The specs are one thing for the Yamaha, but the fit/finish/reliability/resale Yamaha is at the top. All these are crazy expensive, so my money is going with the Yamaha . The Can-Am has no armrest and the seats are nearly touching, so rider and passenger will be hitting shoulders. The RMax has a center dash and console/armrest closer to a civic.
Yo bro don’t give up your content and format is awesome, cheers
I'm looking at the commander xtp for my next machine. It just looks awesome and has all the qualities I want. Love the black and orange too.
Just found your channel! Have Polaris sport on order! Big thumbs up
When is the next video coming out? Excited to see one.
I’m voting for the General! I hope to buy one soon myself.
Yammy it’s back with the Rmax to dominate !
I have the 2021 Can Am and it is awesome some of the best seats I have ever seen, but I really like the Yamaha RMax, it is a really nice machine and has everything you would ever need
we have a 2015 can-am outlander max xt 1000 2up in camo, we live in florida, it is still stock, we ride 2 to 4 times per year, not a lot i know, but life gets in the way and where we ride is over 100 miles 1 way, up in ocala national forest, 86 stock horse power, we love it,, regular maintenance, no issues
Nice! It's good to hear from actual owners it's much appreciated. Thanks for watching!
RMax, then a draw between the General and the Commander. I’m just not a fan of Can Am’s 4wd system. I like the cvt best on the Yamaha. I’d put the Commander as number 2 if not for the visco lock. All things considered, I think they are all pretty good machines. Just comes down to what you want to do with them. BTW, the bed extenders on the Commander are a really cool feature.
I may need to rethink my visco lock comment above. I just found this video of the XTP on the Rubicon trail. Looks like it did pretty well. czcams.com/video/YFobkwTImCw/video.html
@@williemaykit7940 The XTP doesn't have the Visco lock. It has the Smart-Lok system, which makes ALL the difference. I wouldn't buy one with the Visco lock either.
@@majerstud you’re right. The smart lock would be the only way to go for sure! I’ve watched some other videos since. The smart lock is pretty cool.
I chose the XT-P over XT for the smart locking front differential and fox shocks
@@donhyatt8034 absolutely man! The smart lock is the way to go. That XTP is a great looking machine. I don’t think you can really go wrong with any of these rides.
Same order. Curious to see how you would like the new can-am. Never realized it had better towing than general
Yeah Can Am did a good job on the redesign. I really like the towing capacity and the large cargo box. Thanks for watching!
Please do the XP1000, your build video before was awesome
Thank you!
Picked up my new Trail Boss last Friday! Fuckin awesome! I love it!
Nice! Big fan of the Ranger!
I reserved the XT-P Saturday. Should be in within the next month. Can’t wait! Currently have 2015 XT commander. You cannot go wrong with Commanders. Appalachian trail riding. Mini tanks!
Yeah I am leaning that way. I wish the XT came with the smart loc. I like that price a lot better but will probably go XTP. Thanks for watching!
@@UTVDIRT go xt and put a halo locker in the front
Here in Nevada the XT-P is on a waiting list and I was quoted "around $30,000 OTD". I found a used 2022 XT-P w/accessories and 1400 miles on it, 4 hours away for $21,000 w/no sales tax
Not sure why the R-max was second more hp more travel and a 10 year belt warranty that I don’t remember you mentioning ?
Just my opinion. They are real close and I did say in the video that the RMAX won in the specs category and I didn't mention the 10 year warranty but it's in video. Thanks for watching!
Good video on the specs of the machine. But there is a lot more you should consider. Comfort, convenience, noise, heat, sitting position, build quality, throttle response, clutch feel, driver input for steering and braking. Then there is value for your money. I know this video wasn’t meant for all that, hopefully we can get a comparison video that will cover all those bases. One of the biggest things that I’m noticing with the Can Am is that it is built off the Maverick chassis. The seating position may be the same and that would make it wayyyy more sporty feeling than the other 2. That would be a game changer for some, because you would have a sport bike with a bed! In comparison the RZR S seating position is way lower than the General. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree with you. Thanks for watching!
