Ranger XP900 or Commander 800XT!?!

Good to know bucktaker! Thanks for chiming in.

I don't think the 900XP has that feature... but it's a moot point for me... I won't be on the grass with it anyway.

I didn't realize you were talking about an RZR. Yeah no unlocking diff.

Have you driven a vehicle with a 100% locked rear end? They are awful in my opinion.

No, I mean a Ranger

GearHead,I believe You can get the Ranger 900 XP/EPS with a bucket seat option.That would have to be the LE package,I'm thinking.

To tell you the truth the only thing keeping me looking at the Ranger is the fact that it's a 3 seater... that and I can get a full cab with heat.The Commander's website only shows half doors & no rear glass.

I'd love to see the new Yamaha Viking with a cab option. I am sure one is coming. The three across seat on it looks like it would be a comfortable.

Oh well it has unlocking rear end then. That's a great feature!!!! Saves on tire rear and cv joint wear too! (0;

Well my 3 year old daughter helped me decide this morning. I was watching Commander vids on youtube when she sat down beside me and started watching with me. I explained to her that the Jeep was sold and that someone was going to come take it home with them, but we'll get something like this so we can still go for rides. She was very concerned that we couldn't take her friends that come over for rides... so that sealed the deal. Ranger it is.

Having sold the Jeep, decided what to get, and the wife's strike over (legislated back to work)... well that's three steps closer to taking the plunge. The last is convincing her to let me get all the accessories I want

 

[Green Power]

So what accessories were you thinking?

 

[Relic]

GearHead,have You looked at the Kawasucky,Teryx4?They are a four seater.Just a thought.Glad to hear Your wife is back to work.

 

[NS Gearhead]

So what accessories were you thinking?

Full hard cab with wiper, heat, and stereo, hyd. plow with shifter controls, tracks, headach rack, rear bumper, center console...

Still have to negotiate with the Mrs, then the dealer. LOL Looks like I'll be into the low $30s...with1/3 down from the jeep sale.

I realize I am a bit late to the party ...but I have a 2010 Ranger XP800. Had a hard time deciding between the RZR and the Ranger. Boy did I make the correct choice. Three very important features...1) 3 wide seating...almost always gather a couple of grandkids and sometime wife. 3 wide is really nice! 2) Ease of getting into and out of. I use mine a lot in the woods and find myself climbing in and out a lot...would be really unpleasant in most of the other choices...NO problem with the flat floor getting in/out...now would not have it any other way. 3) Box size and capacity and trailering capacity...you will be surprised how much you find you want to put in the back...and how nice it is to tow a smallish trailer...and a couple of times a not so small trailer. 2" receiver hitch.

All-in-all I made the right choice for my use...now if I could just justify adding one of the full size Sportsman 850's regular ATVs...sweet engine and machine. Ah...soon snow will be gone and I can get back into the woods...

Glad to hear you like yours!

Now that I've decided, I'm getting really stoked! ... not to mention spring starting here in NS.

If you haven't yet.....look into the Intimidators. Spec for Spec higher then all competitors in Towing Capacity's and Payload. 750cc Gas and 1,000cc Diesel machines available. It's an american company 100% in and out. They offer a classic series which is a 3 person bench seat. Crew cab series which has 2 rows of seating for 6. And a truck series which is the only vehicle of its kind with a 6ft long flat bed with fold down aluminum sides.
