2012 Polaris RANGER Utility Side-by-Sides

4Nines · 07-26-2011, 09:33 PM

The RANGER line, with its flagship RANGER XP 800 model, continues to be the leading Side-by-Side brand in the world due to hardest working attributes such as powerful engines, On-Demand True All-Wheel drive, monstrous towing and large dump boxes coupled with smoothest riding features such as Independent Rear Suspension, high ground clearance and superior ergonomics.

For Model Year 2012, Polaris continues to build on the success of the RANGER brand with the addition of the Polaris Engine Braking System (EBS) on the RANGER HD 800 and the introduction of the new RANGER CREW Diesel.

The RANGER HD 800 is the pure utility work horse of the RANGER full-size line with its self-leveling, Nivomat® rear shocks, Electronic Power Steering and all the attributes that made RANGER the Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding vehicles on the market. For 2012, the RANGER HD 800 brings the addition of Polaris’ Engine Braking System (EBS) to make it work even harder. The Polaris EBS controls downhill braking to give you optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents, making carrying large loads even easier. For 2012, the RANGER HD 800 will be available in Sage Green.

Other full-size models offered for 2012 include the RANGER XP 800 in Sage Green, Solar Red and Polaris® Pursuit Camo; the RANGER XP 800 EPS in Sage Green and Solar Red; the RANGER Diesel in Sage Green; and the RANGER 6x6 800 in Sage Green and Solar Red. The RANGER XP 800 Limited Editions include Magnetic Metallic, Pearl White, Boardwalk Blue and the first-ever RANGER XP 800 with a shock package, the RANGER XP 800 Walker Evans edition. The RANGER XP 800 EPS Limited Editions include Sunset Red and Browning Edition Pursuit.

In 2011, Polaris entered the diesel Side- by-Side segment, with the introduction of the new RANGER Diesel. The RANGER Diesel shared the same full-size chassis as the RANGER XP 800 with the same attributes that made the RANGER line the hardest working, smoothest riding vehicles on the market. For 2012, Polaris is introducing its second diesel model and third vehicle to its multi-passenger line up, the RANGER CREW Diesel.

The RANGER CREW Diesel shares the same 904cc, three-cylinder YANMAR® diesel engine as the RANGER Diesel, with the ability to carry six adults in total comfort.
The engine is rubber-mounted to transfer minimal vibration to the operator, and provides low-speed torque to work harder. The fully-sealed, fixed center distance clutch driveline keeps water out of the clutches and provides better performance than competitive models.

RANGER CREW Diesel’s work ethic also includes a 55 amp alternator that gives the operator the ability to run many hard working, higher electrical load accessories, such as plows, extra lights, cab heaters and fans at the same time. It boasts a monstrous one-ton towing to tackle the toughest jobs and comes standard with a 2-inch hitch receiver to tow accessories with ease. Its 1,000 lb/454.5 kg capacity rear dump box has gas-assist dumping operation and accommodates many hard- working PURE Polaris accessories that go on and off in seconds.

RANGER Side-by-Sides are known to be the Smoothest Riding vehicles on the market and the RANGER CREW Diesel is no exception. Its long wheelbase combined with its fully-adjustable suspension creates a very smooth ride, even when fully-loaded. The vehicle’s suspension is the only four-corner adjustable suspension system that features Dual A-Arms with exclusive top-mounting-point adjustability. For recreational riding, the user can adjust to a softer setting or adjust stiffer for heavy-duty work. With a suspension travel of 9.6 in/24.4 cm up front, 9 in/22.9 cm in the rear and a ground clearance of 11.5 in/29.2 cm, the RANGER CREW Diesel provides a very comfortable ride.

To complement the suspension and travel, the RANGER CREW Diesel features On- Demand True All-Wheel Drive with VersaTrac that keeps you moving, automatically engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to two-wheel drive when you don’t. When in two-wheel drive, the VersaTrac Turf Mode switch unlocks the rear differential for easier, tighter turns that won’t tear up the grass.

Inside the cab, the vehicle has the ability to carry six adults comfortably due to its superior comfort and ergonomics, including a slide-through cab design for easy entrance and exit that also provides lots of legroom. Leaned seatbacks provide extra comfort during travel and 10-inches/25.4 cm of tilt steering-travel provides plenty of steering wheel position options for the driver. For 2012, The RANGER CREW Diesel will be available in Sage Green.

Other multi-passenger models not mentioned above include the RANGER CREW 800 in Sage Green, Solar Red and Polaris® Pursuit Camo with EPS and a Sandstone Limited Edition EPS model, and the RANGER CREW 500 in Sage Green, Solar Red and Polaris® Pursuit Camo, with a RANGER CREW 500 Turbo Silver Limited Edition Model.

Polaris will continue to offer the RANGER 500 EFI, RANGER 400 and RANGER EV midsize vehicles for 2012. The RANGER 500 EFI and RANGER 400 will be available in Sage Green, Solar Red and Polaris® Pursuit Camo, with a RANGER 500 EFI Sunset Red Limited Edition Model. The RANGER EV will be available in Boardwalk Blue and Polaris® Pursuit Camo

Very dissappointed in the new model introducton. Colors are dull and lifeless. Brought nothing new to the party. Wow!!!!

