2026 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Trail Boss Edition

Command Tougher Tasks and Terrain

Trail Boss offers NorthStar comfort and big capability with arched A-Arms, self-leveling suspension, and active descent control.

Comfort

Premium refinement delivers all-day comfort for the longest workdays.

Protection from the Elements

The factory-installed cab system—including a tip-out windshield and powered front windows—keep the elements out so you can comfortably ride in rainy, snowy or dusty conditions.

Control Your Climate

Factory-installed heating and air conditioning lets you 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.

Immersive Sound System

Elevate your day with audio, thanks to integrated JBL speakers that deliver precise audio clarity and premium sound. Enjoy AM/FM radio or connect to Bluetooth® via the 7" Display, powered by RIDE COMMAND.

Capability

Handle big jobs with ease thanks to the added capability and enhanced work features of RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar Trail Boss

Active Descent Control

Allows all four wheels to engage for controlled deceleration in downhill terrain.

Prepped with Pulling Power

Complete the job or get back on the trail quicker, thanks to the pulling power of a factory-installed Polaris HD 4,500-lb. winch with synethic rope, autostop and wireless remote.

Performance with Precision

Stay smooth and controlled on the job or trail, thanks to 3-position throttle control with available modes. Choose Performance for more response, Standard for balance, or Work for improved low-speed control.

Self-Leveling Rear Suspension

Maintains ride height, even when under load, for a smooth ride.

Durability

Trail Boss gives you the confidence to take on challenging terrain and overcome obstacles in your path.

Effortless Shifting

Command the driver's seat with confidence, thanks to the upgraded Gen 2 transmission. It reduces shift effort by up to 50% to easily shift between drive, park and reverse.

Added Protection

Trail Boss allows you to boldly navigate rough terrain, protected by a  redesigned front end featuring a larger front bumper, plus a full-body skid plate.

Sure-Footed Traction

Relax and enjoy the ride with 29" Pro Armor X Terrain tires. The new innovative variable tread design reduces perceived noise for a more pleasant cab experience while the 8-ply rating provides superior puncture resistance in rugged terrain.

Sealed suspension bushings prevent mud, dirt and water from entering, ensuring your machine runs quietly without routine maintenance.
