By Far: The New Polaris XPedition Is the BEST Winter Off-Roader! 

I'm with you. I could buy a full set of professional tools, a lift, a welder, learn to weld and build my own. With a real engine and transmission.

A samauri is a real Billy goat for sure.

Yeah, that's Jeep Rubicon money right there.

Real engine? It’s got a crank shaft, 2 cylinders, stupid power and it revs to like 8500. This is the most idiotic comment I’ve ever seen. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

@@Austinandjuleshonest question though, why not buy a jeep rubicon if we’re talking $50k

@@Kaiser333333 a jeep is not going to be able to get through stuff nearly as fast or got on tight trails your not going ti be jumping a jeep at 50mph

@@Austinandjulesand will tear up in a few thousand miles/hundred hours like my 2020 ranger. Japanese machines will be my only purchases from now on.

Right. People are buying them up like crazy. That's what's mind boggling to me

Because we can afford it, and it's purposely built to take you places that aren't meant for heavy vehicles like Jeeps.

@@mjareacts2731 Because you can afford it? Anyone can afford one of these with the financing options 😆

$50,000 and I have sleep in a tent on the roof of my Polaris in winter and shit in a bucket?

😂

@@NWI_Steel A friend rents Polaris ATVs and Slingshots (Polaris Adventure.) I've put 500 miles on a Slingshot and had a lot of fun. The ATV rubber band drive is a maintenance headache.

Nothing wrong with the CVT, plenty of people can go 3k before changing a belt which is %40 longer than a Nissan CVT haha

@@joshc606 Bull. As I wrote I personally know a Polaris Adventure provider. He has a new fleet of about 30 ATVs every year. I'm pretty sure most of them don't make it through the summer rental season without a belt replacement. Which is still longer than a Nissan CVT.

Yeah could you imagine paying that much for something so unrefined. The driving experience between the loud engine and exhaust and the garbage CVT is atrocious. Not to mention everything vibrating and rattling. No thanks.

I have one, and it sounds no different than the dune runners. Look in person it's not as loud as it sounds in this video with the amplified microphones, and instead of going off of a video why don't you go drive one yourself.

@@phild9813 I have found ALL of the SxS pretty loud BUT you can get add-on mods and enclosures to quiet them down. In terms of pricing NEW Can-Am Defenders are around $16,000 and go on up from there to the $30,000+ range so the Polaris is on par with the Can-Am Defenders. The thing though, is that a 1990's-era B-series (i.e.B200) Mazda compact truck (i.e. which is a Mazda modded Ford Ranger!) is now only around $4500 used so I could mod it to high heaven with 4x4 parts and M/T tires and it would carry more and be more comfortable while still being able to go on the more narrow trails. And when Mazda OEM'ed the Ford Ranger, they added some extras that increased reliability and comfort so that is your best best for getting Can-Am Defender ability at a much cheaper price! Those Mazda compact trucks sure do run like tanks! They go and go like forever! V

I didn't know glamping includes the opportunity to shit in a bucket.

It's not legal to hunt from a vehicle, is it?

@@LeesChannel No, it isn't. You can drive to your prey but you can't shoot from the vehicle. The OP is absolutely correct. You have to be quiet as you approach the animal.

Yea!

Andre has something to lose. However, I don't think Roman needs a helmet.

@@jimjones-pz1tt :)

It's on loan from Polaris so they have to play the game. In the real world I have worn a helmet in my Can Am exactly zero times. Your milage will likely be the same.....

It wasn't long ago people were running around with face diapers.. you probably wore one too, why you surprised

boggling makes you think why they still sell at those prices😵😳🥶

Crazy that people buy these at those prices. Will be lucky to get 20k miles out of that engine, meanwhile 200k out of a jeep wrangler pentastar

Or for people with FU money

Very loud!!!!!!!

There some 3rd party companies that do the headlight and safety bumper mods and backup camera requirements such that these Polaris Expeditions and Can-Am Defenders are STREET LEGAL in all 50 states and all Canadian Privinces! They even do the federal crash tests and road tests that will certify this class of vehicle as being 60+ MPH highway-safe and legal! V

If you hate yourself, probably.

It's junk broo expensive junk!😵🥴😵‍💫😂

TFL needs to run that off road course everyday for one hour a day. I'll bet the transmission wouldn't last a month. Come on, TFL! Let's see if the Expedition can survive a mere 30 hours on your off road course.

We have had several Rangers over the last 14 years as farm/ranch vehicles and have never had one in the shop for anything but routine maintenance. FWIW

The machine's a press vehicle, on loan from Polaris, who insists that helmets need to be worn at all times. TFL has no say in the matter.

Safety

but it has all the features of a truck so why the helmet... @@Mr-pn2eh

​@Johno530 safety Plus that sounds like a you problem

They (I think it was Nathan) mentioned in the first video about this thing that it's a loaner from the manufacturer, and they're picky about the helmet use. All I know is that I'm not about to pay through the nose for the doors, etc, just to wear a helmet. Maybe if you're doing goofy things likely to risk a roll over, it would be different.

Polaris requires the helmet, per previous video.

When I think of motor boating, I think of my girlfriend.

Roman won't drive anthing that doesn't have a leather wrapped steering wheel.

Maybe but does it have all the amenities?

@@joshc606 I has heat, air, power front windows, better sound insulation and a Rotax engine. Spend another $4k for an Audioformz roof and you are still under $40k.

​@@joshc606it has power windows, hear, a/c, and now a front locker. It has all of the amenities, except for the screen. It also seats six.

​@@joshc606I also watched several videos where the cab is much quieter and sealed better for dust/water.

You're amazing 👏

What if you already have a 4x4 truck, or 2.. and you don't want 3. Instead, you want a vehicle that can take you farther, and it can also run 45 mph down a logging road into the woods with all your gear for weekend
