Has the same 4x4 as the 2013 commanders, the QE Visco. Which is dam near a polaris 4x4, not as good but very very close. The reg visco is what was in mine and its a piece of and yeah they still have the itc..... I hate that mf.

These guys don't look to worried.




Another machine built for the West Coast. And I see no mention of the QE Visco lock mentioned anywhere......

Exclusive to Can-Am, Visco-Lok is a progressively and automatically locking front differential system, once 4x4 mode is se- lected. The system intelligently transfers power from a slipping front wheel to the opposing wheel with traction. Visco-Lok has no buttons to push or levers to pull. Plus, there’s no wheel hop or driveline wind-up so the system is totally transparent to the driver and extremely easy to steer. Visco-Lok gives progressive lock-up with no rev or speed limiter.




sounds like the same old 3x4 to me

I sure hope it's better. Polaris needs competion other wise they will keep making junk. There 4 wheel drive system sucks also everything is made from plastic and recycled beer cans.

Very interesting rear A arm/trailing arm system.....

Can Am style....

At first I thought the price was in line with the other manufacturers. Well kind of. this machine is not complete. You have to buy the bed.............

That's stupid......

the cockpit is the exact same as mine they did not change any of it, even the tac and speedo cluster is the same. There is a bed just more like a platform but for it to be usable for our purposes yeah you gotta buy the bed pan which is bs. The QE front end is the same crap, but it works faster IE engaging 4wd quicker.

Ca-am has enough issues with frames, electronics, and other weird issues lately. Now they come out with a SxS that has real emissions controls that includes a Catalytic Converter and 2 Oxygen sensors. Sure -- how fast can I buy one of those!!!????

NOT.... That is not the SxS to be the Guinea Pig in. Makes me wonder how well O2 sensors and an expensive Cat Converter does under water/mud. Also I wonder how a 550F+ Cat Converter would do riding in brush and weeds. They do that Cat Converter stuff and leave off the real needed stuff like power steering. I really think Can-am needs a little guidance. Ever sinse that developed that 3-wheel "motorcycle" they have lost their mojo.

That emissions technology needs to be proven off-road. I remember Farmers taking the Cat's off their trucks due to field fires.

I'm a Can-am fan but not for this one yet....

Yep, this thing is so special that they even are trying to follow in the Cats path

Busted!...LOL

lol nice photo shop

I am all for competition that should help drive better performance and quality. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out over the next couple of years. All i know is it is just like computers or cell phones, no matter what you will be out of data within a few months after purchasing. That means you better buy what you like and enjoy it for a while, and not get caught up in having the latest and greatest or you will never be happy. Just my two cents!

The more I see the more I like. I sure hope the four wheel drive works better or it will be a no-go for the Polaris guys to convert....

At this point I think the SXS market is getting too, "Keeping up with the Joneses-Syndrome."
I'm going to buy me a 2500.00 Suzuki-Samurai or a Geo-Tracker and have just as much, if not more, fun, and have a real heater........

and about 14K cheaper...lol

What i see is , the first time you bump the back tire on a tree.
I see that little strut rod in the rear bending like a tooth pick.
and then you got a warped ass end. What do yall think....

I guess other than that and the shitty 4wd system , its pretty cool..

It wont bend any easier than the cheap shit on the xp that has to be switched out for 800.00 bucks, someone will build a stronger part and bend everyone over to get it too .

It looks like the "bed" would end up hitting a tree first, I would be more worried about backing into a big rock or a stump. However, if I was driving and knew about that beforehand I think you could try to avoid doing that. But that strut does look a little fragile.

Overall I like it. Even if I never end up owning one it's good for the industry to have some stiff competition.
