With a stiff chassis there are far less squeaks from the frame. It also allows the suspension to do a better job of soaking up the terrain. Polaris was also able to add more travel and ground clearance than any other previous RANGER SxS models. The 2013 Polaris RANGER XP 900 features an impressive ten inches of travel up front and twelve inches of ground clearance in the rear.
We did not experience any bottoming out in the 2013 Polaris RANGER XP 900 SxS, even through some of the rocky creek crossings at Bull Run Guest Ranch. The plush suspension did a great job of soaking up the rocky soil along many of the hillsides and in the creekbeds.

Electronic
Power Steering & longer wheel on the 2013 Polaris RANGER XP 900 SxS / UTV makes for one of the best handeling SxS in the Polaris RANGER Lineup |
Despite being 2.5 inches longer than the Polaris RANGER 800 SxS, the 2013 Polaris RANGER XP 900 has a longer wheelbase of 5 inches, thus increasing the overall handling. This coupled with electronic power steering makes a very stable machine.
Electronic Power Steering comes standard on the 2013 Polaris RANGER XP 900. This greatly reduces the effort it takes to steer the machine, especially under a heavy load. We found the EPS came in handy while navigating some Montana’s rocky trails. Without EPS we would have been be fighting the steering wheel, not to mention kickback from hitting larger rocks.

The 2013 Polaris RANGER XP 900 SxS / UTV would be right at home on the farm with a large cargo tilting bed, spacous cockpit, easy to install cab enclosure, on-demand 2WD to 4WD, large storage compartments, & a 10 gallon gas tank to keep you going all day |
Polaris Engineers wanted the 2013 Polaris RANGER SxS to be the most comfortable, smoothest riding, hardest working machines in its class. With many forward thinking engineers and designers Polaris did just that. Starting with an all-new molded cab frame, Polaris designed a lock-and-ride cab enclosure that one can install in a matter of minutes.

Polaris redesigned the cab frame to be able to integrate their Lock & Ride cab system which can be installed in minutes with out any tools |
We got a chance to check out the lock-and-ride cab for ourselves and we were truly impressed. We were able to install a full front windshield, roof, and rear window in less than two minutes without any tools!
Polaris is offering over 100 options and combinations of cab set ups and accessories that all install very quickly.

Polaris used an automotive tilting steering wheel & adjustable drivers seat |
A larger tailgate latch was used to better fit workers with thick gloves on |
In addition to the innovative cab design, there is also many other improvements that Polaris has made on the 2013 RANGER XP 900 including adjustable drivers seat, tilt steering wheel, center mounted dash indicators & controls.
