything no questions asked.

Hope Textron keeps this going.

I think they will. They have the cash cat needed.

I towed a RZR out of the quick sand.

I could never replace my Honda P1-5 Zippy UTV. But the Maverick 900 HO looks great for two people doing some serous
trail busting.

Yea that's what we do, help fellow riders, no mater what they ride. HA!

The thing I'm lmao about the most is how they use both a regular and a crew model against only a P1k5 in all aspects kinda funny they didnt use the stretch limo crew cab on the fancy rolling road obstacles.
Is my P1k5 the best machine for all scenarios?? No. But neither is anyone elses brand in my opinion. I still believe that my P1k5 is like the jack of all trades master of none. It does everything I need it to and more so far!!!

Looking at your pictures, what did you do to the bed? Is the tail gate missing? What’s up with the bed sides and tail lights?

I stripped it down for better performance. Added a Teryx bucket seat back, Fox Shocks, etc. I need the better performance for riding with the 1000cc sport models. I drive my Yamaha YXZ when I ride with my Turbo buddies. Not willing to wait on the Honda Sport models but I'm really going to be disappointed if they don't come out next year.

Power commander wakes them up. Worth the coin.

Honda could have the lions share of the S x S sales if they would put eighteen inch suspension on the P1-5 platform, trailing arms of course!

The behind the scenes guys I've talked to really like the YZX platform but say the engine/trans combo is crap. Honda doesn't want to put something out there like Polaris that'll fall apart taking it off the trailer. They are also wary of pricing, they are already creeping near RZR territory with he LE and a sport would probably be there as well. They like the idea of hug suspension flex but again don't want to give you something that needs constant maintenance. Those trophy truck like numbers of suspension travel come at a price. Shocks that need maintenance just like the rest of the machine. Those guys racing Baja take those things apart or install new ones every day.

Guys give Honda crap about not ever putting aftermarket shocks on stuff out of the box but most riders out there couldn't tell the difference anyway. Slap a big FOX sticker on the damm things and they'd swear it rode like a dream. I've ridden in a newer Teryx 4 that rode like total ass with FOX shocks. Then I rode in a LE P1K with them and it was amazing. I think Polaris is on to something with their electronic suspension until something goes wrong and it's not cost effective to fix.

Im glad Honda paired with FOX, hopefully this is a sign of things to come for Big Red. I'm just upset I might not be in the business when it happens.

They should have included Super ATV A arms in there pairing.

I haven't seen many complaints on the Polaris forums about the new 18 Ranger XP 1000. Of course, they may not be whiners like the P1000 owners either. When I see hundreds of posts on how bad the clutch or heat is I surely won't buy one.

Have you seen the twenty some odd threads I have sprinkled throughout out this site stating the heat and clutch fix are fixed and I'm one happy camper?
