Going to buy my first UTV and Have narrowed it down to the 2022 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Forest Edition or the 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Trail Boss. Use will include general hunting and general land management work...nothing brutal. The Pioneer is just a little wider, holds 7.9 gallons of fuel, is 72 Horsepower and comes standard with 4500# winch and hard doors...will only need to purchase the windshield and top. The Polaris Trail Boss has 82 Horsepower, holds 11.5 gallons of fuel, has the soft canvas/netting type doors, has what seems to be a better suspension system and more ground clearance...will have to purchase a winch, top and windshield. $1300 difference in base price between the two with the Polaris being the higher price.
Which of the two has a better track record from a maintenance/breakdown standpoint? Does one or the other seem to have more inherent issues? Which would you choose and why?
I don't necessarily need the Pioneer 1000-5 which can hold 5 but that is all the dealer can get.
Your insight is appreciated. Thanks
Gene
