Climb Confidently
Designed with a lower gear ratio that delivers more low-end torque and limits top speed for smooth uphill climbs and steady handling in rocky, high-altitude terrain where every move counts.
Optimized for High-Altitude Capability
Built for confidence in steep, rugged terrain—delivering the torque and control needed for hauling heavy loads at elevation.
Styled For The Summit
Make your mark with signature badging and tinted windows on the RANGER XD 1500 Mountaineer—designed to keep the cab more comfortable when you're riding at elevation.
UNMATCHED COMFORT
Extreme duty doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on comfort. RANGER XD 1500 is designed to maximize comfort and convenience with the most spacious and premium cab we’ve ever built—and rides like a dream.
Our Most Spacious Cab
We’ve increased interior space with 2” more leg room than our other full-size UTVs, plus easier entry and exit for tasks like working fence lines. Adjustable seating and a telescopic steering wheel let’s you find the perfect fit for your height and riding preferences.
Premium Seating
Contoured seating has added bolstering for more comfort. A new center flip-down seat transforms into an arm rest with added cupholders for more convenience.
Legendary Smooth Ride
An industry-leading 12” suspension travel, the ultra smooth engagement and quiet operation of the STEELDRIVE transmission, and chassis improvements deliver the smoothest ride of any RANGER we’ve ever built. A longer wheelbase delivers better stability in rough terrain for confident handling.
Unlock Exclusive NorthStar Features
Elevate your ride for work or play with NorthStar comfort and convenience. Climate control, connected tech, premium audio and more deliver an exclusive off-road experience.
Complete Climate Control
The heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system offers 5 different air flow settings and a recirculation setting to draw air from inside the cab instead of outside for faster, more efficient heating and cooling.
Immersive Sound System
Standard with the Ultimate trim, integrated JBL audio speakers deliver precise audio clarity and premium sound. Run AM/FM radio or connect to Bluetooth via the RIDE COMMAND infotainment system.
RIDE COMMAND
Elevate your off-road experience with the power of RIDE COMMAND—the original, nationwide off-road mapping system. With over 1.3 million miles of verified trails, unique features and pre-installed rear camera, you'll be able to ride with confidence and tackle jobs with ease.

RANGER XD 1500 is powered by a 3-cylinder ProStar 1500cc engine. It pumps out an industry-leading 110 HPand 105 lb.-ft. of torque for effortless hauling and towing and confidence on tough terrain.
Haul More in Less Time
Save time with fewer trips and heavier loads with a 1,500-lb. cargo box capacity, a 50% larger box volume than full-size UTVs.
