An Unbiased Short Review of the Polaris Ranger XP 1000
What happens here
Josh adds his perspective, specifically noting an issue with the rear suspension. He observed that when the vehicle was fully loaded with cargo in the bed and three people in the back seat, the rear suspension would sag significantly. This sagging reduces ground clearance by at least 1.5 to 2 inches, which is problematic for navigating rough and rocky terrain commonly found on a ranch. He considers this a major downside for practical use with heavy loads.
Goal: Identify and discuss the rear suspension's performance with heavy loads
