I have a Polaris Ranger since 2015 that I use around the farm and for plowing snow. It's been fantastic. I just wish I would have gotten the bigger engine (I have the 570) and A/C would have been sweet. Also a MN based company so I'm biased

My neighbor has a Kubota diesel which is also a really nice machine

Polaris Ranger NorthStar XP1000 will be having your squad mates fighting to ride shotgun, pun intended.

Never had any issues with it but during COVID sold it for what I paid for it 5 years prior to get the Trail Boss which had an additional inch of ground clearance and more comfortable seats. Built a dog box for hunting it swapped right on over.

The new XP1500 has 15" of ground clearance and more ponies than anything else out there. Polaris is going to have more aftermarket accessories than others. And living in Polaris Country agree with @MNGunner In some towns you will see more Polaris Rangers than cars and trucks. With a few Can Am but not many. If you are looking at Kubota that can't get out of its own way but has plenty of low end power might as well add John Deere HVAC to the list. I looked at them all plus drove them (except Daihatsu, hard pass) and Polaris was hands down the winner. No regrets.

^That's what I would get if I were getting one today!

Where did you get the topper!? That looks awesome!

I spent 14 months in Iraq, I can take the heat.

I went through Ranger School in the winter, I can take the cold.

I’m researching these vehicles so my special needs child can accompany my family while shooting and she can be comfortable and safe.

Thank you to all of the contributors who posted before this went sideways, it provided valuable information for my research.

Thanks for your service and you're on the right path!

I have a heater for my Ranger and like I said, I wish I would have gotten the AC for farm work.

One thing I forgot to mention is that when I bought my Ranger I was a little shocked by just how quickly all the additions added up like roof, glass windshield for snow plowing, heater/defroster, rear window, winch, plow with hydraulics, etc. I also got the Jeep style soft doors. They are OK but my neighbor has the hard doors and it's a great upgrade. Though cost containment is probably an issue across the board with all manufacturers
