2016 Polaris Ranger 570 XP -- mistake?

[iowa]

I am going to have headaches if I purchase this? It fits my budget but I hear that people have problems with them. It's somewhat scary that this only has a 6 months warranty.

Should I save a few thousand more dollars and buy something different/better next year?

Thanks.

If in doubt, wait to buy better quality.

I am on my third Yamaha product;currently a Viking.No problems with any of them other than wear items.Used about every day for my business.Last one traded had 4,000 miles and only oil changes and tires.

I am definitely impressed with the Yamaha warranty.

I don't think it would be a mistake. I've had zero issues with my 2016 Xp570. I don't really use it that hard. I pull a sweeper. I've had it in some pretty deep mud. I've ridden a lot of trails. But mostly it replaced my golf cart for neighborhood cruising.

I like how your Ranger is decked out. Is that a Polaris roof and windshield?

 

[stumpster]

Yes. Steel pro fit roof and fixed glass windshield. Both Polaris items.

What's the advantage of the steel roof vs. the plastic aftermarket ones?

 

[stumpster]

I needed steel so I would have sufficient ground plane for my CB antenna. Other than that... I probably would have gone with plastic.

I have a 2015 Ranger 570 with no problems. I know the 16's have a quieter muffler. I had a Polaris 500 ATV for 5 years before the Ranger and no problems with it either. I had an extended warranty on it, but never used it.
