Default 500 Ranger crew

My daughter and son in law bought this about a month ago to ride on their property.

Nice! How does the 500 do with a full passenger load?

Not too bad with 4 adult's and 2-60 lb dog's in the back. It will get up to 35-40 mph easily but we only cruise at 15-20 mph most of the time anyway. The 800 engine would have ended up being overkill.

About 12 cubic feet... Was just wondering how practical a Ranger would be over a trailer. My trailer can carry about 20 cubic ft. up to the rim. I guess I'll stick with the ATV trailer for firewood gathering for now.

You could always fill the backseat with wood to. You know you just need a good excuse to get one. It would haul a lot more wood that way. Hehe.

Good idea. It's still a good ways off financially though.
