UNMATCHED COMFORT
Extreme duty doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort. RANGER XD 1500 is designed to maximise comfort and convenience with the most spacious and premium cab we’ve ever built—and rides like a dream.
Experience Extreme Comfort
Maximise comfort with the most premium and spacious cab we've ever built, industry-leading tech and available heated seats.
Industry's Most Spacious Cab
We’ve increased interior space with 2” more leg room than our other full-size UTVs, plus easier entry and exit for tasks like working fence lines. Adjustable seating and a telescopic steering wheel let you find the perfect fit for your height and riding preferences.
Premium Seating
New contoured seating has added bolstering for more comfort. A new centre flip-down seat transforms into an armrest with added cup holders for more convenience.
Legendary Smooth Ride
An industry-leading 12” suspension travel, the ultra-smooth engagement and quiet operation of the STEELDRIVE transmission, and chassis improvements deliver the smoothest ride of any RANGER we’ve ever built. A longer wheelbase delivers better stability in rough terrain for confident handling.
Unlock Exclusive NorthStar Features
Elevate your ride for work or play with NorthStar comfort and convenience. Climate control, connected tech, premium audio and more deliver an exclusive off-road experience.
Complete Climate Control
The upgraded heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system offers 5 different air flow settings and a recirculation setting to draw air from inside the cab instead of outside for faster, more efficient heating and cooling.
Immersive Sound System
Standard with the Ultimate trim, integrated JBL audio speakers deliver precise audio clarity and premium sound. Run AM/FM radio or connect to Bluetooth via the RIDE COMMAND infotainment system.
RIDE COMMAND
Elevate your off-road experience with the power of RIDE COMMAND—the original, nationwide off-road mapping system. With over 1.3 million miles of verified trails, unique features and pre-installed rear camera, you'll be able to ride with confidence and tackle jobs with ease.
Added Lighting
A rear work light offers added lighting over the cargo box for early morning or late-night tasks. On the inside, an overhead switch panel provides quick and convenient access for additional lighting or accessory add-ons.
Cargo Box Power
Enjoy convenient 12V cargo box power to run accessories or sprayers.
A CLASS OF ITS OWN
NorthStar Edition delivers the same Extreme Duty features as RANGER XD 1500, plus all-season comfort and elevated in-cab amenities.

UNPRECEDENTED CAPABILITY
RANGER XD 1500 is engineered to tackle the toughest jobs with industry-leading capability.
BRUTE STRENGTH
Engineered to be stronger and more durable in nearly every way, featuring longer service intervals, a high-strength, heavy-duty steel chassis, and the industry-exclusive STEELDRIVE transmission.
Maximum Durability and Strength
Our industry-exclusive STEELDRIVE transmission features a 100% steel-constructed belt. It's designed to withstand heavier loads and require less maintenance than the rubber belt design commonly found in other UTVs. Plus, it's fully sealed and liquid-cooled for maximum durability and longevity.
Smooth, Precise Control
STEELDRIVE is electronically controlled to deliver outstanding driveability. Enjoy smooth, predictable throttle engagement and precise low-speed control when backing up to trailers, navigating rough terrain, or spraying a fence line.
Easy Shifting, Quiet Operation
Easily shift between drive, park and reverse gears with a consistent, predictable feel and less effort. The fully sealed design reduces operating noise for a quieter, more enjoyable ride.
Hill Assist
For added control when driving uphill, Hill Assist engages the transmission to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when you let off the brakes or gas. Downhill, the transmission remains engaged to assist in controlling descent.*
LOCK & RIDE MAX
Configure your vehicle for any job, work more efficiently, and get more done than ever before. With virtually limitless configurations and no tools required, you have the freedom to reconfigure on the fly and spend more time getting the job done.