Missing the videos with all the new upgrades and install videos. Hope you decide sooner than later lol hope all is well👍🏻
My picks are in the same order as you. I really like the new Commander and what it has to offer but I'm intrigued by the RMax.
I agree the Yamaha is a real nice unit. They did a good job on it and I am glad other manufacturers are stepping up. It gives us guys more choices! Thanks for watching!
Love my rmax
@@rideyamaha4lifeyz133 Yeah it looks like a nice unit! Cant wait to see one in person. Thanks for watching!
I landed on the General. Quiet, roomy, looks the best in my opinion and doesn’t suck in cab dust like the others. Got lots of input from buddies that ride a lot. One of which sold his General and got the new RMAX because he thought it was the latest and greatest. He says it’s louder, dustier and his wife hates to go with him now. Only way to know for sure is to do a day rental for each and find out for yourself. We all have 4 seaters however.
Thanks for the feedback! I am still deciding but I have it down to either the Commander or the General. Not sure but will see. I do like your idea of renting each one. Thanks for watching!
my ranger broke the strut holding the bed tilt just like yours did, you would think they would beef it up mine is 2020 and my rack and pinion locks up intermittently some teeth broke off waiting on new rack, only 400 miles on it and i baby it no jumps etc so same as you can am then yammy then pol good luck !
Yeah you would think they would have addressed the strut by now. That sucks to hear about rack and pinion. Thanks for your feedback!
I liked the commander so much I reserved one.
Nice! Which trim level did you order?
I'm buying the Commander XT-P, my wife liked the RMax finish better. The turf mode with a bigger dumping bed was my preference for working. Also you are down in the machine vs Rmax you sit higher up. My 2004 seadoo gtx is still running strong so reliable and economical to run over the years.
Yeah the Commander is a real nice machine. Good choice! Thanks for watching!
I recently bought an RMAX2 LE that replaced my 2014 Commander Max. The fact that I couldn't get a Commander XTP for three months (or even find one to sit in) had a lot to do with it. I like the RMAX, except for one thing, and it's a big one for me. I am a disabled Vet with some knee issues, and the RMAX has zero room beside the brake pedal for me to slide my foot deeper into the footwell and stretch my leg from time to time. It becomes so painful for me that I eventually just have to pull over and stretch my legs. I also have a KRX-1000 and that has sufficient room for me to stretch my leg out all the way, and it makes ALL the difference. I wish the RMAX cargo box was bigger, but on the other hand I do appreciate its relatively short length compared to the Commander, so that's a trade-off I was willing to make.
Thanks for the feedback!
I would have my picks in the same order as you also 👍
Yeah I think my rankings are spot on. Glad you agree. Thanks for watching!
My choice would be the same as yours
Not a sport utv question But what do you think. I am having a hard time deciding between the Can am hd10 limited and the Ranger Northstar premium do you have a favorite between these two options.
I am a big fan of the Polaris ranger Northstar. Very nice unit.
I was surprised when I was looking for a new Utility vehicle. I thought I’d buy a Honda 1000 without question, but when I sat in it I found it to have a very poor driver seating area with not enough leg room and NO storage.
I then looked at the Yamaha Wolverine and it had even less room. I liked the Can Am Defender XT but it didn’t have a great leg room either.
I really liked the storage in the Can Am. My wife said she would need running boards because it was too high to easily climb in.
Lastly I looked at the Polaris Ranger 1000XT and found it to be the roomiest and most comfortable and bought it on the spot. I’m 73 years old so what suits my needs may be totally different than other buyers.
Thank you for the feedback! I am sure your info will help others in making their decision. Thanks for watching!
Rmax it’s king 👑
Agree with Polaris at #3. Most expensive and least reliable. Toss up on the other two. I'm a Can Am fan but that Rmax is pretty awesome. Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback!
Least reliable? I’m curious to know how you came to that conclusion. I feel the rmax and commander are too new to be judging there reliability.
