My dad just bought a RZR and we took it out to some dunes here in Las Vegas and that thing cut through sand like butter. When we hit gravel and rocks, the active suspension made it feel like nothing was there. Absolutely amazing piece of technology.
That Cadillac looks like it escaped straight from a Mad Max set :-)
And the 2 seater is even better offroad
Just did this Trail without much difficulties this past March with a stock Polaris ranger 900 crew. 10in ground clearance I believe. These side by sides are incredibly capable machines.
Did this in a stock Honda civic.....
Exactly, this is a trail that any stock 4 wheel drive vehicle can easily do. These guys just have no idea how to drive.
Loved the Dodge / Cadillac
That is seriously such an incredible machine. Great work guys!
Looks like an awesome trail. On the list now, thanks!
Awesome. This is why I don't see the need to own another Jeep. Comfy tow rig + comfy trail rig > Jeep. Loved the Caddy Seville, by the way!
Really cool part is that more and more these are being street legal. Usually it is up to the individual counties. Here in Iowa just in the last 5 years half of our 99 counties allow them. I take mine everywhere even to get the groceries lol.
You should take it to some sand dunes! If you think it shines on trails you'll be blown away by how it handles on sand!
instablaster...
We've all know this since 2014....
Great video!
I did the whole Daily driver/Wheeling rig routine for awhile and it got old breaking my rig while offroading and then having to fix it ASAP so that I have my transportation back to get to work. At the time I could not afford to build a dedicated offroad truck AND have a nice reliable daily driver. These days I have the luxury of towing my SxS to the trail in my nice plush Silverado and having an awesome day wheeling around. If I break the SxS I winch it on the trailer and go home to fix it at my leisure. I've found that the ONLY time up here in Alaska that I would prefer a fullsize Truck while offroading is while crossing a deep swift river, My SxS gets pushed around and can be swept down stream if not careful. Other than that my SxS goes lots more places, is faster and weighs a LOT less and is much easier to get unstuck.
What a fantastic place to be, lucky guys
Great Video! Bring a Fx4 Ranger out there.
7:55 that’s why you don’t put a cvt in an off road vehicle. It just slips under pressure
I purchased a new 2016 JKU Sport for $30,450, it had 3.21 gears, open diffs, steel rims with street tires, soft top and crank windows, I spent a small fortune on upgrades, 4.10 gears, Eaton Trutrac limited slip diffs, Fox shocks, Terraflex leveling springs, front and rear bumpers, winch etc. and it still was no comparison to a RZR, I would have bought this RZR Turbo S for the same price as the jeep in a heart beat, Jeeps are not in the same league as these RZR's.
I now have a cheaper 2018 RZR 1000-4 with a Shock Therapy spring upgrade that I am so impressed with. No comparison..
Lots of belts braking?
That's incredible.
Cheaper then a outfitted Jeep Rubicon it's a win. Tow this behind your Class A Motorhome and save money.
Trying to dip into the sxs market... don't waste your time guys sxsblog does it best 😁
And these guys aren't even good at off-roading, period
Polaris is exploring Electrics so that will be fun to see you testing - Down here in Los Cabos the creaming roar of the Polaris' are deafening
I would get the two seater. Waiting for the Honda.
There is no comparison of a turbo s and a jeep unless you are driving down the highway
The RZR probably doesn't wobble as much at speed.
The razer would also beat the Jeep with no problem in a drag race, and take bumps better😂
QTE yeah but razer is way to expensive
@@blkout_jk2597 you're just to broke
@@robertrichardson9953 lol you seem like an entitled child
It’s just crazy how expensive those things can be. You can buy a regular vehicle for the same price.
Looks great and fun but couldn’t they do something about that exhaust. Seriously how much does a muffler cost....?
Yeah i own one of those. Dope AF
How many channels do these guys have?
i prefer the narrower RZRs. some of the best trails are the ones the jeeps cant go on
Great video. Yes the turbo S is amazing! I want one. I chose a 2019 4 door Rubicon instead. I live in southern utah. I can use the jeep year round. The rzr is kinda uncomfortable when its 115 out. In an ideal world I would own my Jeep Rubicon, a diesel crew cab truck and a toy hauler for my turbo S. When I win the lottery thats the setup, until then Ive got some first world problems on my hands.
I can’t believe the price, but that is one awesome vehicle. On the good side, half the price of a Rubicon.
They need to dump the Slingshot and make an on/offroad RZR.
Needs directionals, horn, title.
