2010 Polaris Ranger RZR 4 Preview




Why??????

 

While I'd prefer the two seater, it does look better than any 4 person model out on the market. And it seems that's a growing market.

I'd really like to see a single seat model at 50-52" wide.

 

My thing is why not just by a Jeep or build a buggy???? ESP for $15.000!!!

 

Can't argue with you there. A decent used one that you don't mind so much getting scratched or dented.

Especially since stock it's over 60" wide. Sure it'll go some places a jeep won't, but neither will go on a 50" limit trail.

 

To me this thing makes about as much sense as a Ford Raptor. Just sayin!

 

Maybe it's just natural selection. As many people that flipped the sxs's, now you're just doubling the production.

Since the rzr does have a lower center of gravity compared to the Ranger's/Rhino's and others, I can see a lot of high centering in it's future.

Maybe a shovel is standard equipment?

 

If Dodge came out with that truck instead of Ford, you'd be all about it. The Raptor is one bad assed truck, and I'm a die hard Chevy guy.

 

Dodge has had that truck it's called a Power Wagon and it has twice capability the capacity of the Raptor. It can do ANYTHING the Raptor can do all while caring the Raptor on its back!

 

I am a long time SVT fan...I've owned multiple SVT Cobras...the Raptor missed the boat...jmo.

As for the RZR 4...I could see one attraction.....one day you take the whole family on a lesurely ride(if it would fit on the trail) the next day you and a buddy could be jumping dunes..BUT as mentioned...it is too wide, and looks like a high centering nightmare..,but both the low CG and width are needed for liability reasons I imagine. I bet they will sell most of them to the mud crowd...not too wide for a mud hole and they lift the crap out of them anyway...CG fixed lol.

 

With my experience with Chrysler, i wouldn't drive a crap wagon if you gave me one. If it had half the problems my Commander has had, it would still be an embarrassing POS.
