This Ranger EV has 1500 pounds of towing capacity.
Polaris Industries today announced a first in the off-road sec, the Ranger EV Li-Ion Pursuit Camo with more than twice the range on one battery charge – up to 50 miles – then the lead acid version. It will go on sale in September.
With fewer, lighter weight lithium-ion batteries the he off-road vehicle is 462 pounds lighter, and therefore accelerates faster, than Polaris’ lead-acid battery option. It has a single 48-volt AC-induction motor that provides the propulsion.
The driver can select from three modes of operation: High for everyday use, Low for hard work and Max Range for greatest distance. The new system has a Battery Management Controller, which continuously monitors battery usage for a more accurate representation of battery life. A Vehicle Control Module has a new digital gauge with speedometer and improved accessory integration. Accessories such as the Electronic Power Steering kit and an Interactive Digital Display are now easier to install. The vehicle also is equipped with on-vehicle diagnostics for easier servicing.
This Ranger EV has 10 gallons of in-cab storage, 1500 pounds of towing capacity, a 500-pound gas-assist rear dump box and a 1000-pound total payload. The vehicle also is equipped with all-wheel-drive. When selected, the one-wheel drive VersaTrac Turf Mode plus high-pressure, 20 psi, 25 inch Carlisle “turf-friendly” tires ensure a lighter footprint on lawns and other terrain.