1legit registration, would make for 1 perfect vehicle
Its doesn't just make things too easy... I always say if it feels too easy I'll take you some place seriously hard OR GO FASTER!!!
A fully off road side by side is no,comparion to any jeep or road vechice
Except you can experience 3 trails in a RZR for every trail you can do in a Jeep. Oh and the fun factor multiplies by 20.
Alex S that all is based on your opinion not saying your right or wrong but there’s not really a comparison
Cptn Rex well there is a comparison, because people are always weighing up which one to buy. Anyone who has done both prefers the Rzr because of the power, speed, comfort, and just the fact you can experience the trails a lot faster. The only downside is eating dust.
For people looking for an off road toy, the RZR is king. But for a daily that you can take on the trail when you want, there's basically no competitors to the Jeeps
I like both honestly. Jeeps are cool cuz u can drive to the trail and drive home in it. Side by sides are cool because for the price they’re basically a small trophy truck.
That trail is one of the easiest trails. A Stock jeep with open diffs can make that trail pretty easy
FWIW, what makes the RZR's and SxS's so much more comfortable on the trails? It's the IRS, independent front and REAR suspension. If Jeep did that it would be a Game Changer.
robert ruggles but you wouldn’t be able to rock crawl as well, there’s a reason the jeeps have had solid axles for so long.
Braden Gray glad someone know there stuff in this comment section
I just bought a 2021 4 seat turbo S Dynamix and I can’t wat to see what’s out to replace it with in 5 years
It’s already been replaced they’re just not showing it yet but it is a four-cylinder
And Tommy it doesn’t have a rear bumper!! 😂💥🤕🤣
Those tender springs are almost completely squished just under its own weight .... Probably doesn't ride as good as it could be with the proper springs
And how long have you all been doing this. I have both, a Can Am X3 and a Jeep TJ. Rookies
So what, we’ve owned and wheeled a YJ, TJ, Jk, JL, and Comanche. We also own and wheel a Land Cruiser, Land Rover and Samurai. Should we keep going. Let’s just keep it at we’ve wheeled every car and truck for sale in the US over the last 10 years.
Ok, then go on some real trails. Pritchett Canyon, BFE, stuff like that. Talk about the differences in tranny engagement. Ever been on a 60 degree incline, get stopped and then tried to get moving in a razor. What about blowing a belt while on a steep rocky climb. I think your video only tells one side of the story. Side by Sides have their place, sand , dirt roads, high speed running, but they are just not superior hard core rock crawlers.
You guys really don't know how to drive that thing. Drive it like you stole it!
Yes, I thought there goes the belt on that one "easy for sxs" climb.
Jeeeze my h3t alpha was 30k, it’s cool and all but not 30k cool, maybe I’m just poor but seems a bit much for a non street legal vehicle,
It depends on the state, some states sxs are street legal.
They are legal on the roads here in AZ, but you cannot take them on any highways.
I drive mine on road daily legally
@@stinggreyjlr9535 in Tennessee you can
Rip down a dirt road at 90 mph and you’ll smile ear to ear. Utah they are street legal on any rd 55mph or slower
it would nice thing to rent for day . do trails have rating like ski hills? level of truck, level of driver?
Yes.
www.discovermoab.com/4-wheeling/
Thanks . A little far for me ...
He skates a lot. LuL
Almost makes me regret my rubicon
Im just saying, everyone is stuck on the price for this model. This a top of the line SXS you can get.
The base model 2-seater 1000, which is just as capable as this machine is much much cheaper.
Just as capable crawling... not pounding whoops or carving sand bowls...
It’s still quite expensive, but economies of scale and low volume of sales makes it more expensive to produce. Engineering and tooling costs spread over fewer units...
Came here because I was shopping for a RZR. Left looking for a Cadillac.
This is not at all surprising.
I trust Polaris I’ve owned them before!
I love my rzr, but Polaris please get a rid of the PVT/CVT and the a real long life system....hint: how about gears and dual clutch?!
I'll stick with my x3:)
These things make awesome rentals, but to own seems like to much of investment
For those broke cheapskates
i drove this trail when i was 13 in my dads fj80 on 35s, it’s not that hard. 😂
You must be a dunce. There's a big difference. I'd rather go in a side by side
Robert Richardson well have fun when it starts to rain on u 🙂
The rzr s is sweet but buy the reg turbo rzr then put the difference in money into it and it will run circles around the s and the jeep!
I looked into doing this, it wasn't worth it. The cost to add Dynamix and the command center and get to 72" width with 32" rubber ate up most of the difference in cost before doing any upgrades. The S is a better platform to start with in most cases. Add the upgrades to the S :-)
What happens if you get a flat tire ?