What were you looking for Blue Wave, HOT PINK ? Blue wave posts 1 negative post and is never heard from again. Sounds like Polaris's competition's troll just dogging Polaris and moving on to the next forum to post something negative there as well. Honestly, I only registered to comment on that jerks comment but I've been surfing every corner of the web looking for info on UTV's because I've never owned one and am considering getting one for the farm and recreational use. I've been surfing for a couple of weeks a couple of hours a day and for my needs, the Polaris Ranger 800 wins hands down given the price, specs and looks etc. for what you get in a UTV. I think I can probably live with one of their color selections which are fine in my book. My cousin has the Rzr and loves it. I need a little more practicallity in mine like the larger carrying capacities but I'm convinced the Ranger 800 SP can fill the need for fun as well. I'm considering the Walker Evans LE edition as my first choice. I'd appreciate anyone's comments on their experience with any of these Ranger 800 XP's but especially the Walker Evans edition. Is the upgraded suspension worth the extra cost or even necessary given the Rangers already very good suspension from what I understand ? Also, what about the EPS (power steering). Is it worth another $900.00 ? When I rode with my cousin in his Rzr, I could not believe how absolutely great the ride was. He has the Walker Evans set up on his unit. Any comments other than another cheap shot by BLUE WAVE would be appreciated especially if they keep me from wasting money on extras I really don't need.

I had a 2011 Yamaha Rhino 700, I liked the clutch system in it not letting the belt lose tension but the towing and hauling capacities were laughable. Looking into a Polaris Ranger at some point when I can afford it. Probably not for a long time due to lack of funds, but came to realize that I'd have to change brands in order to get a true work machine for hauling firewood and towing trailers around the mountains. I could care less about the color and how they are presented. I can drive 30 miles and look at them. I wouldn't mind the chance to test drive one and do a review on it during firewood season but that'll never happen.

I've talked to a few people who have owned Polaris ATV's and they love them, just a few complaints about the transmission setup in them other than that they don't complain. Seems that's all these forums are good for is people to get on and complain about their problems with their machines, you hardly ever see posts on any forum with positive information. It sucks because potential buyers look at these forums and say wow all these negative posts, do I really want to buy that.

After my retirement I spent much of my time hangin' out with a very good friend who managed our local Polaris shop. During my time there, I realized over a period of many months just how rugged Polaris products are built. Ranchers, Farmer's, county and state public departments constantly flowed in with all sorts of heavy use wear damaged, smashed, bent even totally trashed units of every description.

Yet... they would still start (as in Turnover LOL), go into gear (After some coxing) one in particular had over 90,000 miles on it and it looked pitiful! Used on a large cattle ranch the cowboy whom brought it in only wanted an oil change and new brake pads... oh boy!!!

Covered in mud and cow shit there was not one part on that ATV that was not bent cracked or broken. That machine had been dragged, slammed into trees, rolled down gullies, even the handle bars were cracked because he'd bent them back so many times so as to ride back to the barn. All because he tied some prized bull to it trying to wrangle the beast (?) with Mister Tonnage Beast deciding he'd rather go in another direction thereby dragging the lil' Polaris along behind him.... MOOOOOH! Says Big Dilly!!!

Sometime thereafter, I decided based on my witnessed mass destruction derby of replicates I'd buy a his and her Sportsmen for fun and frolic.

As for clutch problems, everything we saw involved riders burning up the clutch trying use full power in fourwheel drive while all tires are in a bind... Instead of shifting into low range. This was/is such a big deal to me I have never gone through even experienced a tranny/belt malfunction because I saw what happens routinely from so many people bringing their Rangers/ATV's griping and complaining as if its the manufactures liability.

And yes, I witnessed my share of unreasonable people (Unhappy Customers) loaded for bear ready to fist-fight...

Just somin' to think about.

I've been looking at sxs's for 2 yrs., sold my Grizzly 660 last month and will be purchasing a new sxs sometime in September. If I made a decision on all the negatives people say on these forums about any of sxs's I'd be better off buying a horse and buggy but don't want the clean up that's involved. lol The Commander 800 and the Ranger 800 XP are the two I've decided will fit my needs. Heat is an issue with all the machines and will continue as the displacement keeps getting larger. Normal wear out parts will alway's be an issue as long as these machine are pushed to there limits. The two problems I'm hearing now are seat pegs breaking and the heat from the Ranger motor and diffs breaking on the Commander due to use of the atv diff being used in the sxs and not holding up and heat. My final decision will be the test ride and of course who has the best deal but I'm leaning toward the Ranger. I'm not convinced the high tech key system and computer drive by wire throttle on the Commander isn't going to bite me in the butt as it ages esp. since it will have to sit out in the weather for a couple years until I can get my garage built. Anything man made is prone to failure at some point but how it is taken care of makes a big difference in my opinion on how long it lasts. My 2 cents.

Roscoe · 05-10-2012, 06:14 PM

The owners of any machine whom value reliability and function and spend the time and money to keep their equipment up and 100% will most likely have very good ridng experiences with whatever they choose. I myself enjoy choice, it's like a pair of shoes, it either fits, feels good, or it doesn't. Styles important too. The new Can-Am 1000 looks to me like a super exciting desert speed buggy! Nevertheless, I'll be sticking to what I own and continue enjoying my older rzr. I know my limitations and more high speed capability might just be too overwhelming to my diminishing reactive skills.

In todays world, I feel we not only have ever increasing off-road toy choices but the technology engineered into each one is rather amazing to me as well. As each year goes by, I am filled with wonder... OK? What have the manufacture's got up their sleeve now! Ah guys gotta be crazy if they don't see the value to competition. The more the merrier.

Oh and one more thing, Rangerforhunting? Whatever you decide, if your not that excited about doing a bunch of mods to you're new rig, purchase a five year bumper to bumper warranty. It has come in handy on mine. Unless of course you already are a gifted mechanic. Scratch-that idea...

ranger4hunting · 05-11-2012, 09:12 PM

I will have mods but have budgeted the extended warranty in also. I've been told by more than one person that $800 is the going rate for a 5yr. warranty but according my dealer that is low. I guess it will depend on how much they want my buisness. I do enjoy working on my equipment but not all at once esp. after paying the money they ask for these things.
