It's a tellum ( mullet spelled backwards) party up front and business in back. I have a 2 seat DPS model and absolutely love it.
Nice video! That looks like a fun machine to drive, and I like the bed with the extender options for some utility.
Nice to have a Truck Reviewer channel know how to review a SxS. Good job. Appreciate it.
For some added bonus storage, there is a spot for a spare belt and the tool on the inside of one bedside, and a spot for jumper cables on the other.
Watching this made me feel like I had mosquitoes flying round me
I love it, can't wait to see more content about them in the wild. This is exactly the direction this market segment needs to go.
I hit the thumbs-up as you did such a good job on this video.
A good buddy of mine just bought one so I looked up to see what the commander is about.
Thanks.
I just purchased the 21 Commander Max XT(4 seater). In this video he says the XT comes with the roof- just want to say the 4 seater does not... that sucks! I haven't had a chance to take mine on an off road ride yet but it sure looks great and rides super smooth up and down the street...lol. i love the blue color :)
Thank you for a very informative and entertaining video. When I saw oyur speedometer hit 113 in 11 seconds, I thought, "That thing is a rocket" compared to my 2019. Then I realized that it was KPH not MPH. LOL!
Excellent Review. I just picked mine up last week. Spent 6mo waiting for it, and there are only a few videos online about it. I'm going to be testing it this weekend to see what it will do. Very excited about that. I got the X-MR.
Would like to see a head-to-head between the Commander XT, General XP, and RMAX.

Been wanting something that can do work around the farm and still be fun to drive around fast
I don’t own one of these but probably would if I hadn’t purchased my new KRX a year ago and dumped a ton of money in it. I pay attention a lot to the SXS segment and can tell u that the new Commander is in a class of its own. The only 2 close competition it has is the General and R-Max, but those machines are still totally different in one big way. Those 2 machines seat height and position are no where close to as low and sporty as the new Commander. This new Commander is a sport utv with a bed! Think of it like this, if you have ever took the chance to sit in a Polaris Ranger, then a General, then a RZR, you would be like wow what a difference in the feel of these machines! The Ranger feels like your driving a bus with the bench seat, steering wheel position, and straight up tall seating position. The General is much better, comfortable, with buckets, and feels like it wants to be sporty. Then u sit in a RZR and it’s that low, sports car feeling buggy. Well this machine is that low sports car feeling buggy with a dump bed! It is in a class of its own! I want one bad!
Looks like a super fun machine!
They Are definitely Nice machines I'm ether going for The Rmax2 or camander not sure yet. But leaning toward R max. Because of the reliability and Quality. Altho never owned a yamaha product except my Yamaha vmax 200 Hpdi.so I have some thinking to do great video it definitely helped in my decision.
Id like to see a video comparing noise levels of this commander , Rmax, and the General. I’m doubtful theres much difference when operating . Be great to see at idle., mid rpm and full throttle !
If it was up to you, would you buy the Commnader XT or the new Commander XMR, that has front and rear locking diff. Plus Smart lok
Do you prefer this or the Rmax. Excellent video.
Please test the Yamaha equivalent model. Its clutch driven, instead of belt. Also has a 1008cc power plant
I have a 2013 Can-Am 800 and it does everything i want it t do! Of course i do not beat the hell out of my machine i treat it nice! it has 5000 miles on it really not much for 2013! love my Can-Am!
Did they make it easier to change the oil and grease the fittings it’s always been a problem with Can-Am products?
You flushed out the issue on Quadra Drive. can-am must be last one using Visco-Lok.
Curious if the display screen had any additional issues while you were testing
With the overall length being 130’’ is that from the front bumper to the back of the tailgate?
I move around all of the brands at the shop and Can-Am's generally feel like higher quality then some others. As I've learned from their 4 wheelers, all that goes out the window when complex electronic issued pop up, and the cost of parts and the amount of time to obtain them can be another issue. When you drop it into gear it's close to automotive quality, very few squeaks and rattles and a confidant feeling overall. We don't sell Can-Ams but for a guy that moves machines 6 days a week, I enjoy them and tolerate most of the others.
Yeah that's why this model comes with a belt storage- makes me feel good about the durabilty... NOT
@@jameshigbee7003 it's like a spare time and air bags. Just in case!!
