Textron Stampede has 11" clearance and is a whopping 1650 lbs dry VS ranger has 12" clearance and 1320 lbs dry.
Don't think it will catch on around here...

I don't think weight is to much of a concern on a sxs. The lightest sxs on the market is still to heavy to push out when stuck, it just means a better winch.

I notice a huge difference between my little trail and all the commanders in the family, that's roughly 350 lbs.
But ya I agree, regardless when they're stuck they're stuck regardless of their weight.

So what's so good about this Textron to get excited about over everything else in the market? Don't see how this model stands out?

I think the name change is gonna be hard to catch on up here, Arctic Cat is a well known name.

As long as the springs and shocks are good enough to handle the weight.

As far as the name change I think it's a good thing for the atv/utv side. The name Arctic cat doesn't have the best reputation so it's hard to sell a new product under an old name.
