Well, we bought an Xpedition

[Splitt43]

My lovely wife decided that she wanted an Xpedition. (she likes her creature comforts) So we traded in our 2018 RZR XP1000 on a '26 ADV 2-door. The 2018 RZR XP1000 was a spare that we loaned to family and friends who came to visit and it was not used frequently. I have installed fender flares, toolbox, visors, mirrors, WD Electronics turn signal kit w/ sequential lights and hazards and rock lights. I still have to install a phone mount and spare USB ports.

So, at our home, we currently have a 2021 General XP1000 that is used almost every day for various tasks. At our vacation house we have our 2023 RZR XP-Pro for rock crawling and trail riding and the Xpedition for trail riding and quick, around town trips.

My impressions on the Xpedition in the first six months of ownership are:

Pros:
It has a comfortable seating position.
The A/C works good up to about 100° F.
The interior layout and ergonomics are well thought out.
The clutch is predictable with solid engagement.
The suspension is compliant in rough terrain.
Fully lockable cab doors and rear window. (this is the first SxS we've owned with them)

Cons:
It's a pig weight wise.
Handling is so-so. (mainly due to its weight and the top heaviness) I'll play around with the suspension settings to see if I can improve this.
Driving down the highway into a headwind sucks. (I'm used to more power on the top end)
Working on it or doing basic modifications takes three times longer than any SxS I've ever worked on.

Overall, it's not too bad. Just different.

Stock they are way to tippy. Added SATV long travel to mine and now it's great

Welcome Split!
I have few thoughts on your Cons:
Cons:
It's a pig weight wise. Well, all the creature comforts come with weight. But, I'm told I bought myself an "old man's" "offroad" "Caddy". This
is a fitting description. My crazy, daring, disasterous days are long gone. I like the creature comforts of the cab. The ADV provides storage for
all sorts of things, dry and locked.
Handling is so-so. (mainly due to its weight and the top heaviness) I'll play around with the suspension settings to see if I can improve this. I would agree. Following the thought of another owner, I have added 1 1/2" wheel spacers. Doing so has given me more confidence cornering on asphalt. I don't go fast enough off road to notice handling issues. The Xpedtion is, I recall, 64" wide. The spacers added it's up to 67" wide.
Here in the West, my home is Colorado, there are getting to be more restrictions on width. In Utah the FS has actually set 6 inch steel pipe in concrete, 60" wide inside to inside of the posts.
Driving down the highway into a headwind sucks. (I'm used to more power on the top end) By adding the Gilomen Innovations ECU tune and clutch kit you'll gain another 10 to 12 hp. Driving on the highway, I do as little as possible.
Working on it or doing basic modifications takes three times longer than any SxS I've ever worked on. I must disagree. I find it easier to work on than my RZR800 or General. It's taken me a bit to figure out how to do things, Afterthat, not bad at all.

All in all, the Xpedition is my favorite. I had a Talon, but rolled it, totaled it.

Hey Pirate, I remember you from the Polaris General Forum. I remember you got rid of the General and bought the Talon.

I sold the General as I had put four transmissions in it. Doing so is one huge PITA. Sold it at a huge loss. But that's sunk money, so didn't expect a lot. GONE!

Bought a 2024 Talon X because of the drivetrain and especially for the transimission. But the heat in the cab was incredible. Spent a lot of money on efforts to reduce that heat. Unfortunately got on a too narrow trail and rolled it down a rocky slope. Neither of us hurt. Some things disappeared in the rock. Insurance totaled it. Amazed to find out I had 0 deductible and replacement value.

Bought the Xpedtion for the interior comforts, the ADV basically a camper shell over the bed. Just seemed to be a much better machine.
Now, if this retired Engineer can find the time to go ride....