You fix it or replace it
@@TFLoffroad And if you're miles/kilometers from nowhere ?
A plug and a 12v air compressor
@Mario Lopez Unfortunately, he can only provide a spiritual guidance. I have replaced four flat tires on my Jeep Patriot glad it has a full-size spare and it is inside.
I woulda said I felt bad until you fd up my Tesla
Sure, the SxS are capable machines, but I just don't see the practicality. First of all is the lack of storage. Second is always being exposed to the elements. And third is that I can drive my Jeep to work every day.
For those comparing the offroad performance against a Jeep, it's not really comparing apple's to apple's. I've been on many trails where a SxS would have no chance, but I've also seen them tear down a trail at speeds I would never even attempt in my Jeep.
But then again, maybe I'm just a grump. Mostly because 80% of the SxS owners that I've come across are disrespectful and don't follow trail etiquette. Can't tell you how annoying it is to have them tailgate me because I won't get out of their way immediately and then proceed to stomp on the gas once I do.
Timothy Eastland Same feeling here. Also, who can afford over $30,000 for a toy? I’m in the wrong business.
You are so dumb. No jeep can compete with a built sxs. There are cabin comfort kits and lift kits that will shame any jeep.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 The fact that you have to resort to calling somebody dumb that has been in the offroad scene for 15 years tells me that you're a typical douchebag SxS owner that has more money than common sense.
Go back to being an asshole on the trail that everybody hates.
You're telling me that a "built" SxS is more capable on the rocks? Damn keyboard warriors that don't know shit.
I see where your coming from but let’s be honest, jeeps make terrible road vehicles and can’t compare with the new side by sides off-road, and I would be surprised if there was a trail one wouldn’t go down, these guys also aren’t using them like true side by sides operators... and you can get a good 2 seat rzr brand new for around 20
@@Idkwhattoputhere48- I'm failing to see how everybody that owns a SxS thinks they can destroy a Jeep offroad? They both have their strengths and weaknesses.
I can see in the high speed department and ability to go faster on the trails. But, anytime I'm doing a technical obstacle, the SxS people stop to watch and don't even attempt it.
I am sure it is awesome, but I couldn’t deal with all the squeaks on a brand new 30k off road only machine. I would get a Honda Talon, then it outdoor be capable, quiet, refined, and reliable. Not as fast, but 10k cheaper....
Oh Tommy starting shitting on his sponsor, dad had to set him straight lol.
Love Polaris though. Polaris Sportman 850s are great for the money. Most of the capability for a fraction of the price.
I'd like to point out a couple of things... The Polaris has such skinny tires that one literally got stuck at about the 8 minute mark. Furthermore... A Jeep would let you complete the same trail, with air conditioning and windows, it is also a daily driver, and finally THAT POLARIS IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MOST USED JEEPS!!! How??
Winston Morris does a Jeep do 60+ mph in 2 foot whoops? Does a Jeep handle sand dunes?
I have no idea where to drive a big off road vehicle in Montana. Most of the trails I am on are limited to 50 inches good luck. Don’t get off the trail in Montana on national forest land it a $5,000 fine. Buy this or flush 30K dollars into the toilet your choice.
RZR's also come in 50 inch models around 12k.
Tommy said the RZR is too wide for Colorado. Is it wider than his Jeep?
Alex Mancero it’s narrower than a wrangler (64” vs 68”-74”), but I bet Tommy is referring to the RZR turbos being too wide for the ATV trails in CO.
The Turbo can run the same 4x4 forest service roads as the Jeep, but the ATV trails top out at 50” width allowance so only narrow UTVs like the RZR Trail 2-person can run those.
Is that $30K US Dollars?
justvettn most dealers sell em 36-38k after all the fees
Yes, us$, and then some more $$$ on top of that
It seems to be a more affordable option that getting a Jeep and decking it out yes or no?
It is I have a Arctic Cat wildcat 1000, it humbles my K5 on 40's with one ton axles.
Rich Farfugnuven nice how much did it cost to add the axles to your arctic cat?
@@amolinari9 axles are on the K5 Blazer, not the Arctic Cat
Rich Farfugnuven lmao that makes more sense
Can a rzr beat a jeep? Is that a real question?
