Just bought a ranger 1000 a few days ago. My favourite toy I have ever owned.
Great comparison, I was debating these two machines and now I know I’m gonna go with the ranger, based on application of use. Thank you
Live in Tennessee. This video was a big help. I was having a hard time deciding between these exact 2 units. I now know what I'm going with. Thanks!
Thanks for watching mate, Im glad it helped !
Man (mate), thats incredible that you have both machines and took the time to do such an in-depth review. Very helpful, there is a demo General coming up for sale locally and i'm really glad i watched this, the ranger might be the better machine for our use, really glad I watched this video! Good on ya!
No worries mate ! I appreciate the awesome comment and hope this helped in your decision making. Cheers
Awesome Review Ty. Thanks for the detail. The General sounds wicked.
Great review. I ended up getting the Ranger 1000 Crew (big family). So far, does everything we need and want it to do.
Really nice video comparison. I bought a 2011 Polaris Ranger 800 XP brand new back in March 2011 and I still own it today. It's not had any issues I still have the original CVT belt on it and ride/use it daily almost. I have been looking at the General though because it looks much more fun on the trail.
Thank you! Everything I hoped for in a thorough review. Ranger is probably the way to go for me.
I'm torn, I will use it more on my ranch, but want to go raise hell once a while... Ranger for sure has more rear box space..
Thx man. Great info! Im torn between the two. honestly after ur vid, its ranger for me.
Thanks mate......Great video. Your closing comments sold me on the RANGER
Awesome mate !!! 💪🏼😎
Good review having run the xp which was a great buggy now have the General as you have said it is noisy as I hunt with mine I will enquire about changing the exhaust as the top end power I really don’t need .
great info! thank you. helped me make the decision to go with the XP1000
Cheers jason glad I helped mate 👍🏼
Great review mate thank you!!
Thanks for the comparison, very helpful for my choice between the two.
No problem! Thanks for watching
Thanks so much very helpful! Desperately needed this info for my decision. I’m going General. Xo
Great video and info.Just bought a 19 deluxe. I picked it because i only have 1 acre and plan on doing more trail riding.
Perfect mate ! I hope you enjoy it !
I have a 2018 Ranger XP. I bought the tip out windshield. You just tip the bottom out an inch or so and no dust and it also helps cool the inside when it is hot outside
Same here. EMP tip out.
Thanks for that mate great help for me in a ♿️ & can see the comparison, thing flying drones off & property life I’m leaning towards ranger. Love how general seats are & would hold me in better. Great channel mate ;)
Thanks mate !!! I hope it helped in your decision making, like I mentioned I’d go with the ranger now if I had my time again. Would be interesting to see if you could get RZR or General seats to mount in the ranger could be an option. Have a great day mate.
TY FENWICK cheers mate & yes I’m going with ranger hopefully pick it up this week. Look forward to cutting loose :) you’ll have to follow my channel Ty
Best review of 200 that I have seen thank you. Would you bother with a 500 which is so much cheaper and easier to buy. For 2,500 ac farm and black clay mud? I need a 200lt spray pack in the back for burr spraying.
Great video I made my decision
Mate you are a legend, thanks for taking the time to make this video, I’ve been waiting for this comparison and you have nailed it, quality is brilliant 👍🏻 Totally sold me on the Ranger, would love to have both but the utilitarian aspect and versatility of the Ranger I think is the go for me.
Yeah man I’m with you, ranger hands down I’d prefer over the general now after using both. So glad Polaris decided to chuck 1000cc in the ranger.
Round The
Great video!
Thanks mate I appreciate you checking it out 🤙🏼
Great review
I wish I had one 😎
Theres holes in the frame of the ranger for the wiring to go in ny your head and out at the bottom near the bolts for the cage.
The 2020 General has an automatic breaking system and this was the only reason I went with the Ranger 1000 Premium. This is my first UTV. Loved your Video!
Sick video, good work mate. I’ve got the general and love it.
