Reviewing the 2022 Polaris General Trailhead XP 1000 - Way Too Fun!

You may be wondering, what is a 4-wheeler like the Polaris General XP 1000 doing on our site? We know we typically spend our time testing and reviewing two-wheeled fun machines, but when Polaris reached out with this opportunity, we couldn’t say no. We were invited to Troy Lee Design’s in Laguna Beach for the unveiling of Polaris’s 2022 Trailhead Edition General XP 1000. Near the end of the event, they asked if we would be inclined to try out the 4-seater for a review, without hesitation we said, “HELL YES!” So, let’s see what kind of fun this ultimate shuttle rig got us into.

Polaris’s 2022 General XP UTV line blends the best of both worlds, taking suspension performance and design from the RZR SXS and utilitarian features from the Ranger UTV. Polaris gave the General XP 1000 a liquid-cooled ProStar 1000 4-stroke engine. The 999cc motor produces fun and manageable 100-horsepower. The motor is mated to an Automatic PVT transmission that pushes out the power to Polaris’s 3-mode drive system. The three modes of the system are On-Demand, True AWD, 2WD, and Versa Trac Turf Mode. Steering is smooth and precise thanks to Polaris’s use of High Output electronic power steering. The 2022 General XP 1000 can be slowed quickly thanks to 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes that use dual-bore calipers front and rear.

The 2022 Polaris General XP 1000 Trailhead Edition is a special edition UTV that comes with a light bar, bed rack, winch, and custom embossed graphics. Overall, it’s a spectacular vehicle with creature comforts and an interior that makes us jealous our daily driver isn’t as fancy. Polaris group ride features, cameras, and sound system all make for an incredibly fun and special experience. That’s not to say it’s perfect as the short wheelbase of the 2-seater combined with the soft suspension could require a bit more suspension tuning for super aggressive drivers who are regularly cornering sharply at high speeds.
