Tomas. Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 That thing is sweet. I saw this at the sled show this year. Front and rear cameras, NAV, Bluetooth, fancy speakers, and what I loved was the plow setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 It is crazy what they put into these things now. Also it is crazy the price of the higher end models. The RZR turbo with a few options is close to $30,000 cad up here. That is pants-on-head retarded lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 15, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 15, 2019 It would be a tough decision who would go first....my ranger or my wife. J/K. Today's UTV's are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but a $18K 1000 xp with ps seems a better deal than a $14K 850 that one person can ride on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 We decided to downsize lol. I've always had to buy two of everything so now it's one sxs and a 2-up sled lol. Probably could've bought 2 sleds/atvs for what I've got tied up but this will definately be the last sled for us. I still have 2 boats lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rump-rider Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Nice setup. The General is an awesome machine. Perfect blend of the rzr and ranger. But they are close to 20k without the full cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The heater,cab enclosure and glass window for mine would be around another $5K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis and Butt-Head Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 only 500cc ? I think I would get bored with it pretty quickly, I think I would have gone with ranger XP 900, I think the 900 powerplant is around 100 hp. the 500 is like 42 HP close to sportsman 570 #'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