For $30k I could build a jeep, truck or buggy that would kick the crap out of any RZR, prices on these are insane
RC2222222222 turbo s are about 36-38 k after everything
Mine 2018 RZR 1000xp EPS 2 seater was 16K OTD and is just a capable as this machine. You dont have to spend 30k to get a bad ass machine, this one is just the top of the line with all the options and NEW so of course it going to be over priced.
A RZR is amazing but it's almost like cheating; weight, ground clearance, wheel travel, wheel base, wheels sticking out far from body, center of gravity, CVT,
This is a bad comparison there totally different tools like a fully built rubicon would out crawl the rzr all day but comfort will not be as close due to solid axles. Plus the rzr has lockers Tommy’s wrangler doesn’t
That is a stock RZR, put equal amounts of $$ into both of them and the RZR would destroy the Jeep Rubicon.
The Wrangler Rubicon is the most capable off-roader available for rock-crawling adventures, plus more refined on road and daily driving.
RZR Turbo is best on the sand at a higher speeds.
":-)
@@tonydmty1234567 You've obviously never seen rock crawler side by sides with 35+" tires.. Very ignorant comment.
Justin H there different tools but in rock crawling solid axle will beat IFS any day
People say polaris has quality issues is this straight?
I have a 2011 rzr and it's one thing after another, ball joints, tie rod ends,wheel bearings,brake pads,u joints and the list goes on. You need to be able to do your own work on these things so a shop manual is a must.
juan fo My family had owns a Polaris sportsman 570, sportsman 850, and a Hawkeye and we rarely have problems. The biggest being one broken axle and a battery replacement in the Hawkeye.
Moral of the story:
If you were planning on getting a Jeep Wrangler to off-toad and crawl with, JUST DON’T! Buy the Polaris RZR XP Turbo S 4-seater! It will be cheaper to own, crawl better, off-road better, and can also sand dune, and can be made to be street legal too.
Polaris rzr = jeep killer
Really? Power to weight ratio is way better. Weight. Bad comparision
Off road king? That would be the Can Am Maverick X3. First 17 places at Dakar earlier this year. First 6 places this past weekend and Best In The Desert Reno to Nevada. The rzr WAS the king of off road. Those days are long gone.
SxS, for people who lack skills in going off road.
The Wrangler Rubicon is the most capable off-roader available for rock-crawling adventures, plus more refined on road and daily driving.
RZR Turbo is best on the sand at a higher speeds.
";-)
30k for a sxs that’s built by the most unreliable recreational vehicle manufacturer? WOW! Polaris has had people hooked on their koolaid since the Trailboss 250
Christopher Redden hey Polaris for the turbo s made a lot of the weak points stronger. My dad has one it's pretty cool, and that's coming from a can am fan.😉
Although I'd rather buy my "dream-fleet" of motorcycles with the $30k, that thing is pretty bad-a$$
crj moto your dream “fleet” is under 30k?
@@Captndarty I should note - I already have half the fleet, just a few more needed : )
mmmm, no, sorry the Jeep Rubicon is the King and will be for probably ever, out of the box it's still the best.
Por que haces un video hablando sobre un rzr y ni siquiera lo sabes usar?
Que? Build the wall
Well the jeep is 5k and the rzr is upwards of 20k. Rzr will wear out by 5 thousand miles the jeep will last at least 150000. The jeep is street legal and the rzr is not. So ill tKe the jeep.
Can Am would look better
Definitely would!
4:10 only two vehicles you can think of with active suspension?
God what a joke... I guess you’ve never heard of magnetorheological dampers commonly referred to as magne-ride suspension. Pretty much available for 20 years from GM, Ford, Ferrari, they utilize suspended particulates that are sensitive to magnetic fields and a computer controlled magnet to alter fluid thickness.
Volvo used semi active dampers, ktm subsidiary WP has semi active dampers.
This fox live valve is closer to semi active than fully, which magnetorheological technology is nearly infinitely adjustable and fully active.
Even the Civic (CTR/CSi) have electronically adjustable suspension.
It’s not like you don’t review hundreds of cars and trucks.
The RZR is better than the Jeep but the Yamaha YXZ is better in the sand dunes.
The Wrangler Rubicon is the most capable off-roader available for rock-crawling adventures, plus more refined on road and daily driving.
RZR Turbo is best on the sand at a higher speeds.
";-)
DUNEYXZ and the x3 is worlds better than the Yamaha on the dunes.....
canam 😏
It's not street legal and that makes it impractical and illegal most places. I really wish they were street legal. If the Polaris Slingshot is street legal this should be as well.
Just a matter of time before they start putting 3 cylinder engines in SxS.
Arctic Cat and Yamaha already are..
