Welcome to the forum @terrycj - Congrats on the new Defender! No - I think it's just something you get use to.

Anyone running the PedalMax from JMS on the Defender? Is it worth it? https://www.jmschip.com/jms-products/pedalmax-terrain/

Valcourt, Quebec, September 9, 2019 – For the second year in a row, BRP’s Can-Am dealerships ranked first in the 2019 Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index® (PSI®) U.S. UTV Industry Benchmarking Study. Pied Piper’s annual PSI mystery shopping studies rate American dealerships on the customer service and shopping experience of different powersports brands in the industry. Between September 2018 and July 2019, over 2,000 Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) mystery shoppers visited dealerships to rate their in-person treatment. Among other insights, the study found that dealers selling Can-Am products were most likely to encourage customers to sit inside a vehicle (on average more than 60% of the time), and they were also most likely to ask for the customer’s contact information (on average more than 51% of the time). “We’ve been focusing much of our efforts on providing the best possible experience at dealerships, so to rank first for a second consecutive year is something to be very proud of,” said Delton Bohlman, Vice President, Global Customer Services and Channel Management at BRP. “We want to thank the dealers who do such a great job bringing our customer journey to life on the daily. Not only are they our key partners, they’re a key pillar in Can-Am's tremendous success,” he added. “We want customers to feel the Can-Am difference the minute they step into a dealership, and our dealers have clearly gone the extra mile to deliver an experience that’s as thrilling, fun and convenient as driving our vehicles,” continued Bohlman.

The Defender Limited HD10 package, is available with the Rotax HD10 engine, includes a fully enclosed Cab system with HVAC system. Along with full-seal cab, the onboard, factory-installed Cab kit includes an updated integrated heat management system, air conditioning and an industry-exclusive automatic mode. The auto mode regulates temperatures by operating the heater, A/C and airflow jointly. It is capable, without manual adjustment, of modulating power output of the airflow once the desired interior temperature is met. An onboard compressor improves fuel efficiency while also stabilizing ambient temps and decreasing horsepower loss. HVAC system The factory-installed, integrated HVAC system keeps occupants warm even on the coldest morning and cool and comfortable on the hottest summer day. For climate control, you can select from three different modes: Heat, air conditioning and industry-exclusive automatic mode. Auto allows for temperature regulation, without manual adjustments, by operating the heater, A/C and airflow jointly modulating power output once a desired temperature is reached. A variable compressor allows more cooling capacity at idle, improves fuel efficiency and also decreases hp loss when A/C is not needed. HVAC and more perfectly sealed cabin ensure a dust-free environment to enhance air quality. Relocated air vents provide maximum cooling and heating efficiency. Eight vents (4 front, 2 lower feet and 2 front window) ensure proper airflow. The system also re-circulates air, automatically introducing fresh air, to maintain ambient air temperature and minimize humidity. Similar to automotive designs, an easy-access cabin air filter can be replaced. Full hard roof with liner and dome light A durable, heavy-duty plastic roof with an integrated liner protects the occupants from elements while giving the Defender units a custom appearance and unbeatable fit-and-finish. A standard dome light helps illuminate the cab during low-light situations. Full doors with electric opening windows The Can-am Defender Limited HD10 features full black doors to enclose the occupants within the cab. The comfortable and spacious cabin also offers the occupants protection from the elements and, with an integrated heater, warmth in cool regions. The durable doors have modern, electronic-opening windows for added convenience. Full-glass, tilt-up windshield with wiper and washer kit & rear glass The full, high-grade glass windshield is durable and scratch resistant. It also includes a wiper and washer kit with a 0.4-Gal. (1.9 L) reservoir for improved visibility in wet weather or muddy conditions. The windshield can also be tilted up (three positions) and outward to increase airflow to the occupants during mild conditions. The switch allowing for opening and tilting the front window was enhanced for increased reliability. This package now features a fixed rear window. Premium color options The Defender Limited HD10 is available in stylish Hyper Silver color scheme and the industry-exclusive Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo. The highly durable water-dipped camo finish, exclusive to Can-Am, is more resistant to scratching, mineral deposits and sun fading. More importantly, it lets hunters match their favorite camo manufacturer with their favorite side-by-side vehicle brand. Limited Package Features - 83-in. (211.5 cm) wheelbase - 12-in.

I would expect dealers to be discounting the 2019s at least $2000-$3000 now.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ride! How's the power compare to the Ranger 900?

Has anyone had a chance to test drive the 2020 Defender? I'd like to know how it compares to an older one. Is it much smoother when driving slow? (10mph)

Welcome to the forum @Nekelneh - They should be out now. I'm seeing them listed on ATVTrader with photos: https://www.atvtrader.com/listing/2020-Can-Am-Defender-Max-Lone-Star-HD10-5008707415

Did you did the service yourself or take it to the dealer? What brand of oils did you use? I've had my oil change but need to do the gear box.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ride!

That's going to be a beast!
