If your UTV needs require serious hauling capacity as well as the capability to traverse nasty mud and deep water, the Polaris Ranger XP 900 EPS High Lifter Edition has you covered. Able to haul three people, 1,000 pounds in the bed, and a trailer as heavy as 2,000 pounds, the High Lifter edition Ranger XP 900 has all of the same capacities as the standard Ranger XP 900. However, this special edition UTV is engineered with the goal of conquering mud, muck, and mayhem along the way!

With a 15.9% lower gear ratio than the standard Ranger XP 900, the High Lifter Edition has the ability to churn the aggressive High Lifter tires in even the most challenging conditions.!UTV Driver

High Clearance Arched Lower A-Arms:

Paired with stiffer springs to help control the gnarly tires, the arched design of the lower a-arm helps avoid impact with obstacles that can potentially impede progress.!UTV Driver

Utilizing the principals of Polaris' On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, the Pro-Lock essentially locks power to all four wheels more quickly when it senses slippage. !UTV Driver

4500lb. Factory Winch:

Class-Leading Towing and Payload:

900cc Twin-Cylinder ProStar Engine:

This fuel injected, liquid cooled twin cylinder powerplant boasts 68hp and excellent low-end grunt. Paired to the low-ration transmission, it sends serious power to the 28" Outlaw II mud tires.!UTV Driver

High Mounted Air Intake and Vent Lines:

The CVT intake, CVT exhaust, and engine intake all breathe through snorkels mounted high behind the cabin. Vent lines are also integrated into the cab at a higher location as well to keep the differentials healthy.UTV Driver

Electric Power Steering:

Variable assist power steering provides more assist at low speeds, and less when speed increases. EPS minimizes the effort needed to turn with the aggressive Outlaw II tires. !UTV Driver

Sealed Electrics:

All electrical switches, the fuse box, and the battery are sealed to help provide protection for the sensitive electronics. !UTV Driver
