I've been waiting to drive the Polaris Xpedition side-by-side for years now, as when it first debuted, complete with a rooftop tent, it beat me to the punch with my own Can-Am X3 overlanding build by about two weeks. Yet, while my rig was slapped together with a menagerie of parts, the Xpedition was something with a factory stamp of approval, and came complete with a warranty and the sort of engineering you'd expect from an OEM.
Years, however, went by from the Xpedition's original launch until today, but still I yearned to drive the Polaris rig. And the spec sheet just, supposedly, got better and better with each year. More creature comforts, more capability, more everything. Folks I met would go on and on about how good the UTV was, and how it "Could absolutely replace your truck!" It was the first true overlanding side-by-side. And you could even get one with a rooftop tent!
