This is all I have seen so far.

Nothing earth shattering, I'm sure. Maybe cooled seat since the Ride Command has had that in the menu for over a year. Maybe a better warranty since the competition is doing it. Maybe the tight asses will make side mirrors standard. Would love to see stock blinkers and a horn.
Biggest news I saw on their website is the Mountaineer. 20% lower final drive should be great for climbing. But they also mention top speed is limited. If they lowered that by the same amount you would only get into the low 50's.

As expected a total disappointment..............
New color options - Camo as always but not in the Texas or Mountaineer editions. Your color options range from dark green, dark charcoal, and black. So as long as you don't actually like color the 2026 XD is for you.
The Mountaineer has a lower final drive ratio which some here might like. You loose speed but will gain torque......just hope you like green because it's your only color option.
The Texas Edition gives you extra stitching on the seats, JBL 4200 audio, tinted windows, 32" tires, and bead lock rims for $2000 over the Ultimate price. Seems like a good deal to me but you have to want black and want to drive around your state celebrating Texas. I mean WTF why can't the dumb asses just call it a Limited Edition or Special Edition so I don't have to drive around Iowa explaining my love for Texas. I'm guessing 49 of the 50 states wish it wasn't called this........maybe I'm wrong.
Of course the MSRP jumped by a $1000 and they did not include 1 thing for the customer that would be considered value added. No mirrors, 4 speakers, a radio that got reception or anything crazy like that.
It also continues to cost more to ship to your dealer than your 4 door, 3/4 ton pick-up did..........same ole' Polaris price gouging.
Ok my rant is over, I'm more than disappointed in what they have to offer for 2026........the good news for my wife is I have absolutely NO reason to trade for a newer model.

That kit that was discussed here on the forum works great. I used during my elk hunt, I loved it. Didn’t even mess with the factory switch.
