2013 Polaris Ranger® Crew® 800 EPS Blue Fire LE

I bought this 2013 le crew because my grandkids are getting too big( and numerous) to ride in my 2007 Rhino. It is all that and more! My wife and I love it as well. We have had it in the sand dunes at the beach and at an atv park on the river. This thing is sweet. My wife loves driving it due to ... the power steering. My grandkids love to drive it around on the deer lease as well. If it turns out to be as durable as my old Rhino I will be a happy camper. This thing is a beast of a workhorse as well. It will haul as many sacks of corn as you can stack in it and then some.

I currently own two Suzuki ATV's. Since I enjoy hunting but my son is getting up old enough to go with me, I decided to look into a side by side. I have never owned a Polaris but I decided to be open minded about the entire process. I am married, I have a son and daughter so I considered getting ... a bench seat for the utility bed of a regular side by side by my wife wanted two rows of seating for comfort. Obviously my greatest concern was the long wheel base of the Polaris Ranger Crew. I thought that the extreme wheel base would surely bottom out in much of the rough terrain I hunt in southern WV. I looked at the Kawasaki Teryx 4, the Honda Big Red and the Polaris RZR in addition to the Ranger Crew. I test drove the crew at the dealership buy I was still skeptical because I was on flat ground, etc. I have a cooworker who informed me about his son purchasing he Ranger Crew. He allowed me to come to his home and take the Ranger Crew out for my own test ride back in the woods. I was shocked and pleasantly suprised of how smooth the vehicle operated and its power. I took the UTV over huge ruts, boulders, ruts, and it never bottomed out or became unstable. My Suzuki Vinson would have struggled with a few of these places. Needless to say, I was sold. My kids and wife went with me on the test ride. We have now made a down payment on the Ranger Crew 800 eps. Another great thing about this side by side and others; they are very comparable in price to the larger bore atvs on the market that seat only one person. I realized I couldn't go wrong with the purchase.

First off, I am writing this review because quite frankly, there aren't a whole lot out there on this machine and I didn't get to read a whole lot before I bought mine. I compared this to the kawasaki mule 4010 trans and must say for what im using it for, there's no comparison. I bought this machine ... for a few reason. 1) I have an extremely long, curvy, and steep gravel driveway that I plow myself. 2) I like going to atv parks and playing in the mud and trails. My main concern when purchasing a new machine was my driveway. After driving the trans 4010 and the Polaris, there was no comparison on power and comfort. This is the first Polaris I have ever owned so I'm wasn't like a Polaris nut before this, I previously owned a kawasaki brute force 650 which I loved. The Polaris suspension is second to none, the comfort is second to none, power steering is a dream to steer this thing and the power was so much more than I expected. My wife has