I noticed you did your own fix on the door separating issue, do you know their is a recall/service advisory that you can get it fixed by Polaris. The door latches are replaced as well and make the doors way more like a car. Definitely recommend getting it done, but make sure you hold onto your original door seals before you get it done 👍🏼
Thanks mate ! I’m thinking about doing another video with both units like hill climbs, braking, power take offs etc, yeah I’ll contact my dealer and get that sorted out cheers. Thanks for watching and consider subscribing if your into to everything outdoors. Going to have dirt bike stuff coming onto the channel also
TY FENWICK I think my unit was the first one in Australia to get the door fix done, I had heaps of issues and saw the service advisory get realised on the general forum and booked in straight away. Let me know if you want any photos etc, makes such a difference. Subscribed mate, can’t believe I haven’t come across your channel already. I’ve got a couple hunting videos on mine if you want to have a look, still got to put something together with our hunting trips in the general.
Wompy88 Thanks mate I appreciate it !
Yes I’ll check out your channel, I’m going to call up and get my doors sorted hahaha
I bought he ranger 900xp eps premium ... honestly cannot see spending the difference for 100cc more but I love the Ranger.. it’s peppy and can haul weight and just did a trail ride with the club and it was amazing ... only had to use the 4 wheel drive once to get out of a big puddle, the rest of the time 2wheel drive and we had all kinds of conditions... ashphalt roads, rock , mud , wet sand , snow , ice probably forgetting something lol but ranger definitely has my vote

about the can am saga - I think we have all done that. I have anyways and it was stressful and I lost a lot of money. I hope I learned something from it though.
Great video and excellent points you made.

Hey Bro,
Awesome video, very informative, I’m thinking of getting a Polaris for camping purposes with mates should I go for The General 4 1000 or The Ranger Crew 1000 , this is going to be my entry point into this market, which one do you recommend,
Cheers 🤙🏻
Depends on what your using it for more mate, if it’s just camping then I’d go for the ranger 1000, You can carry a lot more stuff in the back. Thanks for watching mate.
TY FENWICK Thank Bro, you’ve been a great help, Take Care 🤙🏻
Hey Bro,
Just a quick question, what is the towing Compacity on the Ranger,
Cheers 🤘🏻
Mate I believe it about 1.2 ton or 2500 pounds
Great review! I have the 18 Ranger and love it also. Have been through the big 4x4 scene from the 70’s then got into off-road rail type and quads. Time to relax and enjoy the scenery. I put 2’ lift and 30” tires on it. This thing will go a lot of places in comfort. I bought it also for my 2 dogs to ride with me. They love the trail too.one of these days I’m going to figure out the dust problem. I love the look of both units and wish I could justify having both. My wife would kill me. Thanks!
Sounds like you enjoying your time in the Polaris mate ! Hats off to you for such a kind comment. Thankyou for watching I really appreciate it.
Northstar edition takes care of the dust issue
Install a rear windshield and no front windshield, or a tip out front windshield along with the rear is your best bet for less dust.
Excellent video mate.. but I noticed when the wind started to pick up the audio got a bit glitchy.. I think it’s only because of the wind because there wasn’t a problem with your recent video about the tabnetic mount.. keep up the good videos bud 👌🏼👌🏼
Yeah mate I noticed that, it was so windy today hard to get away from it
I wonder if he had the Ranger in Performance mode or work mode. Performance mode is fairly peppy compared to work mode.
good comparison, thank you. May i ask if someone knows if there exist a full enclosure cabin, with Heater and aircondition, like the Northstar Edition, but for the General? Thank you.
I live in a very dusty environment, maybe it’s just me and I’m used to it, but I don’t mind the dust, I have both windows in my Ranger XP 1000. Love my ranger though, flipping amazing (Edit) Also I like my ranger a lot because I, well.. I’m a farmer, but I have an ECU tune and Clutch kit for the fun parts.. which makes it go up to 100+ HP in performance, and if I’m not trail riding or racing, I’ll just put it in standard which removes the Tune. I have very smooth and badass Aftermarket tries (28x10) and it makes me smile every time I hit a whoop, fantastic for a utility machine. Never dove a general but, from what I’ve heard, I’ll keep my wrapped XP 1000 :) Great video!
Thanks for the awesome comment ! Glad you enjoyed the video 🤘🏼😁
couple questions, I own a general as well
1. what brand of gun mount?
