| At this point, after sitting in one anyway, I'd have to drive it too but........I'm impressed by its robust-ness and comfort, Guess old Jimbo's slowing down. 99% of my riding is creek-bed at 5 mph. It has way more clearence than an "S" or a Rhino. My hope would be for 2010 they would install the 800 motor, any rumors??? | |

| The Ranger is a bad-ass machine for sure! I like it, but I wanted a sportier bike. Pate, your Rhino is bad-ass too. You have it to go fast........get yourself a cumfy utility. | |

| Yeah, the Ranger is nice. It also has a lot to offer if you own a camp or go to a campground. You can haul a 50-80cc four-wheeler in the back of those things. The beds are HUGE!! | |

you was down on Po Po's..... No change of heart yet Chris. Just looked at one today parked by an "S". Everythings bigger, axles, A-Arms, frame thickness, skids, leg-room, but the bed is ugly......too boxy, I could see where it could be a serious trail machine with a few mods. It's a Jeep Rubicon, the "S' is a Suzuki-Samuari.............with a V-8........ | |

| I was watching a video on You Tube. Guys in RZRs were spinning out trying to crawl out of a large ditch. The Ranger just walked right up it. It probably has a lot to do with the weight putting power to the ground. | |

| ah glad to see another rhinoan that has seen what the new ranger has to offer. the xp does make it hard to decide whether or not to stick with the herd or branch off on their own. i too had gone to see the razors but then i saw the ranger i forgot all about the rzr. Tony on this site, cant remember his handle on here works at the local po-po palace and tried his best to get me to test the rzr but i chose the ranger. Steering is ultra sweet , i had to ask if this unit had power steering, it didnt. the only thing i saw was no engine braking
definetly worth looking at if you want to haul ass or rocking chairs | |