@@gregg7761 that has been my personal 1st and 2nd hand experience over 30 years of ownership and riding. Note I've had similar experience and results with snowmobiles. It's my opinion that Polaris quality and reliability is not on par with much of its competition.
I am looking at the Rmax2 LE but I was interested to hear your comparison and support statements towards these 3 machines.
What feature has you lean more towards the Commander vs the Rmax as your number 1 pick? I am still in research mode and have not physically driven any of these 3 myself just yet and looking for any insight as it’s a lot of money and limited supplies of delivered machines in my area of Oklahoma City. To go get hands on with the units. Also if I start actually driving units I might impulse before I did my product research.
I like the new 2022 XMR Commander the best because it comes already equipped with snorkels and high mounted winch and for the price you cant beat it. That would be my pick. Thanks for watching!
@@UTVDIRT when ya coming back and making videos?
@@brandomartsx Hopefully soon! Working on some things now. Thanks!
The RMax2 loses the dump bed and storage for the 2nd row seating FYI.
Really liking my new commander
Nice! Which trim model did you get?
@@UTVDIRT The XT
Okay I was looking at that trim level to. I like the all black color scheme and the price is not bad.
@@UTVDIRT I went with the camo, those gloss panels will scratch if you look at them too hard.
Yeah I did hear they scratch easy. Camo is sweet. That back bed looks huge to.
The thing about can am...the XT comes in camo which is a huge plus for me but no diff lock unless you get the XTP.
RMAX no camo but locking diff. The xtr version isn't worth the extra money..as it's just a winch. Back lit buttons and a tablet that is waaaaay over priced. So I'd go base RMAX and get the D mode switch and a winch.
Polaris.. like em but to unreliable.
I am In the same boat as you but only between the commander and the RMAX.
I want camo cuz it doesnt scratch but I also want a lockable diff. Can am offers it for an extra 2k but then you're way above price.
Personally I'm leaning RMAX base, comes with a roof and a lockable diff so for an extra let's say 800 for a winch an D mode switch you basically have the same features as an XTP commander for a 3 to 4k savings. In theory. Just my thought.
Thank you for your feedback! You made some great points on each unit. I wish the XT came with the locking front diff. That would make my decision a lot easier lol. I do like your point on the rmax base and potentially saving 3-4 k. I didn't even think of that scenario. I will definitely have to look into it. Thanks for watching!
I’m a Polaris guy but I’d pick Yamaha as #1
Yeah the Yamaha is a nice unit and the specs are almost all class leading. Thanks for watching!
Polaris ranger 1000: and then build it up so it’s better than the XP or high lifter, just start with the basic model
Can am good choice
It’s between the rmax and general for me. The commanders cab is too narrow. I’m not a fan of rubbing shoulders with the person next to me.
After being told it would be a four week wait on a General, I put down a deposit. Waited three months, and nothing. With an additional few weeks of "It will be here next week." I decided to get my deposit back. Got the runaround and had to make legal threats to get it back.
Walked in to the Can Am dealer down the street and walked out with a Commander XT. I've had it for a month now and couldn't be happier. I would still be waiting for that General. I've been a diehard Polaris fan most of my life. Lately after some piss poor service form the Polaris dealer, and Polaris themselves on other Polaris products. I'm done with Polaris.
Looks like more BRP products are in my future.
Yeah I have heard similar stories of people waiting. Glad you like your XT and thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching!
Don't overlook Spartan - the Intimidator model -two people in my circle of friends have picked them, and they are outstanding value for the dollar. And other than the Engine they are truly made here in US.
@@danielstewart7732 Thanks! I will check them out.
wheres the new machine
Polaris bias showing. You mentioned the Rmax offers four wheel engine braking, but didn't mention that the General does not. That's a critical issue for anybody who rides steep.
How come no new content?
Been a while you gonna make anymore vids ?
Yes hopefully soon! Working on something now.
Polaris ranger xp 1000 North Star!!!!!
