Better ground clearance at 8 inches (20cm), compared to only 6 inches (15 cm) on the 170.Has larger tires (2 or 3 inches depending on which wheel).Has GPS, geofencing, and the RideCommander app to control the side-by-side’s max speed.Seats slide back and forth and steering wheel tilts up and down to accommodate growing kids.This improves handling and allows riders to go over bigger bumps. The Ranger 150 has 22″ front and rear tires, while the tires on the RZR 170 are 19″ and 20″ (front and rear). The Ranger has seats that slide forward and back to accommodate your kids’ height as they grow, and also a steering wheel which manually tilts up and down to adjust for them.Īnother nice feature of the new Ranger is that it has larger wheels. The other impressive feature of the Ranger 150, and why I believe it’s far superior to the Razor 170 is the adjustability. Parents can also set up a “geofence,” which means a mapped out specific area where the kids can’t go, or where you want their speed to be lower.
This allows the parents to set a maximum speed via their phone app and then push the settings to the vehicle. The stand-out feature of the Ranger 150 EFI is the large digital panel in the center of the dashboard with safety and GPS controls. Read on for more details on this creative new solution to the youth UTV market. It is the ultimate machine for your kids and teens to enjoy the outdoors. It has advanced safety options, is reliable by all reports, and can be purchased for about the same price as a dirt bike. It blows every other option out of the water.
So what’s my review of the Polaris Ranger 150? The all-new Polaris Ranger 150 is–by far–the most appealing option for a youth UTV right now. I’m not yet an owner, so the views in this article are still going off my initial impressions and a review of the specs and such, but hopefully, it will be helpful. Tomorrow, I’m driving to another state to pick up a Polaris Ranger 150. Overall, one of the best purchases I made this year. The only durability issues we had are (1) The factory set the pin and the dealership couldn’t figure it out to unlock the screen so that was some work, and (2) A plastic piece on the back fell off. It’s fast at about 32 miles per hour max, and I’m surprised that I can actually fit in it and go with them just fine.

UPDATE 4 Months after purchase: My kids have absolutely LOVED this thing! It rarely spends a whole day in the garage, as they use it as a replacement bicycle to drive to their friend’s houses since we live in the country. As an Amazon Associate earns from qualifying purchases.
