I'm thinking about trading my Ranger in on a General, but I'd like to know if it has an open rear diff. I really like my locking/unlocking rear diff in the Ranger, so I can use it around the house without tearing up the grass.

Thanks!

No, the General's rear is locked all the time.
When I drive in the yard, I try to not make any tight turns, keeps the wife happy.

Would an open diff be a weak link in the drivetrain with 100 hp. Looking at the different environments and modifications done to the General such as tire sizes etc, I wonder if the rear main diff would hold up. This is a modified RZR not a modified Ranger. ??

closed or open dif should not be a big deal because of horse power,my last 2 f150s u just pull the 4x4 switch out to lock.and all speed related.i miss my turf mode on my ranger:frown2:it was prob easier for polaris just to run rzr dif

They could easily design a locker.
I've had em in the last three Yotas i've owned.

Thanks for the info- Though it's not what I wanted to hear. It may be a deal-breaker. My Ranger is pretty big and I planned on lifting the General...

next years model has a turf mode like the ranger that opens the rear diff:grin2:the front is always locked.when the awd system is engauged.

Do you happen to have a link? I did a search and was unable to find that info. Thanks!
