Brute Strength

MAXIMUM DURABILITY AND STRENGTH: Our industry-exclusive STEELDRIVE transmission features a 100% steel constructed belt. It’s designed to withstand heavier loads and require less maintenance than the rubber belt design commonly found in other UTVs. Plus, it’s fully sealed and liquid-cooled for maximum durability and longevity.
SMOOTH, PRECISE CONTROL: STEELDRIVE is electronically controlled to deliver outstanding drivability. Enjoy smooth, predictable throttle engagement and precise low-speed control when backing up to trailers, navigating rough terrain, or spraying a fence line.
EASY SHIFTING, QUIET OPERATION: Easily shift between drive, park, and reverse gears with a consistent, predictable feel and less effort. The fully sealed design reduces operating noise for a quieter, more enjoyable ride.

Unmatched Comfort

COMPLETE CLIMATE CONTROL: The upgraded heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system offers 5 different air flow settings and a recirculation setting to draw air from inside the cab instead of outside for faster, more efficient heating and cooling.
INDUSTRY'S MOST SPACIOUS CAB: We’ve increased interior space with 2” more leg room than our other full-size UTVs, plus easier entry and exit for tasks like working fence lines. Adjustable seating and a telescopic steering wheel allows you to find the perfect fit for your height and riding preferences.
PREMIUM SEATING: Contoured seating has added bolstering for more comfort. A center flip-down seat transforms into an arm rest with added cupholders for more convenience.
LEGENDARY SMOOTH RIDE: An industry-leading 12" suspension travel, the ultra-smooth engagement and quiet operation of the STEELDRIVE transmission, and chassis improvements deliver the smoothest ride of any RANGER we’ve ever built. A longer wheelbase delivers better stability in rough terrain for confident handling.

Unprecedented Capability

POWER YOUR PRODUCTIVITY: RANGER XD 1500 is powered by a 3-cylinder ProStar 1500cc engine. It pumps out an industry-leading 110 HP and 105 lb.-ft. of torque for effortless hauling and towing and confidence on tough terrain.
TOW HEAVIER LOADS: Maximize your productivity with enhanced capability. From round bales to horse trailers, XD 1500 is engineered to work with an astounding 3,500-lb. towing capacity.
HAUL MORE IN LESS TIME: Save time with fewer trips and heavier loads with a 1,500-lb. cargo box capacity- a 50% larger box volume than full-size UTVs.
