I wanted to provide some feedback on my 2015 Polaris Ranger 570 crew. As for side by sides, I’m not new to them having owned a Kawasaki Mule 610, Polaris Ranger 800 and Polaris Ranger 570. I really enjoyed the Polaris Ranger 800, great power, smooth and just wanted the extra carrying capacity and narrow stance given my property. To address those issues, I purchased a 2014 Polaris Ranger 570 crew, sage green and enjoyed the machine greatly. A few months ago, I had the chance to drive a EPS unit and was sold given my woods/conditions and thus traded the 2014 in for a 2015 Polaris Ranger 570 crew. In my view, there are some nice improvements on the 2015 Polaris Ranger crew. 1) As expected, I enjoy the EPS unit and would not envision going back to a non-power steering unit again, a very nice feature to experience in long trail riding; 2) The roll bar design/frame is well designed and look forward to adding doors to the unit; 3) The 2014 was NOT underpowered, but the 2015 (perhaps the dual overhead cam addition?) is smoother and noticeably more responsive; 4) Added storage under the rear seat is nice, but the plastic box should not be placed over the battery for it would be a challenge to deal with a battery issue on the 2015 vs. 2014 and 5) Like the 2014, the new one is incredibly fuel efficient and that’s important to me on some of our all day riding with no need to carry additional fuel while riding. I believe Polaris nailed this unit with great power, available sizes (full or midsize) and overall relative value.
