The new RANGER 1000 CAB expands on the RANGER 1000 Premium by adding an enclosed cab and factory installed heat. Features include:

  • A factory-installed enclosed cab with a fixed glass windshield to keep operators comfortable with added protection from the elements – whether operating in rain, snow or dusty conditions.

  • A factory-installed 4,500-pound winch with synthetic rope, auto stop and wireless remote to efficiently complete the job.
  • A full-coverage front bumper designed to withstand tough off-road conditions, providing robust protection.
  • LED headlights that enhance lighting to help extend working hours.
  • A 61-horsepower ProStar engine delivering smooth, quiet power to get the job done.
  • Class-leading 1,000-lb. box and 2,500-lb. towing capacity to carry more in fewer trips.

 

RANGER 1000 CAB is backed by a 1-year warranty, available in a 3-seat only, and comes in different color options including Granite Gray and Mirage Beige.

 

2027 RANGER XP 1000 CAB
The new RANGER XP 1000 CAB is available in a 3-seat or CREW and comes equipped with a factory-installed enclosed cab with heating and air conditioning to comfortably operate in all seasons. Features include:

  • A factory-installed enclosed cab with a fixed glass windshield and powered front windows to operate more comfortably in rain, dust or snow.
  • Factory-installed heating and air conditioning to control the climate for all-season comfort. For quick relief on hot days, a variable AC compressor automatically varies its pumping capacity to deliver faster cooling and lower temperatures, even when at idle and low engine RPMs.
  • An 82-horsepower ProStar engine and a 3-position throttle control with different drive modes allow the operator to stay smooth and controlled for enhanced capability.
  • 29-inch, 8-ply Pro Armor X Terrain tires with a new innovative variable tread design reduces perceived noises for a quieter cab experience and improved awareness of surroundings. The 8-ply rating provides puncture resistance in rugged terrain and the 14-inch ground clearance clears obstacles with confidence.
  • Class-leading 1,000-lb. box and 2,500-lb. towing capacity to carry more in fewer trips.
