The Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S has one big shortcoming (& we fixed it)
|
Let’s face it, the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S is a near-perfect ATV. It’s incredibly fast, supremely comfortable, and multi-talented beyond what most think a four-wheel-drive four-wheeler can manage. But it’s designed for fun, not utility, and as it turns out that’s a bit of a problem when you need to carry tools, sustenance, wet…

Electric UTVs are coming: Polaris and Zero partner to build electric side-by-sides
|

Need to cool off? Watch RJ Anderson rip across snow in his Polaris RZR
|
RJ Anderson has taken his heavily modified Polaris RZR just about everywhere. The XP1K series has been an unreal adventure showing just how far you can push a side-by-side. Well… not you.

2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV Quick Review: Big, bad, overkill

GM seems to be all-in on off-roader pickups these days. Its Colorado ZR2 trim spilled over to the Silverado ZR2, then to the 2500HD models, and over to GMC’s Canyon and Sierra trucks.
