I'm interested to hear of what years if any were ones to avoid or ones that were stellar. For Ranger and Mule.
My first one was around 2000 and I loved it with no issues.
Next was around 2006 and had transmission issues (as did many Rangers then)
Last one was 2010 - huge problems with heat issues in the cab/seat area and floorboard - seats got so hot they would melt the plastic connectors on the underside that held the seat on. This too was a common problem that Polaris refused to address. Also dust issues in the cab area (the current two row seat Polaris's have big dust issues inside the cab). I also had issues with the rubber CV joint covers tearing and then having to replace the entire CV unit - cost around $1600 to replace all the CV joints. The newer units are made out of more plastic than the older ones and cheaper overall parts
