110 hp
1,250 lbs in bed vs 1,000 for the gas
There are some pretty good things it has going for it.

Yes Polaris says it is the strongest Ranger it has ever made by far. Increased HP, increased bed capacity, increased towing capacity

The big catch for me is the price, 25k for the base model to start MSRP. The gas powered same model retails for $11,600. And weighs about 600 pounds less. Over $13k more expensive. Weighs 600 pounds more. Has a pipe dream range of 45 miles... PT Barnum was right. I bet they won't sell many like that. So you are comparing it to the 500? Was looking at this: https://ranger.polaris.com/en-us/ranger-sp-570/ vs This: https://ranger.polaris.com/en-us/ranger-xp-kinetic/Sorry if the comparison wasn't good... They look about the same to me. But if someone else were buying me one to have and keep, I'd still chose the gas model.

But if someone else were buying me one to have and keep, I'd still chose the gas model. No worries at all. The Ranger Kinetic is more on par with the 1000 series in regards to hauling, towing, bed capacity, HP however it actually exceeds the 1000 series in all of those categories as well. I was drawing my comparison to the Polaris Ranger 1000 xp gas model. I appreciate your time in replies its a lot to consider and all help is appreciated. Scott

You lost me at Polaris. Had a Polaris 6x6 and ran it hard '14-'19 in really tough going. It was amazing. Repairs were constant and expensive, but it got things done. Then CanAm entered the game and Polaris was no longer in it. In three years we have not used any of the spare axles we carry. The bearings are still good all around... Mine was just delivered last week. It is a serious machine.

Sitka,
How's the visco lock front end holding up? No issues? Slip?
