Polaris today announced the RANGER HD has been awarded “Best of the Best” by Field & Stream Magazine, which had honored the vehicle as one of the “Best Off-Road Rides for 2009” in a previous issue.
“Polaris would like to thank Field & Stream for naming the RANGER HD as the ‘Best of the Best,’” said Jan Rintamaki, marketing director of the Off-Road Division for Polaris. “It’s an honor to have the world’s leading outdoor magazine recognize the RANGER HD as a premier product for its readership.”
Built for ultra heavy-duty work applications, the RANGER HD was introduced by Polaris as part of its model year 2009 lineup. The vehicle has all the new RANGER features plus an exclusive Self-Leveling Suspension and Variable Assist Power Steering.
The RANGER HD was introduced with Nivomat® shocks, making it the first-ever Self-Leveling Suspension on a utility vehicle. When carrying heavy loads, the shocks automatically adjust the suspension, resulting in the highest loaded ground clearance of any utility vehicle.
Due to a lower spring rate, the Nivomats provide a smoother ride and the ability to go long distances at 50 mph with the vehicle fully loaded, which makes hauling loads quicker and easier.
For easier steering during heavy-duty work applications, the RANGER HD also features power steering with exclusive Variable Assist. RANGER HD’s power steering delivers easy, one-finger steering at low speeds and eliminates feedback at high speeds so the operator can work longer and better enjoy the ride.
The system is ideal for plowing as well, especially with the new BOSS® Lift & Carry System that attaches to the front of the RANGER HD and can lift and carry up to 500 pounds.
Outdoor enthusiasts can see the RANGER HD in Field & Stream’s Gear of the Year feature in the September 2009 issue, which is available on newsstands now.
