The new 2021 Polaris GENERAL vs RZR - Here’s Which One I Would Buy and Why! 

Nice review Andre... I prefer the General and I LOVE than tan color...

I couldn't stop laughing at "I don't want the entire vehicle covered in leaves"

I think Polaris should put the powerful 180HP engine in the General as an option..That would be AWESOME!!

I am still amazed at how expensive these units have become. There was a time when new 4x4 quads were under $10,000 for top of the line units. I miss those days

I have a 2019 Polaris General. I just hit over 3700 miles. Zero issues so far! Hopefully it stays that way.

Great review guys both the general and RzR are beasts!! Job well done 👍

I have been subscribed to this channel for a while now and it has inspired me to begin one of my own the content and the editing done are an encouragement each and every day. I strive to increase my channel to be as good as this one!

I have a stock 2019 General . Main use hunting in east and west Texas. Travel the mountain passes in Colorado. I have pounded this General in every terrain imaginable. Has never let me down.

Bull's-eye TFL, cool video! Thanks Andre, Hope to see more like this. Long live Andre! Long live TFL! Long live TFL's Podcast! Cheers! Dan Galuber

Great video man. Thanks for the info.

Very nice video..thank you for posting.

Your video was so helpful thank you for sharing

You forget to mention that Tan RZR is a special edition rock and trail. Special low gear reduction for crawling, six point retractable harness, full under body skid winch high clearance a arms strengthened shafts. I have one with near 4000 miles in tough terrian never had any issues great machine.

I have a rzr turbo s and love it but that tan General 4 door is beautiful.

Went with the General!!! Got lucky with the tan color as well! We LOVE it!!!

Thanks - that did help! I'm going for a General!

Thanks sir. This did help me decide. Speed is not the preference. Utility is what I'm interested in and the Pursuit provides that along with Polaris' fun. Thanks again.

I had a rzr 1000 I loved it. But I hunt in the mountains of Canada’s Yukon. So I now have a General. It is a great machine for hauling all of my gear and game. And is still plenty of fun for spirited or challenging trails.

Nice video!

Great info and I don’t want leaves all over mine either

GENERAL, fully enclosed cab that seals up better than a RZR. Seats are better too, and not a skinny / narrow seat like the RZR. I didn't realize the General had a tilt wheel. Thanks for showing that. I had a RZR, it only lasted 6 months before I sold it. I hated the ergonomics in it. I'm only 5'9", but there just wasn't enough leg room. I always felt cramped for leg space. Andre - you'd be cramped too based on how tall you are. At the end of the video I noticed how little legroom you had in the RZR.

We typically sumarize this discussion with, "Do you want a truck-style rig, or a buggy-style rig?" Truck and Buggy are fairly applicable terms in this case.

I have a 2 seat tan general with Ride Command and Stage 4 rockford system, it's awesome!

Thanks for reviewing these two machines. My dilemma is these exact two machines. What to do, what to do. LOL

"There is a huge difference from all the way soft to all the way hard"....yea u ain't kidding man😂😂

Great review. I'm leaning towards the general!

They should have stayed with fox shocks and put the live valve set up on it! I have an 18 general 4 with the fox and love the ride.

Nice! personally, i bought a ranger for mudding. Read they are pretty damn good at it and pulled the plug lol.

I had a deposit on the 2021 Rmax then I had to go get some items for my dirt bike at another store and looked at the General. The doors, closure system and storage on the General along with the vast amount of accessories that are available for the General had me change my mind on the Yamaha. I already own the Yamaha Viking and it’s a great machine for its intended use. I’ve seen all the horror stories about Polaris but I believe if you take care of your machine it’ll take care of you so that’s what I’ll do. I owned a Victory Cross Country Tour street bike made by Polaris for six years and it was an awesome machine.not one problem what so ever. I picked up my General last week and took it out for a break in ride. Was hoping for a couple inches of frozen snow on the road but ended up in a muddy mess almost got stuck towing the General had to take it off the trailer to try and get turned around and get the hell out of there and made it. Then got 30 miles on the General in not too bad of conditions and it was a pleasure to drive compared to the Rmax I test drove. My 2 cents worth.

just recently picked up a 2019 General Ride Command edition and have to say it is fun out in the New Mexico desert and up in the mountain trails. plus it has more leg room IMO

Powerful machines!

I am looking at getting a general, How are you like it so far? I have a RZR and a Pro already but need something to follow and carry supplies.

I'll stick with the old fashion Polaris Ranger Browning Edition. It does everything on the trail and you can load your deer or your hog and still carry materials to work on your deer stand or duck blind. Never had any problems with the belt drive.

Had a rzr 900 for some years, made the trade up to a general xp1000. The things I miss most about my rzr would be the sportier more bucket/racing style seat, the general feels a lot more like riding in a golf cart or like a ranger/utility type ride. I also miss the suicide doors, for some reason they are just more practical for getting into and out of the rig. Time will tell but so far it seems to be just as capable on the trails as the rzr in terms of handling and it's ability to take a beating

Polaris gets a lot of crap but if people would take care of their machines it would be a different story. Plus there's way more of them out there. If you're riding through mud and water you need to grease the damn thing after you wash it and some people don't even wash the thing then cry the wheel bearing went out.

OK...is it possible to buy the General, and have them add the turbo and other performance parts; getting the best of both worlds for the price of a RZT turbo? Example; you would save on tires because the General already has the better tiress.

I was out on the trails this weekend and the newer RZR power is boarding on too much (obnoxious in the wrong hands) , trails are becoming race tracks. Something else I see the PA DCNR has started rolling out is the placement of hefty boulders meant to allow 58" wide SxS's my 62" just barely fit and I risked getting stuck. Sorry for the spoiler alert but I don't think larger rides are worth buying and being denied entry.

