1000CC RECREATION UTVS UNDER $16,000

POLARIS RANGER 1000

There are three versions of the Polaris Ranger 1000. All are more affordable than the Ranger XP 1000 models, but only the base 1000 is under $16,000. A 61-horsepower, four-valve, 999cc, single-overhead-cam, two-valve-per-cylinder inline twin supplies the power. With 55 pound-feet of torque at low revs, this 1000 is smooth and relaxed at the engine speeds recreation utility UTV drivers typically use. The transmission’s clutching provides predictable throttle response and very smooth engagement right off idle, just what you want on challenging trails and in precise maneuvers when doing chores.

The base Ranger 1000 has steel wheels, unpainted bodywork and no power steering. The Ranger 1000 EPS is a big jump up from the $15,000 mark at $16,499.
