I'm game. I have a trail that that Ranger wouldn't make it 20 ft onto. Hell most of the quad trails we ride on in Lake Arrowhead that thing wouldn't be able to go.

I have neither, but I think the parts for the Rhino are easier to get. Most ppl who have these expensive off road vehicles, like to "trick" them out...
I haven't seen a ranger "tricked" out yet. If I get one, I will go with the Rhino! UNLESS SOMEONE HAS A "TRICKED OUT" RANGER TO SHOW ME...

There are trails there too. My buddies parents live in Lake Arrohead and we ride straight outta their garage to the trails. There are barriers to limit wide vehicles onto the quad trails. My Rhino just barely squuezes through them.

The Rangers are little behind on the aftermarket but they are growing. Can't go wrong with either one.

I like the Ranger's room for 3 inside, and the greater towing/payload. It's just too big to fit in a pickup bed, and is closer to the size of a Jeep than the Rhino...so I went with the Yamaha.

And as far as tricking out a Ranger. If you have the dough you can trick out any one of these vehicles. I have seen bitchin' vehicles of all makes.

I was told by a Everthing Off road that an 800 EFI Rhino sytle Ranger is soon to be unveiled. Everthing off road is doing some nice seating conversions to rid of the bus feel. I'll buy another when I see the new stuff.

Friends don't let friends buy Polaris.
A common saying on the off-road forums.
Horrible customer service and parts availibility on most their products.
None available on their discontinued lines.
You can buy any part for any Yamaha ever made.
I'm not knockin' the Ranger, just the sorry-ass company that makes it.

I think they both are very cool and are a great time. When I was thinking about getting one (either one), I talked to my friend who is a service manager at a Honda store and he said Polaris are "polarious" and suggested the Yamaha. I think either way, you cant go wrong, it's what works for you. For me, I bought the Rhino because I like to follow trends & jump on band wagons. I'm going to be selling mine for pennies on the dollar real soon because I obviously can't afford it......:D :rolleyes:

I was at my Local Kawai dealer yesterday and the Dealer rep was there.
He mentioned that an all new sport Mule will be out soon and in his words: "Far better set up that the Rhino".
It will have a 70 hp V twin, wide suspension with decent travel, and a legit dedicated back seat.
His words,, not mine.
He also mentioned that "a new improved Rhino is on the horizon and from what he could tell,, the Mule will have it beat, and then some".
So,, might be worth the wait.
We're waiting for the second generations before we jump in.
We'll be buying a giantic toy hauler and it has to fit.

.Starting today, the game has changed. Introducing RANGER RZR, the first trail capable, side-by-side vehicle that screams down the trails as the fastest accelerating and lightest side-by-side; navigates through tight, twisty terrain with ease; and tackles mud, rocks and anything else nature throws its way for the ultimate off-road experience.
“RANGER RZR was designed to appeal to a wide variety of riders,” said Matt Homan, general manager of RANGER. “Avid trail riders will appreciate RANGER RZR’s ability to go anywhere an ATV can go; hunters will enjoy the ability to navigate to the most remote and extreme hunting spots while hauling enough gear for two; and side-by-side sport enthusiasts will find RANGER RZR’s light weight, cornering ability, acceleration and top speed appealing.”
At 50 inches wide, RANGER RZR is the only trail capable side-by-side in its class. At 945 lbs, it is the lightest side-by-side with the lowest cage height, compared to its competitors, which ensures true trail accessibility. RANGER RZR also boasts a true all-wheel drive (AWD) system that automatically engages when the rider needs more forward traction and reverts back to 2WD automatically when AWD is no longer needed.
Built with a patented design that places the engine behind the seat, RANGER RZR has the lowest center of gravity of all the sport side-by-sides for unmatched off-road responsiveness. Riders will find themselves sitting at least seven inches lower than they would in competitive side-by-side vehicles for unparalleled handling and ground hugging performance. For optimal handling on any terrain, RANGER RZR has nine inches of travel in the front, 9.5 inches in the rear and 10 inches of ground clearance due to its double A-arm front suspension with an exclusive, front anti-sway bar and a rolled independent rear suspension (IRS). For comfort, RANGER RZR also sports the best ergonomics in its class, including tilt steering, and adjustable hand rails and seats.
Powered by a liquid-cooled, even-firing Polaris Big Bore 800 Twin EFI engine, RANGER RZR is the fastest accelerating side-by-side with the highest horsepower in its class; accelerating to 35 MPH in four seconds, and topping out at 55 MPH. This power coupled with RANGER RZR’s unique design and smaller stature creates a vehicle that delivers razor sharp side-by-side performance.
RANGER RZR is no slouch when it comes handling the tough tasks. With a cargo bed rated for 300 lbs with 12 tie-down points, 1500 lb. towing capacity, under-hood storage and a myriad of PURE Polaris accessories including Lock & Ride, cabs and cargo systems, you have all the utility you need.
Offered in green and red, RANGER RZR will be available at Polaris dealerships in early summer, with a MSRP of $9,999 (US) and $13,999 (CAN).
