2012 Polaris Ranger Diesel Features
ON-DEMAND TRUE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH VERSATRAC TURF MODE
True AWD keeps you moving, automatically engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to 2WD when you don’t. When in 2WD, the VersaTrac Turf Mode switch unlocks the rear differential for easier, tighter turns that won’t tear up your grass.
FUEL EFFICIENT DIESEL POWER
All of the features of RANGER XP, but with an isolation-mounted, fuel efficient YANMAR® diesel power plant for low vibration and lower-speed torque. Plus a fully sealed transmission and plenty of horsepower to get the job done.
MONSTROUS 1-TON TOWING
The strength to tow 2,000 lbs., far more than the competition, means you can tackle the toughest jobs with confidence. Features a standard 2″ hitch receiver.
LARGE DUMP BOX WITH LOCK & RIDE CARGO SYSTEM*
Pallet-size rear dump box has gas-assist dumping operation and features exclusive Lock & Ride cargo system that accommodates many hard-working accessories that go on and off in seconds.
SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS
Cab ergonomics deliver outstanding driver and passenger comfort, including tilt steering with the highest range of motion (10″), extra legroom, and easy cab slide-through design for three adults to get in and out quickly.
INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS) AND HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE
In rough terrain, our legendary smooth IRS and a full 12″ of ground clearance combine to keep the ride smooth for you and your passengers, as well as your gear and equipment.

The only 4-corner adjustable suspension system. Dual A-Arm with exclusive top mounting-point adjustability. Adjust to softer setting for trail riding or stiffer for heavy-duty work. Front: 9.6″ suspension travel. Rear: 9″ suspension travel.
