- Are you in the market for a UTV? Have you ever wondered if a Polaris Ranger is right for you on your farm or at your cabin? Or have you ever thought about a classic Jeep CJ to be used as your utility vehicle? Each have many pros and cons, so come along as we look at the good and bad of the new school Polaris Ranger and the old-school, original UTV: the Jeep CJ5!
This video is just for fun, I like both vehicles and they are both great in their own regard. Enjoy!

Jeep: Appreciating in value everyday
Ranger: Depreciating in value everyday
Exactly!
Nice thing about the old jeep is that if it breaks down on you out on the trail, you can probably get it home using a hammer, a couple wrench’s, and a coat hanger. Try that with the Ranger! 😂😎
Rebuilding my 1961 CJ5 right now and have had a side by side. It is no comparison I’ll take the Willys any day!
Thanks for watching!
As a jeep owner myself i prefer the jeep any day, its more useful than that go kart with a bed.
I’d take the Jeep any day. Thanks for a great video
I vote old school!
4hijas haha thank you! I do too but I am a little biased myself 🤷🏼♂️ thanks for watching!
One huge difference between the two is the speed at which you can tackle obstacles and run down the trails. The Jeep will likely go wherever the Ranger will but the Ranger would do it much quicker and much more comfortably than the CJ. That said....the CJ is all sorts of cool and would be the one I'd pick if I had to choose.
We will just have to see what the Ranger looks like in 50 years....
My wife and I are in for a CJ. We did this comparison months ago. I can’t maintain a side by, but anyone can work on an old Jeep.
And $10,000 savings.
As someone who uses a CJ for general purpose off-highway use, there is no comparison. Hitch a 32 ft RV to that ranger and see how far it gets... or recover a buried 3/4 ton Chevy. Good luck!
Cool video man. Nice tuxedo park
Thanks for watching!
You tow a 32 ft RV with a CJ5 ? How 😂
@@petitepatate9727 Around a yard, no problem.
They've been used as 'mules' to tow aircraft for decades.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure you could get a hydraulic dump bed for the CJ back in the day. I vaguely remember seeing it in that old black and white promotional that Willy's made to go over their catalogue of add ons and accessories. It was circa late '40s/ early '50s.
Edit- So I looked it up after typing up this comment and I was wrong. You could get the dump bed for the Willy's pickup. The CJ had a extended bed you could put on the rear so you could throw more stuff in the back and I'm pretty sure I had those mixed up. Here's the vid if any of y'all want to watch it. ruclips.net/video/u7Sle8X4EZM/видео.html
I have a two foot bed extension that I use on my flatfender Jeeps.
Adds or removes just like a tailgate.

Without adding an overdrive kit or a new transmission, changing out the gearing in your differentials will help with your speed issue. That 4 cylinder can get you up to 65 comfortably, on a clear day, but I find if you are going against a strong gust of wind, it will struggle at 65, 55 is more likely in bad weather with a 4 cylinder. Something to play around with.
I agree! If you’d like to watch some of my more recent videos, I did recently install a Saturn overdrive and found out why my little F-head didn’t seem to have much pep. Thanks so much for watching!
My UTV is a 1990 Toyota 4x4 Reg cab short bed.
For purely sentimental reasons, I pick the CJ 5. I used one to hunt mulies and antelope on my uncle’s ranch when I was in high school. Great video.
I’ve owned both. One of my first vehicles was a ‘57 Willys Jeep. I’ll take the CJ-5 any day. Simple to maintain and bullet proof.
The Jeep can rust? Yes. But the Polaris PLASTIC can get old, faded, and crack.
I own the exact same Jeep, just one year older and White in color. :)
That looks like some really nice property and off road comparison of the Jeep and the Polaris. Next video you ought to compare on the road capabilities and then, Oh wait, the Polaris isn't on road legal. Dang. Jeep wins.
Should’ve towed the ranger with the CJ for optimal trash talk!
That is a great idea!
Can't say with this particular side by side, but at my local central Florida off road park 10,000 acres .
On the main trails I often see them stuck in mud because the tires aren't tall enough with the suspension components hanging down and a jeep/ truck ruts
Many times I wait as they get pulled out and effortlessly drive my 3 inch lifted front locked jeep wj right through..many times
Definitely want tires as tall as the jeeps if you want to drive the jeep groove
I pick up my cj5 March 1rst. I vote jeep.
I vote for jeep
No Air bags - we die like a Men! Great \0/
It's in sticker form online lol!!
stand around 15 mins ..........................drive thru the yard , really shows the capabilities of these 2 vehicles - wow
And…what videos have you produced? Share a link, I’ll wait, since you obviously can do it much better.
Nice jeep!
as a Jeeep fan those cjs are known to be horrid rust buckets
I have a 1962 CJ5 21k original miles, F134 and I can do 60 mph, not sure why his can only do 45mph. Maybe the tires? I prefer the old Jeeps over the side by side.
My 74 3 speed goes 70 mph easy

Will that ranger be around in 50 years? Doubtful
In ten years the CJ will be at least twice as valuable as it is now and the Polaris will junked out somewhere.
Jeep wins!
Does the Polaris have heat?
No it does not! Plus for the CJ!
Eu tenho um CJ5 1963 minha filha um Polaris , sempre que ela chegar aos eixos, eu vou fazer o resgate com o meu CJ5 rssssss. quando eu me retiro do pântano eu continuo rebocando para casa para causar risos. rssss.
That jeep is worth around 12,000 you have it’s clean or even mower
Jeeps are better🤣🤣🤣 there both pretty cool
I have a CJ5. 1973. Are those new machines faster, smoother riding? Sure. But my jeep has been around for 50 years and will be around in another 50!
I have a chevy v8 in mine!
Its a versitile platform, i can put the big axles -tranny , tires ect on.... Let me know when your new light weight buggy is scrap , ill come CRUSH it for ya haha.
You look way cooler in a nice vintage American made vehicle!
Unless you LIKE the golf cart look haha.
One is easy to fix noatter what breaks...the other is almost impossible to fix on your own..
The chooce was clear to me 😊
yak yak, nothing.
i have a ranger with cf moto 660cc engine and a 74 cj5 304.
depends on what you doing.
Audio not great
I’m getting better with time, just turn it up 🤷🏼♂️
Try taking that light weigh buggy down that Rubicon trail lmao....
