Gonna have to get a smaller beer cooler for the back now that the bed is useless. Hopefully that is another type of ranger, because the utility use for it will be gone & the agriculture use will be severely limited. If they do make that there only ranger, they will drop in sales to the ranchers & farmers. It looks like a chinese dune buggy.

I think it is an addition to the ranger lineup. It is called the ranger rzr. Its really supposed to be a sportier version of the other rangers geared towards trail riders and mud boggers. Maybe they came out with this because they lost alot of sales because of the rhinos??  ???

It does look like a chinese knock-off.  I dont think those will be a big hit.

It is a 800 Fuel injected engine mounted behind the driver.  It is 100lbs lighter than the rhino, 7" lower than the rhino, adjustable seats, tilt steering, grab handle for passenger and the seat belts stretch 2" to keep them from strangling you over the whoops.  It also does 0-35 mph in 4 seconds and has a top speed of 55 mph. 
Yes I have done my homework although I do not know if I will be the first to buy.

Was thinking about a rhino next year but may look at this closer when it arrives. I don't like the low ground clearance though.
