    Nice buggy, I have the 2021 hd 10 limited. It has door locks. But I think your doors are much nicer, besides can't lock them. I have 7500 miles on mine. Biggest thing I've noticed that has caused the most problems. Is the front suspension. Weakest part of the machine. I highly recommend you grease the fitting every time you wash the machine. The bushings in my opinion are not built big enough for the amount of weight and usage it gets. I was having alinement issues. And found out my bushings were worn. Put the machine up on jacks and shake the tires to see how much play you have.. Easy cheep fix replacing out the bushings and re-alining the front. Keep up with all the maintenance and its schedules. Fyi belt chang at 6000. You get to know these machines after a while. Today I found a coolant leak on mine. Not sure how to get to the dam hose and fitting to repair it.But I'm not paying 120 bucks an hour for some else to fix it. I will figure it out..Good luck with yours . And don't forget get to be on top of your maintenance.

    I've got the same machine in stone grey. Just got it in June. I also have the same complaints as you! For the money we spend on a limited model, should come with everything from factory. Not limited, meaning you have to add. Very nice machine & also bias towards Can Am!

  • @hifax1428

    I looked a Polaris Ranger and Can Am defender! After looking the fit and trim of both machines I chose the Can Am! Polaris has one stupid shifter and their fit and trim was bad and they actually were more expensive than the defender! Everyone I know up north all run Can Am and it’s hard to find one up there because of that fact!
    We love ours and has held up to everything we’ve throw at it hunting and farm work!

    Great review. I'm with you. For 30 grand I would expect some if not all of those issues should be included. If not, an upgraded model with those needed items.
    The company knows these things are what most people want and or need.
    Marketing games. We can add another few thousand dollars for them.
    They are trying to appear as the better value. By removing what you will pay extra for.

    I had a 2019 Cab Model XT. (Basically the same as a Limited without the A/C.) Mine did have door locks and it also had a fancier instrument panel so I agree with that. For the wiper, use a coating like RainX on the windshield, it helps immensely. As for the street-kit, they should offer that model as they already sell it in Europe. You can add it but that's a pain in the ass. For your sake, I hope to god they upgraded the pwr window switches. I burned through those rather quickly. That was my absolute biggest complaint. Other than that, I would still take this over the comp. Better ingress/egress due to door design and extremely tight turning radius for its size. Lastly, good video but lose the mirror shades when filming, too distracting.

    • @GoodysGarage

  • @BrickyardPowerMan

    My ‘21 DL has blue painted panels. Both doors have outside locks though not the ability to unlock from the inside. Has been in the shop for warranty work on pass door not shutting properly so much that it could open while driving. AC wouldn’t come on for a while and the drivers side door window control would not work. The last two items seemed to be common complaints by others. I don’t like the chintzy cable keeping the doors from flying open. Don’t care for the suicide style door either. Responsiveness from the gas pedal in my 1000 cc engine is poor. Nothing like my Outlander 1000 XTP. Hard to see anything in the rear. Believe it should have more factory default features and options. It’s a beast in the trail and I’m the snow. Love the heater in the winter and AC in the summer.

    @EastCoastATV 11 месяцев назад

    I currently own a 2015 Commander with 18000 km (11000 miles) and I will be buying something to replace it in the next year or so. I really like the full cab on the Defender LTD but I cant believe they got rid of door locks. I dont feel safe leaving it parked outside in my driveway that way, and I dont want to have it taking up space in my garage all the time. I also dont like the speedometer, it's cheap looking and not nearly as nice as the current setup in my older Commander. Polaris seems to have copied the old speedometer system from Can Am for their SxS. I also can't believe they don't have turn signals. There are lots of trail systems where they would come in handy and many municipalities allow ATV's to ride short distances on town roads to get gas, food etc. CF Moto includes them on all their machines. Your complaints are not petty. I am partial to Can Am but if I am ready to buy a new machine and a competitor had locks, signals, horn, and better speedo for the same or similar money I'd go with the competitors because they obviously care more about their buyers. In Canada a Defender LTD is 35K plus accessories. That's very pricey for what these machines are and certain features are just expected at that price point.

      I have the same machine but in the 4 door. I have the same complaints, the biggest one being the lack of door locks.
      I just put Beamtech LED bulbs in mine last weekend and they work great. Big improvement over the standard bulbs. Got them on Amazon for $30 dollars a pair.
      I had Driven install the turn signal kit when I got mine back in February. Well worth the money to have that done. I also did the light bar on the front bumper and that makes a big difference as well.
      One other thing I did was I bought a winch remote control kit on Amazon for $20 dollars and it works great.

Yep very low tech, then stereo, ya should have it easier to put in gear. Lights suck. I had to put light bars on mine. FYI, the wipers yep, a slower speed and or a intermittent would be nice and to note, the bastards put a fuse box or a fuse spot for the wipers up under where the stereo would go.
