2009 brings the most significant product launch in Polaris RANGER history with the introduction of the next generation RANGER utility vehicles.

The new models include the re-designed RANGER 4x4 and RANGER XP and the all-new, heavy duty RANGER HD.

The new RANGERs were redesigned with heavy-duty, front end protection including the most-armored front end ever designed for the protection of critical components and a redesigned bumper for added durability. Other features include 50 percent easier steering, 46 percent more dash storage than the competition, and more seat and leg space, reoriented gas and brake pedal, new angled-back seat, relocated brake lever for operation inside and outside of the vehicle and a redesigned steering wheel with standard tilt steering.

The new RANGERs include an exclusive, Dual A-arm, motion ratio and preload suspension adjustment. The new suspension allows for the maintenance of ground clearance and suspension travel when carrying heavier loads and using heavy accessories, and easy widening of vehicle for recreational purposes. It also reduces feedback into the steering wheel over bumps giving the operator a smoother ride while working.

For heavy-duty work applications, Polaris also is introducing RANGER HD which has the
new RANGER features plus an exclusive Self-Leveling Suspension and Variable Assist Power Steering.

To complement the new RANGERs’ exclusive, dual A-arm suspension, the RANGER HD
features the first-ever Self-Leveling Suspension on a utility vehicle. The exclusive Nivomat® shocks provide near-full suspension with maximum loads resulting in the highest loaded ground clearance of any side-by-side. The shocks automatically adjust for the weight of the load providing an optimal ride when fully-loaded and prevent rear sag when towing.

For easier steering, RANGER HD also features power steering with exclusive Variable
Assist. RANGER HD’s power steering allows for one-finger steering at low speeds and eliminates feedback at high speeds so the operator can work longer and enjoy the ride. The system is perfect for plowing and as well as PURE Polaris’ new BOSS® Lift & Carry System that attaches to the front of the RANGER HD and can lift and carry up to 500 lbs.
