2010 Polaris Ranger 400 EV UTV

2010 Polaris Ranger 400 & Ranger EV UTV Test Ride Review
::Continued::

The target market for these Rangers makes it very likely they will be used by consumers with small acreages, municipalities in city parks or in environmentally sensitive areas. In an effort to increase their usefulness in these areas, Polaris equipped both of them with Versa Trac Turf Mode. With the simple flip of a switch the rear differential can be unlocked allowing the rear wheel to spin at different speeds lessening the damage done to soft terrain like grass, which is perfect for riding around the yard or doing lawn maintenance with the Ranger.

The Polaris Ranger 400 dash (above left) is fairly simple with the ignition key, hour meter, choke, handle shifter along with an AWD & 2WD switch, and the Ranger EV (above right) is fairly similar with a few changes. the shifter is replaced with a brake lever and ofcourse their isn't a choke, but there are several more switches with high & low range, forward & reverse, 3 way drive mode swtich, along with battery meters.

When the terrain becomes more challenging the Ranger 400 and Ranger EV are both equipped with Polaris’s On Demand True 4x4. This four wheel drive system engages both front wheels when the slip of just two tire lugs on the rear tires is sensed providing full power at all four wheels.

The one thing the we really like about Polaris Ranger UTVs is their extremely comfortable seat belts with 2" comfort straps, which absorb those small bumps you will encounter on any trail ride with out jerking on your shoulder like on some other manufacturer models.
For 2010 all the Polaris UTV models including the Ranger 400 and Ranger EV are equipped with ROPS certified (roll over protection system) roll cages. Each unit is designed to carry two people and has three point safety belts for each occupant. In an effort to make the safety belts more comfortable over rough terrain Polaris installed 2-inch comfort straps. These straps allow the safety belts to move up to 2 inches lessening the shoulder discomfort felt by the consumer while operating the Rangers on uneven terrain. Polaris Lock and Ride system is also standard on both units and Polaris has designed a whole line of unit specific Pure Polaris accessories for these all new Rangers.

Hardest working, smoothest riding, and value packed don’t always go together but Polaris made it a point to provide the consumer with just that. Two all new machines that boast many class leading features at a value price. These two new Rangers are sure to be an asset to anyone weather you are using them on the trail, around your acreage, on the job, or around your towns public parks each one of these machines has the capability to work and play just as hard as the larger Ranger line at a more budget minded value price.
