These are just my opinions.



Polaris Ranger

Smoothest ride

Most power and speed

Most available accessories

Least dependable



Yamaha Viking

Smooth Ride

A little bulkier and wider than the other two listed

Next in power and speed below the ranger

Dependable



Honda

Least amount of power

A little smaller than the other two listed

Dependable



I have owned a few Rangers and have friends that own the Hondas and Yamahas. It really all depends on what the machine is going to be used for. There are a lot of discussions on this topic in the archives. Just do your homework and buy the machine that will best fit your needs. Good luck!

Am I the only one the chuckles at the "my truck/Jeep/explorer/Blazer/ect. will go anywhere a UTV can go" comments?

Carry-on fellas. I'm just ribbing y'all.

I have a buddy that did the same but is it enough savings to off set the cost of time and fuel? I am tax exempt right here at home.

It was well worth my time and fuel. I'm not tax exempt so my situation and yours are different. Best recommendation is to give them a call and see what they will do. Texas dealers were quoting me at $11K+. I'm in the Houston area. Made the RT in one long day.

Take a serious look at the John Deere XUV's Dad bought an 825i and that thing is a BEAST. Ton's of power, heavier than the competitions but it does amazing in flooded rice fields and muddy East Texas fields. They are a tad pricey but after dad having owned it for over 2 years it's 100% reliable and dependable. Starts every turn of the key and will take you to hell and back without getting stuck.

I bought one of these last summer. Absolute beast!!

I have a 2010 400 Ranger and love it. I wanted the smaller size, and for my needs its perfect. I have a hard top, and a winch on it along with a 30" light bar. I would recommend those ***. on what ever brand you choose.

I looked a large ranch this week that is very rugged. All of the roads appear to be either 4wheel drive or UTV/ATV only. The rocks were brutal. We rode around in a Polaris Ranger 800cc crew. It was set up with the raised seat in the back, gun racks, etc. It made the ride very nice. I was impressed with the ride. I left the ranch impressed by the machine except for one thing. If I was going to go buy one, I would be looking for higher ground clearance. I don't know what the clearances are on the new models but that would be very important to me. If nothing else, I would look at putting larger tires to gain some room.

Ok, I'm an electric guy....BUT....our place we got on last year is VVEERRYY rough and hilly. Even tho my cart still does fine and I prefer it over a gasser 80% of the time I am considering getting a gas ride. Two reasons, I think the rough terrain and long elevated drives will dramatically shorten my cart. The other is that with my expanded family, 5 now, I am running out of room. My two older girls are getting so big that the 3 of us can't sit comfortably in it anymore. I will have to either build me a high for my cart or get a gasser with a second seat or a high rack.

My reason for going electric is stealth. I like sneaking around on the roads and I really hate engine noise. I really hate engine noise at the lease. Almost to the point where I would like to ban all atv/utv from the lease.

With that said which of the gas rides in the quietest?? Or is the lesser of two evils? I want a utv that sounds like car, little to no engine sound. I have a lease truck but I like riding open air especially when hunting. I enjoy the ride better and see more.
I have thought about a Sami but they are all standard and I am a little too big to fit comfy in them.

What are your thoughts?

That is an awesome ride and would be my preferred set up.

Ranger 900XP Crew would be exactly what you're looking for. Absolutely the quietest ride.
