Thanks. I need a good working machine that is trail ready as well. No racing, but good all around use. Plowing in the winter, good fun in the summer in the mountains. Looking for suggestions.

Here's my bike. I wish it had an odometer on cause the miles would be unbelievable. Love my 300's cause they just refuse to die!!!!

I was pulling my 2016 Polaris Ranger with my old 14 Silverado, and am looking forward to yanking it around in my new to me 14 LTZ Z71.

What size trailer is that? 570? 900? Do you trail ride the Ranger?

The trailer is a 5x8. I lengthened the back by the gate to accommodate the extra length of the Rangers Bed. The Ranger is a 570 Midsize with a 3500 lb winch. Yes we do, and it serves double duty around the house as well.

Thank you! How does it handle in the trails? The bench comfy?

Yes. Fairly comfy. It handles surprisingly well. I can say I spent over a year researching UTVs to get one that both functioned well on the trail, and around the home as a yard vehicle for under $10,000. The Ranger just stayed at the top of my list. I had an open cup of coffee in the cup holder. I drove over a few bumps that in anything else would have had me wearing it, but as far as I could see when I stopped, not drop was spilled.Over all, I could not be happier with the machine. It just does what I expected it to do, and does it easily.

Here it is at work cleaning the mess left in the sheds the previous owner left for us.

And here it is on the same trailer before I extended the gate back a foot.

Thanks! That $10,000 price point is where I like to stay also.

 

If I don't go ATV again, will be an Ace or Ranger.

Split the difference, and go with a RZR 570. You will thank me.

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
