Hello,
Looks like a good forum w/lots of useful info and posts. We live in a sparsely populated mountain area in Idaho. Hunting, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, golfing, and of course SxS rides are the focus. Current rig is a ’22 General XP 1000. It’s been good to us and rides nice.
Knowing my wife doesn’t like getting absolutely dusty and filthy every time she goes on a backcountry ride, I posed the question that if we replaced our General with an enclosed cab that also has HVAC, would that make it more enjoyable for her. It was an instant yes! She told me to start searching. I looked over the brands and models and have decided on a 1500 XD. A couple of friends recently purchased the enclosed Can-ams. But I like the idea of the 1.5 litter triple engine and the steel belt. Only options I’m going to add out of the gate will be 32” tires, street legal kit, mirrors, and rock sliders (given the long wheel base). Likely will have them add the 1,000lb cargo winch and headache rack as well. But maybe I should go with a Thumper brand given some posts on the Polaris headache rack?
If anyone has strong feelings on required add ons, please let me know. Thanks.
