I've seen several posts and comments from individuals over the last few weeks who have stated that Polaris is already building 2022 year model Rangers. I'm wondering if anyone has actually taken delivery of a 2022 model or know first hand of one that has been delivered to a dealer for resale? I still have a 2021 on order with an estimated ship time of August 23 - October 5, which Polaris has assured me will remain a 2021 model. I'm doubtful that Polaris has actually started producing 2022 models when they still haven't completed 2021 orders, but I've seen several people say for certain that Polaris is currently building 2022 models.

I ordered a 2022 Polaris NorthStar crew Premium the beginning of July the first day they started taking orders. Said around 8 weeks. been moved twice and received notice today from dealer that said.... The estimated ship dates for your Polaris machine has been changed to TBD. I was told that NorthStar machines will not be released any earlier than Mid November
I talked to Polaris this week. They still don't have a ship date on mine. He did tell me that if I ordered a 21, that's what I would get. He also told me the 21 models would be built and shipped before any 22 model Rangers.

Have seen a few 22 570 Rangers at dealers, but the polaris rep told me last week that I would be getting a 21 model highlifter crew and that no 22s would be delivered until the 21s were delivered.

Been seeing some 2022, 570s, RZRs and 1000 xp single seaters leaving my local dealer. Kinda frustrating seeing 22s go out the door and i cant even get a ship date on my 2021.
Ordered a 2022 northstar crew ultimate white July 9, got a date few weeks ago from polaris december 23-february 9. Polaris told me the northstar's would be the last of 2022 models built because they are more complicated builds.
I ordered mine October 2nd. Was given a delivery date of Dec 23- Feb 9. Got a call today that it came in and is ready for pickup. 2022 Ranger Crew 1000 Premium.
Some 2022's will be delivered before all the 21's are completed. The 2022 Rangers being delivered are basic models. All enclosed cabs are sent to a third party authorized facility that finishes the cabs. That is where the bottleneck occurs. Chips, accessories, and parts that are stuck in the supply chain are installed at these facilities. Ride command shortages are caught up and 21's are moving out with some being delayed because of shipping issues but the new and improved A/C compressors are in shortage right now for the Northstar 22's.
I ordered a 2022 Northstar on August 25. Today I got a shipment date of march 10 - April 22 of 2022. Lets see they originally said November which of course I chuckled at but perhaps I will at least have it by when the 2023s should be coming out. 
OH by the way the dealer said they have had several 2022 Northstars delivered to them so perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel
I’ve just spent the weekend our newly purchased land with my also newly 2022 Ranger EV.
Polaris apparently put little thought into the development of what could have been the best multipurpose hunting machines that I have ever used but for now let’s talk about the Ranger EV.
I was worried about how the deer would react to the whine of electrons as compared to a combustion engine and was able to hear their reaction Friday night as we eased downhill through the woods. We were pleasantly surprised by the shears number of deer that we passed in 400 yards all of them blowing at us. I’m looking forward to wrapping my headlights in red and watching their reactions.
Because I have new toy, I drove slowly around the heavily wooded property jumping lots of deer due to almost silent slow running. It gets to 25 as quick as a rabbit, fast enough for anything on my land and went up 25-35 degree dry road inclines with no effort at all. It’s powered by 8 12 volt lead acid batteries in parallel to keep the 48 volts. If I remember my electricity correctly, this provides more raw power as compared to a 72 volt EV. There are 3 drive modes to help extend battery life with switch selectable 1 rear, 2 rear differential or 4 wheel drive the electric shift that keeps you hands free to help steer.
This Ranger needs power steering and someone really screwed the pooch with the decision to title an existing Ranger as an EV.
I believe that Polaris missed a big opportunity and the future will tell. Instead of building a EV, they adapted an existing one that admittedly, is very well done but could have set the standard for EV side by sides and the lack of power steering is a blatant example. The cup holders suck too.
My first opinion after our weekend with the Ranger is that it is more capable handling any task normally accomplished with a gas engine. I like the fact that the batteries are recyclable as compared to slave labor built ones. Do purchase the battery watering kit.
Polaris is going to sell a lot of these and despite the shortcomings I am really happy with mine.

And 22 ultimate white. This is what I ordered so I was excited to finally see one in a real photograph.

I'm at day 103. I can't believe Polaris hasn't even made 1 high lifter yet. I check YouTube everyday hoping to see what I ordered over 3 months ago. The pictures on the Polaris website are identical to the '21 high lifter so it's obvious the color scheme was photoshopped just for their website.
I’ve been waiting since August for a Northstar Trail Boss! Was told by dealer late Nov to early Dec but Polaris email says Feb to March! Hoping dealer knows something Polaris doesn’t but not holding my breath!
Nice walkthrough of one(not mine) on YouTube showing differences between 21 and 22!
