Polaris Ranger ATVs. November 2008

Well, it's fortunate the good folk at Polaris are not common-sense sort of people - not only have the capabilities not diminished, but the Ranger Crew tows more, carries more and rides smoother than ever!

The Ranger Crew features two rows of three across seating, with comfort for passengers at an all-time high. Independent rear suspension (22.9cm travel), 27.9cm ground clearance and On Demand All-Wheel Drive combine to ensure Polaris delivers on its promise of the smoothest ride on the market.

And while the Crew is hauling six passengers, it can also haul a phenomenal load with it. A 907kg towing capacity is industry leading, the rear dumping cargo box boasts a massive capacity of 454kg, while the huge under-seat storage boxes are hugely handy!

The Crew jets along with a 40hp, 700 Twin EFI engine that has a top speed of 71kph, while the On-Demand All-Wheel Drive automatically senses when you need more traction and locks in the front wheels. To ensure minimal damage to the terrain, the Crew uses a turf-friendly, electronic locking rear diff.

Among the other developments for 2008, the Ranger Crew comes complete with new dual-piston caliper front and rear disc brakes, providing 30 percent better braking.

Ranger RZR
If the Ranger Crew is a work vehicle, then the Ranger RZR is most definitely a FUN vehicle!

Equipped with 2 car like seats, steering wheel and pedals, CVT automatic transmission and powered by an 800cc liquid-cooled twin cylinder, this is a complete fun package.

A number of RZR (razor) variants are available, and most have a roll cage, and run on demand four-wheel drive, but can be left in rear wheel drive for extra fun. You can change between 2 and 4WD on the run.

Price at $16,995 the RZR has plenty of technology and can actualy hit speeds of 100 km/h!