That's spare tire
Hello. As a viewer of your videos. I value your opinion. Of all the 2021 UTV's you've tested, witch one would you love to keep. I'm built like you and had toys up to five years ago, now I'm in the market. Jeff Vail Az
You forgot the storage compartments on either side of the bed the plastics pop off so you can strap in some gear
thinking about buying but i wish they had a 5 seater/ bench seat in the back
Still waiting for someone to get a Commander 700 to do a real world test on. It's almost $6000 CDN cheaper so that's a game changer if it's at all comparable. Can the 700 tow as well? How much does it lose on the top end? Is the extra 300 CC really that big of a difference to justify the huge price jump? I'm holding off on putting down a deposit until I know more.
Of course it’s worth it. You’re talking The difference between 52 hp and 100 hp. Doesn’t matter if all the towing specs are the same the 700 ain’t gonna do it nearly as good as the 1000 and it will certainly suffer on the top end
I know I'm a little late to the party on this lol. Did you end up ordering one? I bought a 700 commander in March and it's been really fun. I haven't towed much with it, but lets be honest, if you're towing, you're not going for top speed and will be in low gear towing 2000lbs to keep from frying your belt. I can't justify the extra cost of the 1000, but that's just me! Of course a 1000 would probably smoke my 700. Lol
A really good deal came up on a used 2012 commander 1000 not long after I posted this. The top speed is just below 110 km/h but the towing has been really good. I have pulled some really big loads of firewood home up some pretty steep hills and it's really surprised me. Now there are some reviews of the 700 and even in the defender it can reach 105 km/h. When my old Ranger dies I'll probably get a 700 defender and just use the 1000 commander for joy rides with the girlfriend.
I bought the 2022 commander xtp and I must admit can am put lots of thought into this machine . It has lots of nice features .
Hi
How is the ride comfort and noise level??? Thanks
@@duanesnow424 it’s quieter then the older commander and way less heat , the ride is a little stiff at slow speeds but handles nice on the hard pack. I raised the seats 1.5 inches because I am tall
@@deanom1583 thanks! Have u tried the Rmax?
@@duanesnow424 yes lots of engine noise and heat plus no turf mode
Any comments on the half windshield. Some say it sucks. ?
Do these come with the performance or the normal dess key
My maverick sport 4 seat did 79 mph stock
Any chance of getting a maverick sport and doing a side by side comparison?
If we get it we'll do it.
Which machine has more snap and better take off power, the new Yamaha RMax or this Can-Am? Why would a guy buy this Can-Am over the rmax?
Thanks
WHAT DID YOUR RPM'S TOP OUT AT JUST CURIOUS?
Do you get muddy when riding it? Or does it keep you protected pretty well
mud stays outside
I want one!
how is that cup holder on aluminum cans ? asking for a friend
Holds em good
Zoinks! I forgot for a second he was in kilometers per hour there.
Teryx-S4 next please.
The problem is that the cargo bed is too high off the ground. Try lifting something heavy to put it into that bed.
Would the weight at the back bend your tail gate with the bed extended?
Holds 250 lbs
0-60mph was around 7s, pretty quick
What are your thoughts comparing the Commander to the RMax 1000?
Yes, this
The interior quality is not even close to the RMax. And the Rmax has a full center console and armrest. The seats in this thing are almost touching each other. The driver and passenger will be banging shoulders. Performance is likely similar.
No contest Been in both
@@steevesevan what ones better?
@@Rio5kay r max is more enjoyable by far
What happened to TFL?
Do you think that would work for a dude 6’4” 300 lbs ??
1000r Engine torque must be low because this seems to be the only Engine that doesn't show torque specs 🤔
Haha typical can am. By buddies screen would freeze all the time. Brand new outlander
Is this the Hydro Cut outside Kitchener?
no
@@TruckKing Looked like the Hydro Cut. Go Jays!
You broke it! lol
This video is more proof that CanAm screwed up the clutch weighting on the Commanders. They should be turning 7000+ rpm with the pedal down, not dogging it.
Your like luke combs long lost brother
Looks way better than the first generation which sucked!
What is the payload and towing rating?
3:05
Yo tengo uno igual es mi bb saludos
mine is a brand new 2022 and its squeaking like crazy
no grease fitting at all on that thing
just the sway bar
Im a bigger guy how is the interior room compaired to the x3
Similar
Im 6'4" 275lbs and i fit comfortably.
It’s almost the same size as my Jeep TJ.
Time to step up your helmet game
Looks great..have everything you need to have fun…but was not impressed with your sport mode take off..didn’t even spin the tires..
You get more with the base model RMAX... DIF LOCK being the number 1 thing. Nothing like a demo with screen problems... Can Am reliability right there!! Plus the never ending vicso crap
Yeah compare those prices then get back to use. Torq locker has the solution for the Visco, in my opinion that would be a day one upgrade mod. Also NO turf mode in the rear on the Rmax.
