Other from normal wear/tear,, it ran good. Only problem is that it didn't want to idle well. Would be used for general use at hunting land, work around the house and riding the kids. thanks,,

My brothers got a 08 ranger crew.He's had quite a few problems outta his including an idleing problem.Already had to replace the belt twice and both boots on the back axles are busted now.This thing don't get abused at all.Its definately turned me against buying a polaris when I get ready to buy a sxs.

I like all of them I've driven just don't know if i would ever spend the money on a belt driven anything.. I'm one bad ass little person and a special kind of stupid.....
