Bought a 2020 Ranger 1000 this past year. What an upgrade from an 08 sportsman X2. Plowed our first snow storm that was 15”. Waited till it was all done and said we’re gonna see what sees made off. What an awesome machine. Tackled it with ease. Love the Polaris pro snow plow system. I made 5’-6’ piles. Definitely two thumbs up.
Video started with a cam am ad! Lol plan on ordering my north star in a week or two. Debating which package and add ons. Headache rack with winch for loading deer for sure. Taller the box gets the harder time I’m having loading deer
Great video, I have been watching several videos on this machine but yours answers all my questions. I currently own 6 machines but I am debating trading in for one of these full enclosed units. Thank you!
Hey just so you know. The air-conditioning does not work in hot areas. My family and I purchased one to use in Arizona. I made a video on my family's polaris horror story. I have been buying new polaris for over 20 years.
Great video on a great machine but you do have a few specs wrong. The suspension travel on the Ultimate is 10" not 11" This is due to having 29" tires instead of the 27" tires. The MB Quart stereo shown is an option and not standard on any unit. The NS Ultimate does come with the stereo in the Ride Command and 2 speakers installed in the lower dash. They are however a MUCH higher quality speaker than the ones you get when you buy the normal MB Quart dash mounted radio. Great unit mine is scheduled to arrive sometime in January.
Would so love that ! Would you agree that in this segment of top tear rigs that a premium set of shocks should be in order ? Or even dynamix that would sense a heavy load out back ?
Could you please give us your perspective of the difference on the cab noise level under throttle between this machine and the Can Am Defender Limited.
Its really noisy. There is really no insulation besides the thin plastic boxes under the back seat that are right next to the engine. I made a video on my family's polaris horror story.
Did they fix the A/C??? Heard several ppl say the A/C on the Polaris sucks and won’t keep the cab cool on a hot ride. The videos never seem to list any cons of the vehicles they “review”
If you don't feel our review is objective enough, feel free to watch the 21 minute walk-around video that AJ did on this vehicle. Might find more what you're looking for...
For a strictly utility vehicle, I think this is great but I can't imagine all the added electronics and mechanics would last long if you're using it mostly for off-road recreation. I feel features like the power windows would slip off their tracks and jam up after a few good bumps through the chassis. Particularly if a passenger is in the process of rolling theirs up or down when you hit that bump in the "road"
I think their suspensions are set up similarly. I think it would take a side-x-side comparison to really feel any noticeable difference. The real deal is that both these models need premium shock packages with adjustability. For the Polaris, we would love to see some variation of DYNAMIX perhaps with more focus on compensating for load and driver/passenger weight instead of performance like the RZR. My guess is Polaris is already working on something like this.
@@paulheier I've had 3 rangers and this North Star, the Can Am Defender lone star edition and a Kubota with a cab. All were nice but at least I am dry and the dogs ride in the back seat again. The Kubota was a fine machine but was a bench seat and no where for the dogs. The Can Am was the roomiest and fastest one with a ton of storage, some removable.
I purchased a new polaris northstar for my family and I to use in the Arizona desert. Big mistake the air-conditioning system does not work in hot climates. The system is not big enough to overcome the heat from all the glass and engine heat that comes up thru the thin plastic floor. I made a video on my family's polaris horror story. I have been buying new polaris for over 20 years. Polaris instead of fixing the problem said in a email that the air-conditioning system does not work like a car air conditioning system. but they advertise it as automobile airconditioning system. four season motorsports and polaris ripped my family off. As you can see if you do any kind of search on poaris fires. They dont listen or fix problems customers have with their vehicles. government just fined them 27 million dollars.
I agree totally. These things are meant to be driven roughly over rough terrain. All those extra bells and whistles are only something else to give out, and end up costing you money. I need a sxs that's able to handle the terrain, and is relatively comfortable. If I wanted all the rest of those electronics I'd buy a damn Jeep.
Well. I've watched this and the defender comparison vid. And no offense but I felt like it's more of a sales pitch for polaris. ( I own a polaris general ride command deluxe). No offense. My "beef" with these two comparisons is simple. They did not prove a thing of use. As an owner I can say my interest would be in a test with interior cab noise. Via decibel meter. A temperature test. Heater on a 20 degree day ac on in the 80s. Fuel tank capacity could be mentioned. So could the EPS features " but polaris has none" Also your "premium " buyer idea is off. These sell great in Northern me. Due to climate not because we are all wealthy. And NOBODY has been happy with polaris quality. I'm on my THIRD clutch... just my rant....
Better fit and finish? No way lmao. After sitting in one back to back with a defender limited, the polaris is definitely still far behind. It has lots of cool gadgets, but it definitely isn’t as good of build quality as the can am
I bought one for my family to use in Arizona. The air-conditioning does not work in hot areas. It will dust you out inside. I made a video if you ever want to watch it.
I bought a 2019 Northstar. The biggest piece of junk that I have ever owned. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. The primary clutch went bad ( a known problem), Polaris doesn't stand behind it. They leave the considerable expense to their customers. Both front cv boots were messed up within the first 6 months. There isn't any kind of protection for them. The rear suspension broke. Now at 3 years old the window mechanism is broken. I almost never use it. It is used on a small farm and has low hours. I will never buy anything from Polaris again. I have always owned Yamahas. I regret trying something else !
Had a 2007 model, boy have they come along ways since then! Time to save up!!! Thanks for an Awesome show!!!!

