  • 2005 Polaris Ranger 500cc 4x4
    By James (I am an Owner) on Sep 01, 2019

    I have owned this machine for 13 years. It is beyond a doubt the best machine I have ever owned, bar none. I have used it on the farm for everything from hauling fire wood to fencing. We have loaded up beyond capacity and ridden all over the south east mountains. South Carolina, North Carolina, West ...

    That's it. So Go enjoy Your Polaris Ranger and remember it is NOT a RZR. God bless

  • Owned since new
    By Chuck Reece (I am an Owner) on May 02, 2017

  • Great buggie
    By Dulci (I am an Owner) on Dec 13, 2015

    I have driven my Ranger 2 miles every day since I bought it in 2005. I use it for yard work, running my dogs, and getting around. We have changed the oil and now need new tires, but this vehicle is service friendly.

  • Nana's Red Toy
    By Debbie Artrip (I am an Owner) on Jun 04, 2013

    My Ranger has done everything I expected it to do, and more. It's a great work-horse hauling wood, dirt and grandkids.

    The only maintenance on this machine has been new tires.