Great video, I wish they would put the 168 turbo in the General XP

Man can’t believe how much people are willing to pay for a toy. These cost as much as a full blown car and even some trucks and most the people in my neighborhood don’t use em for anything else besides driving down to Maverik to pickup a 32oz on the weekends

General all day, after 3 Rangers ,the General XP1000 is my next machine

What is the travel difference in the suspension,will I have a rougher ride in the general?

WHEN WILL POLARIS MAKE A HIGHLIFTER GENERAL?!!!!

The trailing arm suspension on the rzr is far superior for offering a good ride. A Arms just can't compete with a trailing arm setup if ride quality is important to you

Never said which one you would buy lol.

LOL Weird I am getting a Lawyer's Ad about how suing RZR for products defects and fire hazards

GOOD VIDEO I"LL TAKE THE GENERAL GOOD FOR WORK AND PLAY

这辆褐色的GENERAL后面“露天车厢”也太可爱了。搞到我已心虚虚，这也想要买。在此想问，我可以买不少过十辆POLARIS XP RANGER自己一个人驾驶的啦？吗？《不要选黑/灰的颜色。发亮蓝色/发亮青色/发亮巧克力色~也不错。》

Just curious, is there any reason TFL never reviews any Textron/Arctic Cat products? Have you contacted them and they don't respond??

My parents already have a General. So I'm gonna get the RZR probably sometime next year.

I was the number 1 dealership in the USA for over 15 years and they closed my store for commenting against BLM this year . So did Honda after 52 years and Harley-Davidson after 65 years . I will tell you Polaris is not a reliable unit we worked on them constantly and recalls all the time . Best machine made is Yamaha Polaris is junk

Justify it to my wife? I can always just get a new wife it’s probably easier

my new rzr under 2000 mile the non greasable u-joints in driveshaft shot, not happy, when new 500 mile it took 24 pumps of grease in the wheel bearings..$23,000 and crap like this...

The ranger trail boss edition needs the horse power of rzr and I’ll be sold.

It should be noted that the general door has a seal to stop water from coming in while in deep water wich the rzr does not

This is the choice I'm up against. General "Hunting Edition" or XP pro 1000 base model. I have a farm but also want to go nuts up in the trails. Fun or Work. Hard decision.

DEMAND! When demand is high, price is even higher! Simple economics!

These are two different vehicles with two completely different purposes in mind. Comparisons should be General vs Commander vs Rmax.

Why would you show all the options of the higher end general and not talk about all the options on the rzr 1000 trail and rocks .

Yamaha RMAX. Popos quality control is the worst in the business.

Zabawka dla bogatych szlak mnie trafia że nigdy takiego nie będę miał 😎

So it’s like a ranger rzr hybrid?

My family jus bought a 2021 general xp and it was 27gs that guy must be smoking something

When are you gonna get some can ams on there

Do generals still blow up the rear diff that is part on the transmission at 1200 miles that costs 4k to fix? I would avoid Polaris at any cost, check out the rmax or go the can am route. You get what you pay for with popo

Yamaha wolverine r max 1000 for me!

You should be comparing four seater to four seater.

For that price I want blinkers and road legal!

The general is a good machine

Meanwhile I'm perfectly happy driving a Coleman UTV 400 up and down the beach.

Guns aren't only for hunting!

How's this stack up to the new Yamaha rmax 1000

Wouldn’t a Polaris ranger be better than both of those for hunting?

You didn't say which you would buy....I have a RZR 900 and a 1000 general. I don't race and the general will easily keep up with my RZR and has so many more uses. I like the built in radio (also plays USB) and for me it's a no brainer. General all the way.

In general the General is quite a general General. Is all I heard

Did he every say which one he would buy and why?

General vs RZR? That's an easy choice. Neither. Can't get excited about FCA-level quality. The tough choice is now between the Talon or Wolverine RMAX.

"There's a huge difference between all the way soft and all the way hard" That's what she said

7:11 thats a 4 point seatbelt i belive the 6 point doesn't exist.

I found that a little unfair... this guy presents the Polaris General clean enough for me to eat my lunch off the bumper by the RZR so caked in mud I don't know what color it is. It might have been more fair to wash the RZR off before you trash it as inferior to the General.

I rather have both

How do you guys afford these expensive toys?

the razor has more horse though.

Hello :) how many km before the engine die ?

I need 200% fun

I hear the transmissions suck on polaris.

Why does everyone say razor? It says RZR.

these are nice, but hard to justify over a real truck haha damn. good thing I'm poor and cant afford either. i don't have to make these decisions.

There is a easy way to pick RZR is made for fun expert offroading to do a lot of trails speed power and stunts you pick that or General is made for also 50% fun but its basically like he said a smaller truck type its made for work sure its not that fast but it is strong to carry a lot of stuff its for ya know work almoust as a smaller tractor for farming soo you pick that

Can’t wait to see a real sxs like an x3

Your choice was obvious. One is setting there looking like it just came off the trail, the other looks like it's a trailer queen headed to a car show.

Listen if you want work and play go the general but for only play go rzr

I'll stick with an old Jeep, that I can also drive on the highway, legally.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This channel is for people who have NO idea about mechanics of any kind NOR do they know anything about sxs.

If all of you wouldn't keep refinancing your houses to get crap you can't afford $20.000+ thousand to drive in mud

Neither! Having a new general I know that' it's a poorly made piece of crap. Spends its time at the dealership being fixed mostly. Awful clutches awful service. No compensation. I'll never buy another polaris

Do yourself a favor, get a Yamaha or Honda, unless you like taking it back to the dealer a lot !

Would like to get a John Deere HPX615E Work Series Utility Vehicle ....Starting at: $11,369.00 USD

Looks like Yamaha R MAX it is.
