00:00I just spent a lot of time in the Polaris Ranger XD1500.
00:04That is a three-quarter ton side-by-side with 110 horsepower in line three.
00:10Yeah, and that's an amazing rig.
00:12You know what also has 110 horsepower?
00:14This.
00:15And more important than that horsepower number, it has 140 pound-feet of torque.
00:19And all of that comes on the instant you touch the accelerator.
00:23You can bet your tulips the XD1500 can't match that number.
00:26How much did you say?
00:27140 pound-feet.
00:29But how much torque does a Ranger XP1000 make?
00:32Yeah, I'm glad you asked.
00:32It's 62.
00:35Do you need 140 pound-feet in a utility rig?
00:37Okay, number one, how dare you?
00:39Well...
00:39And number two, yes and no, right?
00:41The more power you have, the easier it is on the machine if you're doing any sort of serious work.
00:46Fair.
00:46You know, tow capacities are capacities for a reason.
00:49If you have a 2,500-pound towing capacity and you're towing 2,500 pounds,
00:52you're using the absolute max.
00:54That's going to be hard on a machine.
00:55You've got more power, it's going to be easier on the drivetrain.
00:58Easier on you.
00:59You're not going to be beating yourself up.
01:00You're not going to be beating the rig up.
