Mountaineer Edition

  • CLIMB CONFIDENTLY : Designed with a lower gear ratio that delivers more low-end torque and limits top speed for smooth uphill climbs and steady handling in rocky, high-altitude terrain where every move counts.
  • OPTIMIZED FOR HIGH-ALTITUDE CAPABILITY : Built for confidence in steep, rugged terrain—delivering the torque and control needed for hauling heavy loads at elevation.
  • STYLED FOR THE SUMMIT : Make your mark with signature badging and tinted windows on the RANGER XD 1500 Mountaineer—designed to keep the cab more comfortable when you're riding at elevation.
  • Mountaineer Edition delivers 20% more low-end torque than standard RANGER XD 1500 for smooth uphill climbs and heavy-duty performance at high elevation.

Unlock Exclusive NorthStar Features

  • COMPLETE CLIMATE CONTROL : The 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.
  • IMMERSIVE SOUND SYSTEM : Standard with the Ultimate trim, integrated JBL audio speakers deliver precise audio clarity and premium sound. Run AM/FM radio or connect to Bluetooth® via the RIDE COMMAND infotainment system.
  • NAVIGATE CONFIDENTLY--EVEN OFF GRID : The 7” Display, powered by RIDE COMMAND, delivers built‑in GPS navigation with access to over 1.3 million miles of trail maps, Group Ride and other unique features—even without cell service—so you can ride with confidence and tackle jobs with ease.
  • Elevate your ride for work or play with NorthStar comfort and convenience. Climate control, connected tech, premium audio and more deliver an exclusive off-road experience.

Unmatched Comfort

  • EXPERIENCE EXTREME COMFORT : Maximize comfort with the most premium and spacious cab we've ever built, industry-leading tech and available heated seats.
  • OUR 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 let’s you 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. Heated front seats available on the Ultimate trim.
  • 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.
  • Extreme duty doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on comfort. RANGER XD 1500 is designed to maximize comfort and convenience with the most spacious and premium cab we’ve ever built—and rides like a dream.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • RANGER XD 1500 is engineered to tackle the toughest jobs with industry-leading capability.
