I haven't had the chance to ride either machine but common sence tells me that the faster one would be smaller, weigh less, and have more power.

Does the Ranger weigh less? Does the Ranger have a more powerful engine? Hp or torque?

In my area there is no place to ride such a beast non the less drive it at WOT.

they are mere inches wider than a rhino, like 5 or 6. the ranger puts more power down in hp and tq.

they both do well in the sand. like the diff between a trx450r and a yzf450....same stinkin thing.

why didn't i get the rhino??? for 1, the seating config. i needed to seat three people stock, not dump in another 2-4 grand with seats and a cage in the back, and get rid of my bed.

the only diff is the aftermarket ,which rhino has cornered hands down.

i am not ashamed of my ranger in the sand. i was actually surprised by it

I really can't believe how many people say that their sideXside is faster than someone else's in a straight line drag. WHO CARES??? I would like to know how many people bought their sideXside to drag race? I know I didn't.

but that is the funny thing about posts from the rhinos they say how narrow there rhino is and how easy it turns


when the irony to this is that a ranger has a smaller turning radius and the rhinos that get larger then stock tires and add wheel spacers are making it about the same width as the ranger


so when people are preaching mines better because I can go into tighter trails (ok, so) I didnt buy mine to find small trails to see if I fit. most of the trails rangers dont fit on are also posted no UTVS which means even if you can fit you are not supposed to.

so instead of us fighting over mine is better because we need to team up and have them make and maintain more sxs friendly trails( Dont you think?)

I read through this post with some amusement... Mines faster, mines bigger, mines turns better, yours is heavier, ya well yours is uglier!!! I don't own a sidexside because they don't interest me. I own a souped up 4x4 that can do everything adequately enough for me and go straight really really fast, and yet it's not even the best as that. But Ramsfan is right, can't we all just get a long.

thanks, we all got what we got for our own reasons but we all have to agree there are to many people out there trying to take what we love to do away from us and if we mess around with each other on stuff that is fine but we have to take a stand on our sport and keep the trails open and work for more and better trail management.

it shouldnt matter whether we drive a mx, utv, atv, atc, jeep, or even a suzuki [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You can find this in every forum. "mine is faster than yours". It will be between sport quads, kids quads, utes, difference in 4X4 systems, differentials, tires! Just about ANYTHING!LOL!

After-all, it's the AMERICAN WAY!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] "My grass is greener than yours, my house is bigger than yours, my wife/job/CAR/ TRUCK is better than yours."

It's just the American way bro!


Pretty soon the debate will be about what language is better! (And you might want to brush-up on your Spanish!LOL)


The new American Way! Drive foreign autos and speak Spanish!................now here's something to debate about! LOL!

They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are all sweet rides. It is just a matter of different flavors for different people's tastes. I looked at Rhinos, Rangers and Prowlers. I ended up getting a Rhino, for me it was perfect. The Ranger ended up not being what I was looking for, but it's still an amazing and capable machine. There are things that it will do much better than my Rhino. My Rhino will run circles around it in other aspects and those just happen to be the ones that were important to me. Competition is good, don't get me wrong. I just think that some of this "mine is better than yours" talk is plain old silly! Drive what you like and let others do the same (in peace).
