Was at the dealer today and they were tryin to sell me a 03 trailboss for 3800 before all the bs fees. Would this 2 stroke be ok in slow technical trail conditions? It is new.

 

I can tell yuo that the 03 Trailboss is a 4 stroke. It is a 330 4 stroke. They have not made the 2 stroke Trailboss since 97-98. The Trailblazer is a 250 2 stroke. The 250 brand new is 3400. The 330 trailboss is 3800 new. So if he is trying to sell you a quad then I think it is the Trailboss. I have a highly moded 250 Trailblazer and an 04 Trailboss. I love the trailboss on the trails. Very comfortable, fast enough and it has racks.

 

What color is the quad that he is showing you?

 

If it's an 03 Boss, you should get a lot better price than that. A new 05 MSRP is 3799. I can't remember for sure, but it seems like the 03 sticker price was around 3500. If it turns out the be the Blazer, I walked out paying 3100(OTD) including some extra stuff I had them throw in. They're both fine on the trail, but the Boss is a lot more comfortable.

 

it says 400 on it, chain drive. full price was 4999 this place is always high priced on everything, they want 7400 for a 700 kfx before the BS stuff, and wont deal with you either, I just look at their stuff. It is water cooled. It looks very similar to a scrambler. I went to the polaris site and it not listed theire either! I guess if it doesn't exist then parts for it don't either. Thanks guys, glad I checked in here first.

 

Knowing now that it's a 400 and not a 250, that would make a difference. MSRP for the 400 is 4799. but NADA shows high retail of 3499 for a used one. They stopped making the 400 in 2003, and it's a good quad with lots of potential. Still would think they take a little less. They've been paying inventory tax on this thing for 2 years now, make them an offer and see what they do. By the way, it will run circles around the Trail Boss.

 

If it is a 2 stroke it will do fine crawling at slow speeds. The 6 X 6's and other 4wheelers used to be powered by a 2 stroke that was approximately 370 cc's. The motor rips. I used to have a Sportsman 4 x 4 with that motor in a 1996 model and I could pull wheelies from a standing start. It was wonderful crawling thru mud as well. The only negative about that motor was like any 2 stroke it did not like to idle for a long time and it liked drinking gas.

 

you can pick up a used 330 trial boss for like 2600 locally here.. that woudl be a 2004 used over the summer..


my 88 250 trail boss rips up the trails.. and i'm a big guy.. 6'5 300lbs.. If it can hall my large butt around it should fit yorus fine!
