One of the biggest reasons for the 2" receiver on the Polaris is just the convenience of having all your recievers use the same bars/*****. Plus, its a lot stronger than the 1.25, is raised up higher for easier access and the bar sticks out farther. Its just a much nicer, stronger, more convenient setup.
My Mini van has a 1.25" Reese and its rated at 3500 lbs much more then any ATV can ever handle. A 2" is just heavier and larger then needed on a ATV I would think.
The largest ATVs only have a tow capacity of 1300 lbs well under the more compact size 1.25" receiver limit.
When your "not "towing I would rather have a lighter smaller 1.25" receiver and ball riding along on the back end then a much heavier and clumsier full size 2" set up especially if the ATV has a IRS rear end.

you know hitches are not good for only tow *****. 1.25 bike racks are hard to come by and more expensive than 2 inch, hitch carriers normally come 2 inch, many other accessories come in 2 inch and either not in 1.25 or more expensive. If a 1.25 suits you good but 2 inch still has its place. im glad my 04 ac 400 has a 2 inch or id put one on it. i just dont like 1.25 stuffs more expensive for them. i wanna find a 2 inch for the front so i can put a bike rack or cargo carrier up there when i need em.

Ah that front hitch is too high ill prob just do like I did on my ac300 and break the welder out and make one for it. I like having my winch behind the bumper though so im mostly done with a rear mount for my 400 that slides in the hitch. But it doesnt stick out farther than the tires, that was custom too.
