This is the ultimate test: Desert, sand washes, silt, and whoops at a scorching 115 degrees. It was the San Felipe SCORE Challenge of Champions. Joey, owner of UTVunderground.com was aware of Bink Designs and High Rev Photography’s need to be able to access remote locations through challenging terrain. Joey thought the 6-seat Polaris Ranger would be a good choice to loan them to test over the race weekend.

He was right.  During race day, we soon realized the Polaris Ranger is definitely a workhorse machine.  The Ranger seats 6 people and with only 3 of us in it we all had plenty of room to breathe.  The suspension on the Ranger isn’t on the same level as the RZR’s so we weren’t expecting to be able to blast through the desert in it, but the ride was surprisingly nice over smaller whoops.  The extra weight of the Ranger helped keep the UTV low to the ground, which helped reduce any body roll.  Navigating through the rough, we found ourselves puckering up a few times due to the longer wheelbase, but overall, it was a smooth ride.

One thing that the Polaris doesn’t lack in is storage.  Underneath the front seat, it was able to store all of our camera bags, tools, tow strap, and other items we wanted to keep out of the dust or this compartment can be used as a large cooler.  The utility bed had plenty of room for a large cooler and a 5-gallon gas jug, with more room to spare.

The 4×4 was great to have and saved us a few times in soft areas near the course.  The option to have it in 4wd, 2wd locked, or 2wd one tire fire was also nice driving around town as it was easier to maneuver on pavement.  We were also able to drive up the Sand Dunes in San Felipe with one wheel drive!

“We always have safety in mind and this Polaris Ranger was able to get us through the desert safely.  Because of that, we were able to get some spectacular photos over the weekend!” stated Brian Binkert owner of Bink Designs.

If you are looking for a UTV to have fun flying around in the dunes or the desert, the Ranger might not be the choice for you.  What this UTV does well is get you, your friends, and a ton of gear from point A to B in a comfortable fashion.  It’s perfect for the pits, on the farm, or anywhere you need a reliable workhorse.

“The Polaris Ranger exceeded our expectations and proved to be reliable throughout our trip to Baja.” stated Jason Zindroski owner of High Rev Photography.
Thanks Joey for letting us borrow the beast in San Felipe!  Look forward to more adventures soon!
