Features

Hardest Working Features

  • VERSATRAC TURF MODE: The differential lock allows the driver to drive with both rear wheels when additional traction is needed. When additional traction is not needed, unlock the rear differential and use the VersaTrac Turf Mode. This option is perfect for easier, tighter turns that won’t tear up lawn or landscaping.
  • TOWING & PAYLOAD: With a full 1,500 lb towing, 1,000 lb payload, and standard 2” receiver, the RANGER 4x2 allows you to tackle the toughest jobs with confidence.
  • AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: The Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) delivers superior performance, ease of use, and maximum drivability in all conditions. It requires no shifting or user input to deliver smooth power, just select high or low range and you are on your way to getting more done.
  • GAS-ASSIST DUMP BOX: For larger loads, utilize the gas-assist dump box to unload the bed of your RANGER. The gas shock assists in lifting the bed for easier dumping abilities with heavy loads.

Smoothest Riding Features

  • HUGE GROUND CLEARANCE AND TRAVEL: With 10" of ground clearance and 9" of wheel travel, tackle any jobsite terrain to get where you need to work.
  • LOCK & RIDE®: Add four-season versatility and unmatched comfort to your RANGER with a Lock & Ride Pro Fit cab system. Designed exclusively with, and for, your machine, Polaris Engineered™ cab components fit perfectly, install easily, and seal tightly to keep the elements out and you protected.
  • ADJUSTABLE TILT STEERING: Utilize the tilt steering to adjust the position of the steering wheel to easily enter and exit the vehicle

Value Features

  • TAKE IT ANYWHERE: RANGER 500 4x2 has a 73" wheel base and 58" width, allowing it to fit in the back of many trucks so you can take it out for the jobs you need.
  • EASY MAINTENANCE: RANGER is engineered to make maintenance quick and straightforward in your shop with easy to access service points for the oil filter, dipstick, and drain plug.
  • COMFORT & CONVENIENCE: Equipped with in-dash sealed storage and two cup holders so you can comfortably take everything you need along for the job.
