I Drive a New Can-am Commander XT 1000R Up a Mountain in the Snow: Can It Really Do It All? 

Agreed! Loving these videos TFL! Got my deposit down though, so I'm already sold. Just patiently waiting for delivery. (I lied, I am very impatient lol)

Having Elmer back

I have the same machine only its a 1 up. They are awesome! The 650 is plenty of power without being too hard on the belts 👌

@@ChrisMan280 yup, even with a passenger, no issues.

10600 km on a 2016 650 max xt.n still going strong.

@@Jil1A awesome

Vehicles like this are street legal in some smaller towns. So if you live in one of these towns, the price makes sense. It like having a more affordable Jeep.

They had a 5 seater side by side with 4 ft bed. For 14k I thought that wasn’t too bad

That's called inflation. And it's only going to get worse in the next few years.

@@Prairietrucker Next biden admin years ya mean

Thank you for watching.

You won't be disappointed. My wife just got one and she loves it

Agreed

I guess it's depends on what you want, Yamaha (which i love) has no where near the same machine as this whit the same purpose in mind.

The General 4/XP4 is not considered a “crew”. A “crew” is a 6 passenger unit.

CAVOK...........The XT-P model does come with "piggy back" shock suspension.

@@1gr8oil the XTP always has. It should, its the top of the line model and your are paying for it. Its almost $5000 more then the XT. My point is, all machines, even lower end ones, come with piggy back suspension them. The Commanders closest competitor, the Polaris General has much better suspension and yes, piggy back, on every trim level, including the lowest. I have never been a fan of Polaris ATV's, but they have come a long way. The General, in my opinion, is a much nicer machine that gives you more bang for your buck. Can Am needs to do better.

These things are light and nimble, you can make it damn near anywhere. I'm always shocked by where I can get w my Rzr even in 2 wheel drive (with adequate momentum). I know its steeper than it looks but that's a purpose built unit!

BOG GUM..............So why is it a "RED FLAG"? Those compartments can hold more things than a belt. And if you're referring to the belt as a "WEAK LINK", I have seen CANAM's with over 5,000 miles running on the same belt!!

@@1gr8oil Always carry an extra CVT belt (OR TWO!) on your trips so you can do a field-strip and replace. They say you can only do the CVT belt replacement in the garage BUT I have seen it done in-field with some portable collapsible ramps you carry in the bed, some strong and long tiedowns and a set of big rocks and trees to tie down the Can-Am securely. It takes about four hours to do PROPERLY in-field with the right tools! See this belt-change rips and tricks site and videos for the DEFENDER and the Can-Am Renegade, which will be fairly similar to the Defender procedures: Defender CVT Belt Change: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K4dIkOD7H44.html Renegade CVT Belt change: dirtwheelsmag.com/how-to-change-a-can-am-renegade-cvt-belt/ And of course don't believe anybody when they say it takes only an hour and a half to replace! There too many things to keep track of when you haven't done it very often -- It's a four hour+ job! v

@@1gr8oil Thank you @wayhe oweenie!😋🤭👍

@Bigmanbam44 You under estimate that which has been proven time and time again to be just as capable long before these toys were invented. ;). I am not a Jeep fanatic, but there are countless fanatics that will argue with you to death over this. lol

@@WW-wf8tu I don't know where you live but on my trail systems jeeps are absolutely not allowed.

Have you replaced the belt or turbo yet lol.

@@phantasmagoric3934 Dude I ride Hard & Fast... I've replaced a few Belts LOL but no issues at all with the Turbo or anything else. I'm super Anal about the maintenance on my Ride.

Thanks for letting us all know specially what you own. Very incite full post.
