love that ranger.. always wanted one of those. what do you have for sleds? i'm toying with the idea of getting a 2nd one, a rev chassis skidoo, but i've never ridden one. some people say they take time to get used to.
Hey DT!

I have a Ski Doo Renegade Adrenaline 600 HO Etec, which is on a REV XP platform. It is the best sled I have ever owned! It's a great trail sled, lightweight and nimble and gives a great ride with tons of power to spare. Starts right up without hesitation even after sitting all summer and fall. When and if it ever dies, I would get another in a heartbeat!

My backup or loaner sled is a Ski Doo MXZ 550 Fan. Good, simple dependable sled but simply doesn't compare to the Etec.

Most Ski Doo sleds put the rider in a more forward and upright position and yes it does take a little getting used to but not that long! I always thought the lounge chair approach I had with my previous Arctic Cats was best until I bought a Ski Doo. I can ride a lot longer on the trails with the Ski Doo than I could on any of my Cats. For me anyway, the Ski Doo is a way more comfortable ride. To each his own I guess.

Dan
