I can't speak to the other items... but I will say that myself and others use the standard one for plowing all the time and it is a beast. I've encountered no issues plowing deep, heavy, very wet snow with a 7' plow.

I dido what jj46 says about plowing snow. I don't have a Mountaineer but I see no reason you would need one to plow snow. I have a 7' plow and it will push more than the plow...
I haven't plowed with the Mountaineer but drive it around my steep hunting property quite a bit. It has a lot more torque than the standard 1500. It is geared the way the standard model should...

I didn't drive the HD11, but sitting in them was a very different experience between the two for me. The 1500 felt like my truck... it felt familiar, comfortable, refined... I liked the...
We live in E. Oregon (away from the crazies). We use these machines every day. I average 6000 miles a year, and the wife averages 3000 miles a year on hers. We currently have 3500 miles on the 2025 XD Northstar. It already seems far...
The only issue I have on start-up is when I don't let the fuel pump cycle long enough before I turn the key. Next time you start it turn the key and let the fuel pump cycle for...

Well I did a little research on ethanol vs premium gas in our Rangers to see if there could be a logical reason why ethanol would perform better than 91 octane premium gas. You can take this...

I’ve had the dealer loctite repair/fix. And I still have the clunk. Got mine back last week. They replaced both rear axles and did the Loctite fix. So far so good!

I can confirm that the stock shocks are good enough for me. My riding sounds close to what you do.
I have the single can Northstar version with a little over 800 miles on it , 90% from riding Hatfield Mc Coy trails. Stock Shocks suck for trail riding , way too stiff, even...

Sorry I never check. I do know depending on what I’m doing, where I’m at, I’ve been around 170-180 and filled up. I wasn’t empty, but wasn’t about to leave camp without filling back up.

That’s weird. I’ve never seen that one. Maybe because the speed limiter got raised with the tune?
