@terminaltsi The PPE turbo would help it out but RPM will be the limiting factor. The Yanmar governs out at 3850 rpm. It pulls great across its powerband though. Mine will do about 40mph and it is enough for me!
I do believe the only change made for the 2012 model was that the soft-shift kit for the 2011 model comes pre-installed. Because apparently the 2011 model was a little hard to shift between gears.
Great video. I'm looking at buying this exact model second hand. I need to run heavy material down a 45 degree embankment and make it back up again. Do you think this vehicle is suited for that?
I bet that thing could spin outlaws very easily or maybe even a 30" truck tire like the nitto mud grapplers or Toyo opencountrys the possibilities are endless
i own a ranger diesel the only down side ive found is the weak factory 4 ply carlisle tires which i replaced with 8 ply pitbulls now i can run it any where !
"CVT's like rpm when they are shifting under heavy loads" - That is nonsense. No, Polaris just didn't want to produce an entirely new sheave system to run at the lower rpm that the diesel uses.
Finally, a good review of the Ranger Diesel. Thank you, thank you. I'd like to see some footage of the diesel crew. Did they make any improvements on the 2012 Ranger Diesel?
Love my 2012 Diesel Crew. We recently turned up the fuel plunger and got a bit more acceleration and top speed out of the engine. The fuel plunger has a tamper resistant cover you have to remove. EPA crap.
If it was a turbo diesel. That would open it to ALLOT more buyers because it could still be a bullet. Love diesels. But one without a turbo is a two legged dog.

Pacific Performance Engineering offers a Garrett turbo kit for the Ranger diesel.

They need to make a stick shift version with a automotive style transmission and a clutch
@DRTYFN yeah if it could be turbo'd then we could turn up the fuel and have some serious fun! that 800 gas engine wouldn't out run it then.
getting The turbo from ppe installed on it
Ooooh... I like it. I wonder if it could be turbocharged?

Why have you got no tests of a Kawasaki mule.
Have the ppe kit on mine
I am buying one
Did they make the transmission anymore dependable? Ours has been junk.
Why didn't he put the totes in the bed instead of using the trailer
buy off road diesel seeing as its not going on the road or in need of inspections
💪👍👌
I have one
I'm getting a