Don't even think about Polaris...... they are NOT reliable units ..... go with Yamaha #1 for sure you not get disappointment
Thanks for the feedback! Yamaha has really stepped up their game on this unit.
Well did ya get a new toy yet
Polaris ranger highlifter o yup #1
I am a big fan of the Ranger. That's how this channel got started and I wouldn't mind having a Highlifter Ranger. If I lived more down south that would probably be the unit for me. Thanks for watching!
@@UTVDIRT we bought on a 2021 1000 we are still waiting on it to b built they are back ordered hopefully will have it by mid June or July so if you go tht route b prepared for a little wait but well worth it i have been following your channel for awhile everything you did to tht ranger the high lifter has right off the esembley line plus with thm being a little behind they r willing to work with the price i think we got ares for like 17000 thanks for taking a little time to listen to my bs have a good day man b sure to keep ur boy involved they also have a highlighter rzr additon Thts pretty cool
Nice! That's a good deal! My son is still involved he wants a Rzr Trail 1000 s. That might be a future addition to the UTV DIRT garage lol. Thanks for watching!
The suspense is killing me wht did u choose lol
I haven't made up my mind yet lol. I do have it down to two choices though.
Lol same ⏰
What happened to y’all
I don’t think you’re giving Polaris a fair shake. You get way more with the Polaris than can am or Yamaha. For one you get a stereo also more cab room and better ride in my opinion. I’m pretty sure it’s quieter than the other machines also. You also don’t get that stupid shoulder bolster that Yamaha has and it’s easier to change a belt on the trail if you had to. I’ve owned can am not Yamaha though. I would gladly take a Polaris over the other two.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! I dont think you could go wrong with any of the three units I talked about. I guess it depends on what your going to use them for. I like to have a bigger cargo box because I hunt and more towing capacity to tow and the Polaris is lacking in those areas. I had a Ranger and loved it so I am trying to get the best of both worlds with doing work and being able to go on the trails and have fun. Thanks for watching!
With Polaris and CanAm you absolutely will have to eventually change a belt. With Yamaha you absolutely won’t. If you like rock crawling the others don’t have the travel numbers t to compete with the Rmax. It does things full sport machines do. The drive modes and engine braking of the Rmax make it the most controllable enjoyable side by side built to drive and you feel like your in an actual truck instead of a cheap side by side.
Polaris and CanAm are kicking Yamahas but on accessories however. They all have pros and cons for sure.
#1 Rmax
#2 Commander
#3 General
@@westernslopermax216 Thanks for your feedback! You definitely cant go wrong with the RMAX it just depends on what type of riding you do. Thanks for watching!
@@westernslopermax216 I have to strongly disagree.
@@nickmerrill9796 That’s cool, different stokes for different folks.
Out of them 3 I would choose the can am commander, can am is the best... 👍 Polaris's are junk... I love the can am maverick sport xmr 👍😎
I like the Commander a lot and they really made some improvements from the previous model. Hopefully I can test drive one soon. Thanks for watching!
Rmax is far better built more rugged an capable for those of us who are life long drivers/riders. Can am does a good job of hyping up from factory but between Polaris and can am I've honestly seen way to many machines being towed home they're decent machines don't get me wrong but spending that kinda cash they're not reliable enough from what I've seen. Imagine being way out in the mountains alone and the machine goes into limp mode, or you cook the belt outta no where that's bullshit bcuz you're literally stuck there. Anything mechanical will have issues/need work but building alittle heavier with better materials not plastic well there's no amount of denial or shit talk making up for it
Thanks for your input. You made some great points! Thanks for watching!
Yamaha RMAX-1000
2 seats 💺 it’s very nice 👍 look great and I liked :)
4 seats 💺 it’s kinda cheating worthless or little useless :( kind off :|
Who design with 4 seats 💺 must be a lonely no kids only dog 🐩 or a cat 🐈 :( LOL or don’t go with the kids:)
let’s just say you get for passenger where are you going to put a water 💦 cooler or food 🥘?
I guess they were thinking something else not supposed to think when they design :( this Side-By-Side LOL
