I know where you can get a 22 rmax xtr with 200 miles on it... All stock except for cab enclosure and lights.
It's warm, it's loud above 30, but it has 100 hp and scoots out

I have a John Deere at the house and a Ranger at the camp in MS. I replaced a Polaris with a Mule in Bama and my buddy has one we use in Texas. I’ll replace the other Polaris with a Mule too eventually.
I like the John Deere at the house to tool around in, but I’m not taking it through any bogs. The Mules blow the Polaris out the water. Good ground clearance, great ride, great power, relatively no issues.

I can't believe there is a market for all of these super expensive sxs. Blows my mind.

All the majors are currently making very solid and reliable machines: Polaris, Can-AM, Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha.
They all have their quirks and pros/cons.
Currently have a Polaris Ranger 800 with 6000 miles and it's been extremely reliable for me. I'd definitley buy another Polaris from this experience.
Considering the Pioneer 1000-5 to have the flip up rear seats, but I think they're over priced and the reliability of the DCT isn't proven long term yet.

I go through a Polaris ranger on the farm about every 4 years. It goes through hell. Got a 2012 that we have to be careful with but still gets it done. Replaced clutch a couple times.

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. I’d recommend you test drive some and get the one you like best.

I’ve always preferred Honda machines, but recently I’ve been educated on Can Ams. Is that the way to go? Seems like Polaris are constantly being resold but I rarely ever see Hondas or can am being listed on Craigslist.
Refer to my first comment. I have a Honda and a Polaris. They are both super reliable but my Polaris has been a little more reliable (dual clutch Honda gearbox sticks sometimes). I test drove a can am HD-10 and it was pure garbage and was jerky to accelerate and not damped properly (the throttle and ECM and clutch).
The reason you see Polaris in the classified is they are by far more popular than all the other brands combined. It’s the sheer number of them.

Also curious about the Mule
I know people that love them. Also know one guy who had six of them and they all were pieces of shite breaking down all the time.
Honestly, pick the one you like the best and maintain it by the book and you should be fine. And if not, fix it or sell it.

Can am XMr….the best option for the duck fields.

My good friend is in a club in the spillway and he uses a can am commander to get around, and most other people in his club use can am side by sides.
I don’t own a side by side, but I had an outlander 650 for the past 6 years that never gave me any problems at all. I just upgraded this year to an outlander xtp 1000. I feel like can am gets a lot of hate, but honestly I love them. This is my third one.

I have a 2020 Honda 1000-5, it's ok, but if I had to do it over again, I look closely at the canned ham.

One major problem with Can AM. No one works on em, except for dealerships. You can find a "Polaris" mechanic every 30 miles in South Louisiana. I know of exactly one guy who works on Can Ams in all of Louisana, and he charges like it too.

I had a can am outlander once. Had a little issue, brought it to a buddy who does small engines. He told me to never bring it back

It looks very similar, almost identical actually, to a ranger xp. Is the idea just that kawa can make a better ranger?

Two things:
You picked the limited rather than a base which is like 12k cheaper.
I buy enough toys that the quote I got for that limited was 28.

Still too damned much at 28 though. I'm looking for a diesel suzuki sidekick currently. I found one with the bigger VW diesel, but it almost immediately sold.

If you want AC and heat in a sxs, it’s a $10K option. Not my cup of tea but to each own.
Beyond that, $20K isn’t what it used to be. Y’all can roll your eyes but I drove by a 21’ bay boat yesterday with $80K on the sticker. shite is expensive these days.
