The 2012 Polaris Ranger 500 is the perfect choice for those in search of a middleweight SxS capable of delivering top performance yet making no compromises in terms of craftsmanship. Sporting the technologies proven in the biggest SxS machines in the family, this half-liter beast has been engineered to provide: hefty towing capacity, on-demand AWD, a spacious dump box with Lock&Ride cargo system, generous ground clearance and a mid-size chassis which makes loading in the back of a pickup truck a breeze.
With an automatic transmission and selectable high and low ratios, the 2012 Polaris Ranger 500 is easy to operate even by the less experienced riders while the large ground clearance and robust suspension make sure the beast can tackle pretty much any obstacle in its way, while retaining a smooth ride character on even grounds, too.
