The current two-seat Kawasaki Ridge holds a special place in RideApart's hearts, as it represented one of the first UTV launches we attended since stating we'd be opening the doors to the rest of the powersports industry. And, like the Ridge itself, the gamble paid off as both it, and us, are doing reasonably well for ourselves within our respective confines.
But Kawasaki wants more for the Ridge, as well as its customers. Sentiments we, again, share. So undeterred by resting on laurels and already offering a pretty solid UTV, Team Green has teased an all-new Ridge is coming. Something that'll fit at least four people, instead of the current two arrangement.
Oh yes, a Kawasaki Ridge Crew is coming. And it's coming real soon.
Teased with a photo looking outward through the cabin's windshield, you can distinctly see that the Ridge in question has a second seating area, defined by a crossbar denoting the front seats from the rear. If it were anything else, you'd see the back opening that ends in the Ridge's bed. Plus, the name.
For those with trucks, you'll undoubtedly understand the name Crew to mean more than just a single front bench seat. Rather, it means you can bring along your entire crew with you, so the new Ridge Crew will likely seat at least four, possibly five, if Kawasaki makes a bench seat instead of just a 2+2 arrangement.