@@1978JWJ I have compared prices. Personally I really like the commander but what machine doesn't come with a full dif lock these days? You shouldn't have to tear your diff apart to put in a torq locker on a brand new unit! What do you have to take apart on the RMAX at day one?? NOTHING!!! Apples to apples the base Yamaha is better simply because of that. Thats like buying an x3 and then spending more to beef up the frame because can am can't seem to figure it out... hell...their commander DPS model doesn't even get a speedo..WTF? The only difference is the XT gets a winch...which is some Chinese shit branded by can am...soooooo you so the math
@@Supertramp01The Canadian models must be different, as I think the USA model has "SMART-LOCK". I have a 2019 CanAm Maverick Sport XRC, and it has the "SMART-LOCK"' which is very superior to the RMAX in my opinion.
@@1gr8oil You can get the smart lock but only on the XTP model...visco lock for DPS and XT where as you get a full locking diff on all 3 RMAX models. Diff lock should be a standard on and sxs or 4 wheeler at this point in the game... Not just the top of the line models.
@@1gr8oil They do not all come with smart lock or the different drive modes. Point is the Base Rmax has more features on it and it has better numbers all across the board than this new commander. Can am had a chance to knock it out of the park and instead they hit a foul ball- baseing it off a Maverick frame that looks like a Pug dog that ran head on into a tree- it is butt ugly and has very little room inside. It also reminds of cheap buggies that you can rent to ride the dunes at with a generic inside. They just failed big time. Now I love my Rmax and was searching for a new Can am or a General but when I saw the design and how beavy the Rmax is compared to the others and what the base model offers compared to base model of the others it was a easy choice. I am betting that Polaris will come out with a new General that will be totally different and try and pass this Can am and the new Rmax. Only complaint I have with my Rmax is noise. Other than that the 108HP will stay if not outrun any other nonturbo 1000cc. The drive modes are amazing to have.
Afternoon Truck King.!!!...what's it like to film a video??
I have the 2018 Can Am Commander and bought new. The Visco-Lok is garbage, I will possibly buy a general instead of the can-am. They need to get rid of it and replace it with Smart-Lok.
Hah the 23 commander xt goin for 29k CAD 😤 31k for the 24
Tires are actually made by Wanda
I have the 22 and it seems like low is too low. 4000 RPMs at 8 miles an hour. And high is too low 4000 RPMs at 20 mile an hour. You shouldn't have to beat up on a 100 HP machine to get power and speed out of it.
Why would anyone purchase this over an RMAX?
It has more preformance
@@cooperwarren9658 It comes up short in every category compared to the Rmax... just check
Biased ppl
Cheaper... a friend is seriously looking at one. And he's never seen an Rmax. And I have an RMax2 and ask him to come by the house to see it. It's almost like he's afraid he'll like it more. Weird denial stuff.
@@kenp4464 people just like their brand.
I have a 2015 Commander. I was really looking forward to a new model. But this new model is a joke. I am a huge Can Am fan. But what did they do to the Commander? When the original came out, there was nothing like it. It was refined. Comfy bucket seats that came out to be used as a camp chair, cup holder's, really nice steering wheel, projector beam headlights; Hell, it had push start! Most cars didnt have push start then. It was like no other machine. Now, this machine is two steps backwards. No projector lights, no hidden box, below the box, small bumper in the front, no piggy back suspension on the XT model (yes, the older one didnt neither, but the the new General does on every trim level.) The old dash on the XT and up, was much nicer. I was expecting another industry upset with the new Commander, what we got was model with less options,
that looks like CF Moto made it. Sad... Can Am really dropped the ball here, even if oil changes and belt inspections are a bit easier.
You seriously suggesting the older Commander was refined and a better vehicle all around then this newer version??? 😂
I agree CanAm needs to update the interior but at these price points it's a better "value" then it's competitors.
1978JWJ well, yeah. I am. The only things that are better on the new one is door, shocks and maybe a wider stance, that is not for everyone. I paid, in 2015 for an xt $19,000 out the door with a plough, roof, half windshield and net for the back. Yes, inflation. But tell, me whats better about the new one? Suspension? Its not great. It looks worse. The engine is the same. Fill me in. Id love to know. I think id buy a General long before this machine.
The real point I am trying to make though, is the original shook the industry. Can am has had more then 10 years to put a new platform together. What they have done here falls far below my expectations from them.
Had a 2015 and now a 2021, love it,newer cammander way easier to service,and change belt.
Wow. Not a good time for a failure
