In a battle of six-passenger Utility UTVs, we see how the 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 and Can-Am Defender MAX XT HD10 compare – by the numbers.

When Can-Am launched the Defender lineup in answer to Polaris’ class-leading Ranger machines, it didn’t take long for the Defender to also make space in the six-passenger arena to take on the mighty Ranger Crew as well. The biggest shot came from the Defender’s HD10 platform with a 72-horsepower 976cc Rotax V-Twin engine, which put Polaris at a disadvantage with its 900-class Ranger motor. The following year, Polaris answered with the Ranger 1000. Also available in the Crew model, the Ranger had the horsepower, but was lacking in other areas like handling and functionality compared to what Can-Am had done with the Defender. Not one to rest, Polaris was already hard at work on the next generation Ranger. Recently, the all-new 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 made its debut. How does it compare to the Defender MAX? Let’s take a look at the numbers to see.

Single seat sweetness!

It certainly hasn’t taken the aftermarket world long to cut, chop and enhance the all new Polaris RZR RS1 with a host of upgraded goodies. We showcased a few impressive RS1s that we spotted within weeks of the platform’s release, but now it seems the word is out and everyone is going to town on them. Here are 10 awesome Polaris RZR RS1s.

Single seat turbo power!

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that the boys from Packard Performance were among the first to outfit the new Polaris RZR RS1 with a turbo upgrade kit. Packard Performance is known for it’s big horsepower upgrades for the YXZ1000R, RZR and Maverick X3, so it only makes sense that these guys would be quick to build a power up package for the revolutionary new single-seat platform. We’ll keep you updated on the horsepower numbers as we learn more.

Hey guys, I purchased a 2003 trailblazer 400 a couple of weeks ago and figured this would be a great spot to share info. Im in Tijeras, New Mexico

from what I can tell it has an aftermarket pipe, and a K&N. pulls hard in the mid to top end, bottom end is a little lacking. Im not new to 2 strokes, Ive had several 2 stroke vespa scooters, one that I modded up to 22hp (thats a lot in the scooter world). Anyway, nice to be here.

Pros and cons of running same width tires on front and back? Stock atv tire width is 8-10 front and 10-12 rear.....

My 2014 renegade 800 R rear differential is leaking where the drive shaft goes in.
How big a job is it to replace the seal?
I bought it used from a Honda dealer with a extended warranty so I am hoping they will cover it but if they won't how hard is it to do.
The Renegade only has 350 miles on I'm bummed it is already leaking.

Thanks

I've got a 2009 850 sportsman that jumped time recently, the crank gear did not spin... chain is just stretched and the tensioner was maxed out.
I have the head out at the machine shop replacing the valves, pistons are fine. Is there a way to replace timing chain without splitting the case?

Any suggestions on carrying extra fuel? I'm hearing I can't expect more than 80 miles per tank on my 2018 Outlander 850XT Max. Looking at going 122 miles between gas stations on the MacGruder Corridor between Idaho and Montana.
