2026 Polaris® Ranger Crew XD 1500 NorthStar Premiun
NEW MOUNTAINEER EDITIONMountaineer Edition delivers 20% more low-end torque than standard XD 1500 for smooth uphill climbs and heavy-duty performance at high elevation.
Features may include:
- 110-hp ProStar 1500cc engine & STEELDRIVE transmission
- 3,500-lb. towing capacity & 1,500-lb. box capacity
- Factory-installed heating & air conditioning (HVAC) system
- Electronic cargo box lift
- Pro Series 6,000-lb. winch with synthetic rope, Auto Stop, rapid rope recovery and wireless remote
- 3.07 rear drive gear ratio
- 30" Kenda Cross Trail tires and 15" wheels
- Lock & Ride MAX Accessory Integration
- Designed with a lower gear ratio that delivers more low-end torque and limits top speed for smooth uphill climbs and steady handling in rocky, high-altitude terrain where every move counts.
- Built for confidence in steep, rugged terrain—delivering the torque and control needed for hauling heavy loads at elevation.
- Make your mark with signature badging and tinted windows on the RANGER XD 1500 Mountaineer—designed to keep the cab more comfortable when you're riding at elevation.
- Extreme duty doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on comfort. RANGER XD 1500 is designed to maximize comfort and convenience with the most spacious and premium cab we’ve ever built—and rides like a dream.
- We’ve increased interior space with 2” more leg room than our other full-size UTVs, plus easier entry and exit for tasks like working fence lines. Adjustable seating and a telescopic steering wheel let’s you find the perfect fit for your height and riding preferences.
- Contoured seating has added bolstering for more comfort. A new center flip-down seat transforms into an arm rest with added cupholders for more convenience.
- An industry-leading 12” suspension travel, the ultra smooth engagement and quiet operation of the STEELDRIVE transmission, and chassis improvements deliver the smoothest ride of any RANGER we’ve ever built. A longer wheelbase delivers better stability in rough terrain for confident handling.
