COMFORT
Every detail of the refined interior puts the driver and passengers first for comfort and convenience.
Protection from the Elements
The factory-installed cab system—including a tip-out windshield and powered front windows—keep the elements out so you can comfortably ride in rainy, snowy or dusty conditions.
Control Your Climate
Factory-installed heating and air conditioning lets you control the climate for all-season comfort. For quick relief on hot days, a variable AC compressor automatically varies its pumping capacity to deliver faster cooling and lower temperatures, even when at idle and low engine RPMs.
Seats Made for Overtime
Work and ride longer with seats designed for extended days outdoors. RANGER offers premium bench-style seating to enhance efficiency, comfort and support. Its seamless design allows you easily slide in and out of the vehicle as you transition through tasks. Adjustable positioning and angled seatbacks enable a more ergonomic fit, while added back bolsters deliver a more stable, secure ride across rough terrain.
In-Cab Convenience
Secure a spot for your must-have items with easy-to-access storage, including dual-integrated glove boxes, underseat driver bin, and flip-up passenger seat with configurable space. Keep beverages secure with up to 8 cup holders. Plus, charge your devices with a USB charging port.
Extend Your Day
LED headlights provide a bold, refined look while delivering enhanced illumination when you start your day before sunrise or end after sunset.
CAPABILITY
Whether you’re hauling gear, towing a trailer or transporting people, make quick work of any task with the power of the dual overhead cam (DOHC) engine.
Performance With Precision
Stay smooth and controlled on the job or trail, thanks to 3-position throttle control with different drive modes. Choose Performance for more response, Standard for everyday driving, or Work for improved low-speed control.
Prepped with Pulling Power
Complete the job or get back on the trail quicker and a factory-installed Polaris HD 4,500-lb. winch with synthetic rope, autostop and wireless remote.
Overcome Obstacles
Easily overcome rocky terrain with 14" of ground clearance that delivers more space to glide over bumps and obstacles.
DURABILITY
Take on tough jobs and challenging trails, day in and day out, with a vehicle you can depend on.
Confidently Carry Cargo
Maximize every load with a 1,000-lb. cargo box that features multiple integrated tie-down points to ensure your load stays secure.
Equipped to Adapt
Adapt to the terrain with 3 driveline modes: AWD, 2WD and VersaTrac Turf. For work around the house, use VersaTrac Turf Mode to unlock the rear differential—enabling easier and tighter turns that won't tear up your lawn.
DURABILITY
Take on tough jobs and challenging trails, day in and day out, with a vehicle you can depend on.
Effortless Shifting
Command the driver's seat with confidence, thanks to the upgraded transmission. It reduces shift effort by up to 50% to easily shift between drive, park and reverse - delivering a consistent, predictable feel.
Enhanced Protection
Boldly navigate obstacles with a rigid one-piece chassis, a redesigned front end featuring a larger front bumper, and a full-body skid plate.
Sure-Footed Traction
Relax and enjoy the ride with 29" Pro Armor X Terrain tires. The new innovative variable tread design reduces perceived noise for a more pleasant cab experience while the 8-ply rating provides superior puncture resistance in rugged terrain.
Increased Uptime
Class-leading service intervals (200 hours or 2,000 miles) keep you up and running so you can stay on the go.
Quieter Ride
Sealed suspension bushings prevent mud, dirt, and water from entering, ensuring your machine runs quietly without routine maintenance.
