The dealer I’m dealing with sells Polaris and CFMoto. He says gets 10:1 more Polaris in for repairs verses CFMoto. He said they started building in Mexico this year so who knows what will happen for my luck. That wouldn't surprise me at all. Even though I own one, I'm still not a Polaris guy. I believe I saw an ad for a new Kawasaki Mule that appeared to be similar to the Rangers. Hard doors, windows that roll up and down, auto glass windshields, and I think A/C. If Kawasaki is making something like that, I'll definitely be looking at them. I think I could sell my Ranger for what I have in it right now. edit...not a Mule, a Ridge www.kawasaki.com/en-us/side-x-side/ridgeCountry Cat have/had a couple Ridges in stock. They sure aren't giving the HVAC model away www.countrycat.com/machine-inventory/new-2024-ridge-hvac-candy-persimmon-red

Although I'm sure I was looking at the open cab models that cost much less.

You can get a small Mule for around $12k edit...Looks like a Ranger comparable to the Ridge I posted would be right around $28K, that'd be a Northstar Edition 1000...which is what I have. I ordered mine in March of '21 and I believe list price was $25K. About $1000/year increase If you really want to go nuts, you can get a Ranger 1500 Northstar Edition for around $40K, for maybe another $5K or so you could make it a crewcab

We found out we're going to have another grandkid, so the wife thinks we either need a bigger Ranger or a 4-6 seat golf cart.
I'm leaning golfcart
Nope..no golfcart. Can't ride them on roads in MN with a speed limit over 35

Can't ride them on roads in MN with a speed limit over 35 I'd try a few brands to find the one that has the quietest cab. Most complain about the engine noise in my Polaris Ranger when sitting in the back seat. The front seat is pretty loud too.....but the people in back have no clue what is being said in the front. 2 cents. Not sure anyone has a sound dead cab yet.....but worth asking about.

I agree that they still are very loud however. I told the wife we may be better off just getting another 3 passenger SxS.

^ That looks like a different red truck than I saw. Lots of abandoned vehicles on the trails around here. Usually an ill-equipped pickup or a car that is trashed on the rocks and left behind. Not sure why folks even try to get a car down some of these trails.....but they do. There are so many jeeps and SXS's here that have big tires and lifted suspensions........lots of dollars spent on this activity.
