Polaris launches new diesel-powered UTV line

Polaris Commercial has designed a line of utility task vehicles (UTVs) purpose-built for work: the all-new PRO XD. The PRO XD line from Polaris offers three diesel-powered models built to withstand tough duty cycles and usage on the worksite.

“Polaris Commercial is lazer-focused on delivering best-in-class capability, durability, serviceability, and safety to drive increased productivity for commercial work needs, missions, and markets. We listened, learned, and leveraged our nearly 65 years in this business and now we’re delivering the absolute best new UTV optimized for work,” said John Olson, vice president and general manager of Polaris Commercial. “These new vehicles will deliver huge value to our hard-working customers in the rental, construction, commercial and government sectors.”

 The PRO XD provides a payload of 1,930 lbs and towing load of 2,500 lbs.

The vehicle models are the two-passenger PRO XD 2000D, which is available in either two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the four-passenger PRO XD 4000D available in all-wheel drive.

“Our expansive commercial and military customer base operate Polaris vehicles in the harshest environments around the world,” said Sean Cheatham, vice president of product development, strategy, and marketing at Polaris Commercial. “And we have incorporated their feedback into the development of the PRO XD.”

The Polaris PRO XD features a Kubota industrial diesel engine, all-new rigid chassis design, rust-free and dent-resistant composite bed, heavy -duty, sealed driveline components to increase resistance from corrosive conditions and reinforced seat base and heavy-duty seat material.

The Polaris PRO XD is designed to increase vehicle lifespan and optimize uptime. Serviceability enhancements include:

• Engine maintenance intervals doubled to 200 hours
• Improved vehicle fault alarms to notify users of potential issues that could cause serious damage to the vehicle. Alarms include low oil pressure, parking brake engagement, belt burn, and engine overheat
• Relocated dipstick and air filter for easiest service maintenance through side access without the need to raise the bed
• Front air intake for clean air ingestion, improved air filter life, consistent engine power and durability
• Two-seat, two-wheel drive offering for driveline service simplicity
• Polaris PULSETM Connector simplifies the process of adding electronic accessories like lights and radios to the vehicle’s power source, simplifying accessory installation and enhancing upfit possibilities