2 what did you use to dampen engine noise.
and a comment, how tall are you?, looks like your head was pretty close to the gun mount. would be a really bad day if you had a roll over with no helmet,,lol, im a safety rep at work, so I notice these things
Kangaroo hunting hell yea lol awsome review man gonna pick up a northstar ultimate tomorrow
I keep burning through drive belts on my general. Thinking about changing the whole clutch assembly.
Yeah I did that mate unfortunately it didn’t fix it, see if you can upgrade to the rzr clutch setup
Cracking review Ty,
I live in Central NSW and am still torn between these two models.
I do a lot of pig chasing, but also do a lot of trail rides and go fast stuff. I ride my 2019 Sportsman 570 like its a Scrambler when I havent get the dogs on. I have plenty of urge to go fast still and was thinking of the General but knocking up an alloy tray for it to replace the bucket but mounting it on the tipper frame.
Do a lot of hunting but also a lot of go fast stuff, not really bothered on jumping but... not yet anyway.
Still torn between the two!
Feedback would be appreciated!!
Cheers legend
I’d prob go the general mate, Ranger is a good machine but it feels sketchy driving it fast with no bucket seats you tend to move around more on the bench seat
@@TyFenwick thanks mate appreciate the feedback
is it me or did you not swap the rear shocks when you installed the lift? Most of those bracket lifts call to swap them left to right and right to left to have the reservoir repositioned.....
Did not need to switch them with this kit.
I am close to deciding on the Ranger XP 1000, but I have heard people telling me a belt driven transmission is not as good as a shaft? I don't know if I got the description right, but can anyone explain that to me and give experiences? Thanks
Correct it’s not as good but I don’t know if there’s anything on the market besides Yamaha that has one. Belts been fine however 👍🏼
The ranger for hunting worked it out in the woods maybe going on a joy ride that's itThe ranger for hunting worked it out in the woods maybe going on a joy ride that's it Thanks for your comments
Did you go with the general over the commander because of the dealer
I don’t like the look of the commander
Top speed on the general
About 100ks
*impulse buys a 40k can am*
Strooth!!
WTF YALL GET DIESELS !?! Fuck yeaaaah!
Great video, and a fair Dinkum to ya
Sorry I had to drop all my Aussie words I know
Cheers from Lancaster, SC USA
Hahaha love it mate cheers 😂😂😂🤘🏼
Where did you get your gun rack from on the general mate
I made it mate 🤙🏼
Good job iv got my polaris 4 1000 coming this week need gun racks 🤣
Change the muffler on the General and it will be a lot quieter.
what muffler do you recommend?
3200 trouble free miles? Im on the fence with the General or the Wolverine X2....
So I think the general has 300 something hours on it, and yes I’ve had no drama at all. It’s been a great machine !
@@TyFenwick Nice, thanks for the quick reply.
The box the Ranger comes in is more aerodynamic than the Ranger
You trying to set land speed records ?
Its why the whirlwind of dust
MY WILD GUESS PRICE FOR THIS ATV IS; $59,000.00, IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME.
The ranger is $24000 in AUS the General is about $26000.
How rich are you bro?
Rich ? Ain’t rich mate just work my ass off to get to where I want to be in life.
General top speed?
Ranger top speed ?
General was about 105k on dirt from memory, I think the fastest I got the ranger was 90k
@@TyFenwick thanx !!!
You can hunt Kangaroos????
Sure do !
So basically you prefer killing animals over driving
Na both at same time is great ! 😁
Why don't you compare apples to apples. Stock vs modified. Makes no sense to me
Because I’m not pulling everything off the general to make it stock for 1 video... that makes no sense to me ! It’s more of an overview comparison then technically.
Can you talk any slower?
If you need me to I can 🤔
@@TyFenwick lol
good comparison, thank you. May i ask if someone knows if there exist a full enclosure cabin, with Heater and aircondition, like the Northstar Edition, but for the General? Thank you.
Κωστας Σχοιναρακης yes ! Polaris make a heater kit along with full enclosed cab kit. I don’t think they have air conditioning how ever.
full enclosure and heat are available through Polaris I used a hot rod add on air-conditioner kit and aftermarket upper 1/2 door(canvas) works great but cab is not sealed as well as the north-star so it can still be a bit dusty but its sooooooo much better than the dust with only lower doors also use it with tracks in the winter and the heater will cook you out and warms up fast windshield wiper is a must have IMO
