Dragoon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Smoother slow speed acceleration and deceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersix Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'd like to see a Defender Max XTP model released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I agree with Dragoon on the slow speed issue, my brother's Polaris and my Father in law's Kawasaki don't do that. I'd also like the front dash cup holders to have a lighted halo around them so I can find in the dark. Might as well make the gear labels lighted as well. The soft doors I have could be improved if they used a better frame instead of the wire frame so they fit correctly and didn't have to be constantly adjusted or slammed shut. I'd like them to offer a center review mirror that isn't parabolic. They could add a tiltmeter to the dash gauges. Make the dash lights a little dimmer. Make the nets for the front dash shelves with more elastic so you can get stuff in and out. Replace the headlight bulbs with LED. Put a little bigger CV boot protector on the Lonestar and XT models that have the curved A Arms or offer one as an accessory for those models. Add a filter/screen on the fuel filler. Make the 4wd switch so you can throw it on at any speed. Maybe integrate some courtesy lights into the footwell areas in the front and back. Other than that it's perfect. I have had problems with the DPS and also smelling raw fuel vapor after about an hour of riding but I'm not sure if those are design issues yet or just a problem with mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 You are spot on, Mark! I love your ideas for improvements. If Can-Am added what you suggested it would definitely be the best UTV on the market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan45acp Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This might sounds a bit odd but I would like to see a PTO on the Defender and then make a front mounted snow blower for this rig running off the PTO. I just cleaned up my drive way a few days ago from 55 cm snow storm...lol...this option would make cleaning the drive way out Fun! And when has "Fun" every been used in the same sentence as cleaning 55 cm of snow out of a drive way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A PTO would definitely open the Defender up to a world of accessories! Polaris has the Brutus line that has a PTO I believe, but I don't think it has sold all that well 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersix Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 I could see a PTO option on a Diesel Defender. And if we get that I would like to see one include an onboard generator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Here is a video of a hydraulic snow blower on the front of a UTV. They put the pump in the bed of it and it looks like it's working pretty good. I'm not sure it would handle 55cm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Now that would make snow removal fun 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Looks like they have a defender XT-P model now that has fox 2.0 shocks on it. I can't see where you can actually buy the fox shocks for the defender but I may be missing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
