2026 Polaris RANGER 500

2026 Polaris RANGER 500 (R26CCA5AB8)

2026 Polaris RANGER 500 R26CCA5AB8 is a new side-by-side utility UTV built to handle real work and real trails with confidence—and it’s available now at MotoMember in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Finished in a sharp Gray, this RANGER delivers the right blend of manageable size, strong capability, and everyday comfort for property owners, hunters, and jobsite crews who want dependable performance without stepping up to an oversized machine.

Designed as a practical, do-it-all 2-seat utility platform, the RANGER 500 focuses on traction, control, and usability. With selectable AWD and VersaTrac Turf Mode, you can move from soft lawns to muddy access roads without tearing up the ground or giving up grip when conditions change. Add in a factory 2,500-lb winch and a gas-assist dump box, and you’ve got a ready-to-work package that’s equally at home hauling supplies, pulling a trailer, or clearing a trail.

Why this RANGER 500 works so well
The RANGER 500 is sized to be easy to maneuver around barns, gates, and tight trails, yet it brings serious capability with 1,500 lbs of towing, a 1,000-lb payload rating, and a 300-lb dump box for feed, firewood, tools, or gear. The selectable AWD and Turf Mode help you stay productive across changing terrain, while the independent rear suspension and generous ground clearance keep the ride controlled when the path gets rough.
