Need a machine that can haul six people, a cooler, a feeder's worth of corn, and a deer, and still be comfortable at the end of the day? This is a 2026 Ranger Crew 1000 Premium — the current-year workhorse of the Polaris lineup, with 1,000 lbs of bed capacity, 2,500 lbs of towing, power steering, and real seatbelts for all six. It's a utility rig but has done off road trail parks with ease! BEST USES: - Deer leases and hunting camps (season passes, feeder runs, dragging out game) - Ranch and property work, fence lines, brush, hauling material - Camping weekends around Burnet, Llano, Marble Falls and Lake Buchanan - Contractors needing job-site transport for a few days PICKUP: Pickup is in Liberty Hill, about 5 minutes from Minuteman Rentals. Bring your own trailer, or rent one from Minuteman before you come. Handoff is quick: I'll walk you through the machine in ten minutes, we'll do a photo​/​video condition check together, I'll help load it on your trailer and strap it down with you, and you're gone. PRO TIP: Use Minuteman Rentals at 12630 W State Hwy 29, Liberty Hill, TX 78642. Ask for the 6' x 16' utility trailer (item #6527-12) AND the loading ramps — the trailer has no gate, so you need both. Rent the trailer on Friday after 3pm and bring it back Monday before 8:30am and you'll only have charges for 1 night. TOW DETAILS: Your tow vehicle needs a 2" ball, working trailer lights, and a rating of at least 3,500 lbs (half-ton pickup or a body-on-frame SUV — not a crossover). I'll load the Ranger and strap it down with you at pickup; you unload at your destination. Four ratchet straps are included with every rental and must come back with the machine.

Recommendations

Private leases and ranches are the main use in Central Texas, and this machine is built for exactly that. For public trails: Katemcy Rocks (Mason, about 1.5 hrs — rocky and technical), Northwest OHV Park (Bridgeport), and Barnwell Mountain (Gilmer). Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls is 30 minutes away but charges a per-person fee for rented equipment — check their current rate before planning a park day.

Other Things To Note

No public road use. This vehicle is not street legal and road use voids the protection plan. Return with a full tank of 87+ octane; otherwise a $50 refueling fee plus fuel. No water crossings above the floorboards. Water damage to the belt housing or electronics is billed to the renter. No doughnuts, drifting, jumping, or towing beyond the rated 2,500 lbs. Keep tires at or below 24 psi (sidewall max). Pets are fine in the bed, not on the seats. No smoking in the cab. Late return: $40​/​hour after a 1-hour grace period. All four ratchet straps must come back with the machine; $25 each if missing. Pickup only. No delivery, no trailer provided — see "Getting it home" above for the Minuteman trailer option. Age: Must be 25+ in order to book & drive
