When you’re on track for an epic adventure, the right gear matters. With GENERAL, you can confidently explore the most remote backcountry terrain and tackle the toughest tasks. It’s the adventure side-by-side that offers more performance, comfort and versatility than anything else in the class.

The GENERAL XP 4 1000 Sport is the most capable crossover SxS. With tilt steering, 64" stance and an upgrade to high clearance A-arms, 30" tyres, Walker Evans shocks, front bumper and a 4,500 lb HD Plus winch, it will elevate your experience and take you to adventures that break new ground.

  • Poly Sport Roof
  • Low-Profile Sport Bumper
  • Polaris HD Plus 4500 lb. Winch
  • 272.16kg dumping cargo box
  • 35.56cm suspension travel
  • High Clearance A-Arms
  • 30" Pro Armor Crawler XG Tyres
  • True On-Demand AWD with Versatrac turf mode

A day of rolling over bumps, ruts, rocks and logs can really take a toll. But thanks to class-leading suspension, smooth and responsive power steering, and stabilizer bars that deliver superior handling, you can put harsh in the rearview mirror.

When you aim to get far away from the crowd, you need a machine that can keep up with your ambition and elevate every off-road experience. With a 64” stance, 30” Pro Armor tyres, all-new Polaris HD PLUS 4,500 lb winch, high clearance A-arms and Walker Evans Velocity shocks, XP is the very best adventure side-by-side off-road has to offer.

I wonder how many people ordered 2 machines with plans to only take one? Seems like double ordering wouldn't help Polaris catch up any faster? Seems to me it would just be adding to the delays. I guess my thought is, if I'm going to order something that is in production delay because of so much demand, I wouldn't add to that by ordering a second machine in hopes that one comes faster. I know there's folks who ordered the Trailhead Edition months after ordering their original, because they were promised August delivery (I think I'm remembering that correctly) on the Trailhead machines. That backfired on some because they fell behind on that promise too. I dunno. We are living in weird times.

July 29 when I ordered, production delay wasn’t as prevalent as it is now if at all. My local dealer was trying to get me a 2021 Factory Custom. Then the run around started! Found another dealer who from that week has updated every week the timeline of my order with them. I hear what you’re saying.

I think it's a dick move on Polaris's part to not get a machine to someone that ordered it in June until April or June of the following year.
But get someone their unit that they ordered in November by end of January .
Like I said I ordered 2 machines, both dealers promised November delivery. One dealer is getting a machine I ordered end of the month . The 1st dealer I ordered from , with a cash deposit won't see my machine until June . Guess I'm a Dick because I ordered 2 units instead of waiting 1 year for the 1st unit I ordered . Guess what that General will be sold in minutes of its arrival at the dealership .

So take out the frustration on the middle man who has ZERO control over the arrival of the machine. But they do have control over warranty work and how timely that is... like I said, do what you want. But then accept the consequences from that decision and realize what kind of reputation your building for yourself...

Trust me service will not be a problem @ the place I ordered the first machine from . I have a 4 place snowmobile trailer filled with Polaris sleds that were bought , servieced yearly and all parts bought at that dealership . I was upfront with the salesman ( actually both dealership know I ordered 2 ) .
So how would you feel if you ordered 1 machine in June 21 and was told November . Then your told sorry won't see it until June 22 ? But you read of guys here that ordered in November and are getting the SAME unit you ordered back in June in January ?

The local dealership who I’ve bought a machine from in the past gladly moved my deposit to store credit. The out of town dealer who is 8 hours away from me who really EARNED my business through this long drawn out ordeal is getting the deal. So yeah I have established relationships with home town dealer and another two states away. So let me be the first to congratulate you when your machine comes in and you get to enjoy the trails with your family and friends

I've had my 22 for about 3 months... only had to wait 5 weeks from order to pickup. Even had all my accessories installed. No backorder on anything for me. Maybe my dealer is a bit better than some? Maybe that's why I've bought my stuff mainly from them the last 15 yrs except a few occasions where I really needed a part and they didn't have it...

I have contacted Polaris via Phone, Email numerous times , the dealer has also . Their response was basically , Sorry we are dealing with a huge backlog and are building the machines as fast as we can , in the order we are receiving them ( which we all know Is BS ) . I know it's not the dealers fault , I don't fault them at all . But had I not been a " Dick " and ordered 2 machines I wouldn't see my General for a year . **** it will be 7 months from order date to delivery on the 2nd one showing up at the end of the month. Then they get to put it together etc . You waited what 5 weeks ? Anyway I understand what you are saying .

How long is the wait for a Polaris general?

The process is easy and requires only a $500 non-refundable deposit. Then, we wait for Polaris to build and ship your vehicle. The wait time on most vehicles is 2-1/2 to 3 months, but we are seeing all four-seat models taking longer – closer to 4 or 5 months.

How long does it take to order from Polaris?

Standard shipping will typically ship via UPS Ground, and these orders can take up to five business days to be delivered.
