Congratulations on the purchase! I rode the others as well and the Prowler had the highest top speed, pulled harder on the low end, has the lowest low range, comes with full instrumentation, had the most storage space, and I thought was by far the best looking. And on top of all that it was still about $500 less than the SE Rhino including the 3 year warranty. Did you get the XT? Here is a place that is just coming out with some performance parts for it http://www.speedwerx.com/ only place that I am aware of. Also www.hunterworks.com has quite a few accessories for them.

Enjoy!

Now wait a minute! Im not trying to start an arguement but there is no way the Prowler has more cargo room than the Ranger. How Big is your back bed and how much weight can it hold? Do you have a glove box? 3 seats? how fast does the prowler go. the new rangers do 50 and the others do 40-44. Hi and Lo in CVT?

The ranger bed can hold up to 1000lbs and its big enough to fit a 90cc quad in it. and did you try the 700cc? that does 50mph.



And, Rangers dont do this Laughing




But do look like this Razz


And This



And they stand out from the rest.

you're right the ranger does have a bigger bed, but isn't that what the ranger was made for, a farm ulitility vehicle? were the powler was made for sport. after test driving both the xp ranger and powler , the powler is much faster than the ranger, both low end and top speed, but that was only one consideration, the styling on the powler blows away the ranger, yes it does have a glove box and storage under the hood, also has 14" rims with 12" of wheel travel, yes it has high and low, plus the bucket seats offer lateral support. the prowler has 40hp the max by law.

well, what ever makes you happy. The ranger is built for farms and off road use. and it has around the same HP also. whatever makes you happy.


Congrats on the purchase Wink

I have done a lot of offroading with Rangers and Rhino's and what I have learned is that the Rangers Transmissions are a whole lot more reliable. I can't say much about the Prowlers, haven't seen them in action. The 4X4 on the fly is a lot more fun then the Rhino's stop and put into 4X4. I'm a bit bias'd towards the Polaris anyway, I have had snowmobiles and quads by Polaris and they have been pretty much bullet proof so I won't say anything bad about them til they proof me wrong. Just my two cents.
