Polaris RANGER 6x6 - Amazing Capacity and the World's Only True 6WD Utility Vehicle
 
There is nothing like it. The new, redesigned 2005 Polaris RANGER ® 6x6 is the largest capacity and highest traction utility vehicle ever built. With a new, exclusive Lock & Ride TM cargo system, the industry's highest payload, cargo and towing capacities, an industry leading 66 kmph top speed, and the industry's only true six wheel drive traction capability, the RANGER 6x6 is the hardest working utility vehicle you can buy. Plus, the six wheel independent front and independent center plus swing arm rear suspension provides an unparalleled and super smooth ride over even the nastiest terrain.

New for 2005 is the exclusive Lock & Ride TM cargo system that carries equipment, gear and loose material better than anyone in the business. This cargo system combines a redesigned, multi-functional cargo box and a full range of PURE Polaris accessories that attach in less than 10 seconds, allowing you to work faster and carry gear more easily. The new, redesigned composite cargo box has a 568 kg capacity and holds over .42 cubic metres of cargo volume - 17% bigger, and 113.5 kgs more than the class leading RANGER 4x4. The cargo box is big enough to hold a standard pallet, has drain holes for wet material and comes standard with a pickup truck style tailgate and self-cleaning hinge for easy dumping of loose materials. With multiple D-rings inside, tie down points outside, and 1 ¼ inch thru-hole mounting points around the entire box, there are hundreds of ways to secure and carry gear and cargo.

No other utility vehicle is comparable to the off-road comfort or ability of RANGER 6x6. With the McPherson strut, independent front suspension matched to independent center plus rear swing-arm, dual coil-over shock rear suspension, the RANGER 6x6 can absorb the deep ruts, washouts, rocks and washboards of farm fields, unimproved job sites and rugged off-road terrain. The suspension has a high 15.9 cm of travel and 18.3 cm of ground clearance, to give you the smoothest ride in almost any terrain.

The RANGER 6x6 features 50% more traction than any other utility vehicle through the exclusive Polaris On-Demand true six-wheel drive system. This user-friendly system automatically senses rear wheel traction loss and transfers full torque to both front wheels. By moving a dash-mounted lever, the system can be engaged or disengaged for rough terrain.

According to Marc Tullemans, Product Manager, "The capacity and capability of the RANGER 6x6 is unmatched by any other utility vehicle. When the 795 kg payload capacity is paired with the industry's only On-Demand true 6-wheel drive, you have the hardest working, smoothest ride available."

At the heart of the Polaris RANGER 6x6 is the 30 horsepower, 4-valve, 4-stroke liquid-cooled Polaris 500 engine. This impressive power plant delivers industry leading towing, hauling, payload and top speed through an automatic Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT). The PVT requires no shifting and responds to both engine RPM and vehicle torque requirements for superior power transfer in all riding conditions. Over 1 million PVTs have been built, and the RANGER 6x6 comes standard with an exclusive lifetime limited warranty on the drive belt.