Video started with a cam am ad! Lol plan on ordering my north star in a week or two. Debating which package and add ons. Headache rack with winch for loading deer for sure. Taller the box gets the harder time I’m having loading deer
Nice vidéo 👍
Been waiting on our new ranger since early March
Oh yeah, so I purchased this machine also because of you guys.
Awesome!
I want a NorthStar RZR 1000! Riding trails in Moab or Morrow Country Oregon in A/C would be AWESOME! And snow riding on tracks would be sweet!
hey just so you know the air-conditioning does not work in hot climates. I made a video on one my family and I bought to use in Arizona.

Absolutely!
I was wandering does it have trailer electical connections?
does anyone know the mpg on the 1000 or how far you can go on a tank of gas
Any word on rzr 2021 rzr trail 1000
Still waiting for the XP1000 premium ordered January 27...
Our 2022 northstar ultimate doesn’t have full audio. 2 speakers. No sub or overhead speakers
Could you please give us your perspective of the difference on the cab noise level under throttle between this machine and the Can Am Defender Limited.
Its really noisy. There is really no insulation besides the thin plastic boxes under the back seat that are right next to the engine. I made a video on my family's polaris horror story.
Please let us hear the noise level in the cab with the windows up at full throttle.
Good question. I think can am quieter cab both are very nice.
Can you review a defender xmr
Would love to! Don't have one on the schedule for this season, but we will see if we can get our hands on one!
No arched a arms?
Would it be possible to upgrade to fox shocks on this model? Thanks
Probably.
The upgraded stereo is an option does not come standard
Review the 2021 Honda pioneer 1000 5 base model I haven’t seen one yet
VERY EXPENSIVE PLASTIC KIT ^_^
Ganda naman Ng car,, Ayaay

I have the 2020 ultimate, and the AC was awesome on 90 degree days. I had a host of other issues, but loved the AC.
Would love to see a review of the new brute force 750 wondering the good and bad about them
Didn’t y’all review this a few weeks ago?
Did a walk-around for our channel.
For a strictly utility vehicle, I think this is great but I can't imagine all the added electronics and mechanics would last long if you're using it mostly for off-road recreation.

How plush is suspension compared to defender
I think their suspensions are set up similarly. I think it would take a side-x-side comparison to really feel any noticeable difference. The real deal is that both these models need premium shock packages with adjustability. For the Polaris, we would love to see some variation of DYNAMIX perhaps with more focus on compensating for load and driver/passenger weight instead of performance like the RZR. My guess is Polaris is already working on something like this.
@@dirttraxtv good if compared side by side thanks
I just traded my Can Am for the North Star Ultimate. It is nice but smaller that the Can Am
Is the can am or polaris more quiet? Do you notice a noise difference while driving at 30-35 mph? Thanks
@@paulheier The can am was quieter and a lot more responsive. I went for all the bells and whistles with the Ranger and might have made a mistake.
@@79xlch I like the Polaris better but the can am seems to have quieter cab. Either one is pretty darn nice.
@@paulheier I've had 3 rangers and this North Star, the Can Am Defender lone star edition and a Kubota with a cab. All were nice but at least I am dry and the dogs ride in the back seat again.

How much?
In Canada over 30k I think
27 US and 33 CDN for this model.
@@dirttraxtv yikes
"it works so well" until it in doesn't just imagine the nightmare of fixing that that thing
I agree totally. These things are meant to be driven roughly over rough terrain. All those extra bells and whistles are only something else to give out, and end up costing you money. I need a sxs that's able to handle the terrain, and is relatively comfortable. If I wanted all the rest of those electronics I'd buy a damn Jeep.
@@frankdawe5156 I can see where a jeep could be more effective

Looks like a copy of the defender to me

Not worth the money
it is if you've got the cash to burn
Pure junk
Polaris are TRASH! Had a few before I wised up. This channel has become a huge yawner.
