Dressed in , this 2027 Polaris Ranger Crew® XP 1000 NorthStar Edition Texas Edition is the kind of full-size utility UTV that looks ready before you even turn the key. (And if you’re the type who likes options, this model is also offered in Gloss Black Crystal—but this one wears with serious attitude.)

Under the hood lives Polaris’ liquid-cooled 999cc ProStar™ parallel-twin, a 4-stroke DOHC setup with 82 hp and 62 ft-lb of torque. Translation: it’s got the muscle to feel lively on open stretches, and the grunt to stay confident when the work (or the trail) gets demanding. Fuel injection keeps things crisp, it runs on regular gas, and it all feeds through a Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) CVT with high/low range and reverse, so you can crawl, cruise, or back into tight spots without drama.

This Crew is built to bring the whole group along—six bucket seats across two rows, complete with headrests, plus eight cupholders because hydration (or your road-trip soda) matters. When the day runs long, the NorthStar-style hard cab canopy and hard doors help keep the elements in their place while you stay focused on the route.

On the ground, it’s confidently planted with 29-inch Pro Armor® X-Terrain 8-ply tires on 14-inch aluminum wheels, and it backs that up with independent double A-arm suspension front and rear with 10 inches of travel. Add power steering, a tight 17.5-foot turning radius, and 14 inches of ground clearance, and you get a machine that feels surprisingly maneuverable for its big, capable footprint.

Utility is where it really earns its keep: a 1000-lb tilting cargo bed with integral tie-down hooks, plus 2,500 lbs of towing capacity via a receiver hitch. And when the route gets steep, Active Descent Control (ADC) helps manage engine braking on the way back down.

Finish it off with modern touches like RIDE COMMAND™ GPS, LED lighting, a JBL audio system with Bluetooth®, and the added peace of mind of Polaris P.A.S.S. engine immobilizer—then point that Ranger toward whatever Texas-sized plan you’ve got next.
