Polaris' Ranger side-by-side platform is one of the most well-known, most beloved side-by-sides in the industry. It's why while most other platforms are shrinking in their lineup sizes, the Ranger is actually growing, as many folks utilize them to the fullest extent of their capabilities.
I, myself, just had a Ranger XD 1500 Northstar in my possession to take mule deer hunting here in Utah. And while I didn't get one during the time I had the Ranger in my care—it happened like a week or so after I returned it to Polaris—I found it to be a helluva machine to tool around and abuse in the woods.
But not everything is sunshine and daisies for Polaris' Ranger, as the company is recalling a good amount of the UTVs right now, after a potential for a fire hazard was discovered. And customers are being told that they should park their vehicles outside until they can get them to an authorized dealer for inspection and repair.
