Baltimore, MD - Since the release of the Can-Am Commander Side-by-Side line in 2010, Can-Am has provided consumers with several option packages that offer different engine sizes, suspension packages and a variety of options. The manufacturer has raised the bar in the UTV market and we always enjoy being invited to press events to test out the latest units, but occasionally, we are given a Commander 1000 XT to test out for an extended period of time and that’s when the real fun starts for us.

Recently we were given the opportunity to check out the 2011 Can-Am Commander 1000XT Side-by-Side. We let our test rider, Kevin Hill, who works with Breezewood Proving Grounds and is an outdoor enthusiast, take the Commander back to his home and give it a work out. Hill logged over 200 hours on the machine in both work and recreational environments and put the Commander 1000XT to the test.

“I was impressed with the CanAm Commander 1000XT. It is a nice, solid machine and Can-Am has used a lot of well thought out ideas and put them into practical application on their units,” stated Kevin Hill.

The 2011 Can-Am Commander is plenty capable of work on the farm with its large dump bed with a 600lb carrying capacity. During our test, we were able to haul two standard size straw bales in the cargo bed at an angle, and the Commander's dump bed really comes in handy for quick & easy unloading of cargo

Can-Am is the only Side-by-Side manufacturer that offers a dual level cargo bed with a truck style tailgate, which is something that we really liked.

The Can-Am Commander features a large bed for storage along with an industry largest cargo box, which provides weather resistant storage

“On other machines, you have to lift cargo over the bed rails, to get it in and out of the bed, and that can be difficult if it is something heavy, but on the Commander you are able to drop the tailgate and slide in whatever you want and that makes it much easier,” said Hill. “I also really liked the under bed storage area. You can put your gear in there and it helps to keep it out of the elements and keep everything dry,” he added.
