Smaller Chassis, Bigger Heart
The new Polaris Ranger 800 has a chassis that is smaller than full size Rangers, making it easier to manoeuvre, park and store. But that doesn’t mean this Ranger is any less capable of getting the toughest jobs done.
At its heart is an 800 Twin Electronic Fuel Injection Engine with 50hp delivering big power in a midsize chassis. Big enough in fact to give you a 1,250 lb/566 kg of towing capacity to tow trailers and wheeled equipment with ease, and a top speeds of 55mph. Because you most probably need to get to the most inaccessible places the ground clearance is an impressive full 10” to keep the ride smooth and clear obstacles on rough terrain. All helped of course by the legendary Polaris front and Independent Rear Suspension with its generous 9” of travel and five-point adjustable preload at the back, so you can stiffen the suspension for heavy loads, and MacPherson Strut at the front with its long 8” of travel. On Demand True All-Wheel Drive is a bit of a mouthful but it’s what keeps you moving where others fear to tread, engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction, reverting back to 2WD when you don’t. You also get VersaTrac Mode in 2WD which unlocks the rear differential for easier, tighter turns without scuffing the grass.
When you need to carry stuff there’s a capacious dump box with Polaris Lock and Ride cargo system to accommodate hard-working accessories in seconds. Standard equipment includes a speedometer and instrument cluster with electronic fuel gauge and your creature comforts are catered for with ‘Best in Class’ ergonomics for outstanding driver and passenger comfort, extra legroom and easy slide-through cab design that lets two adults in and out quickly. As you would expect of Polaris the handling is predictable with the midsize chassis and lighter overall vehicle weight making it easier to negotiate turf, trails and rough terrain. Driving is believing and a Polaris dealer can arrange it.
