2026 Xpedition release date

[scottphillipsent@charter.]

New to this page, Ranger XP1000 NorthStar owner looking to upgrade soon and have 3 questions.
I googled it and it said March 6th 2025. Could that be true?

1. • When will the 2026 be available?
   • Will it have the new shift EZ updates?
   • Will there be a Motor upgrade?

What's the shift EZ update? With this being on ly the second year I doubt any changes to the motor will happen.

The 2025 Ranger has what they call a Gen2 shifter and they shift very smoothly now.

My 25 shifts fine.I wouldn't let that hold you back.

It's a totally different transmission, not just a shifter.

I know just referring to what it is called on the Website. Thanks

I believe the Regular Ranger (with the CVT) has new and improved shifting. I have no issues with my Xpedition or my Turbo R shifting.
As far as anything new for '26 I don't expect anything but color changes.
Add either a turbo or the 3 cylinder engine and the price will go up even more. People already complain now..
A lot of us would like long travel and a turbo from the factory but not at 60k

As far as the new steel belt transmission on the new Ranger 1500HD goes- I will never buy one. Way too much to go wrong.
