What to Look Out for When Buying Polaris Ranger XD Spare Tire Mounts?
Ranger XD Spare Tire Mount Types
Different Ranger XD 1500 mount types cater to various preferences and it’s up to you to choose which one suits your needs best. Bed spare tire mounts utilize the Polaris Ranger XD bed space, ideal for those who don’t often carry cargo and want a very secure method of transporting spares. Cargo box mounts are excellent for those wanting to retain bed space. Roll cage mounts, on the other hand, prioritize keeping the spare elevated and out of the way. Lastly, hitch mounts, while efficient space savers, can alter the vehicle’s balance due to their rear positioning. Assess your regular needs to determine the best fit and try to balance it with the rest of your setup.
Safety and Stability
Your Polaris Ranger XD spare tire mount isn't just a holding place; it's a safety feature as spare tires tend to be some of the heaviest pieces of cargo one can carry. A mount should be robust, and stable, and prevent any wobbling, especially during off-road excursions. You ought to ensure the design has been tested extensively and boasts positive reviews regarding stability during dynamic driving conditions.
Build Materials and Durability
The choice of material significantly impacts the mount's longevity and weight and should also be considered carefully. Steel, a prevalent choice for many Polaris Ranger XD customers, offers incredible strength and durability, making it apt for challenging terrains. However, its weight might be a concern for some. Aluminum serves as a lighter, corrosion-resistant alternative but might not offer the same sturdiness as steel, especially for heftier tires. While plastic mounts might be available, their durability for rugged conditions is questionable.
Ease of Access
Considering you might need the spare tire in emergencies, the ease of accessing and dismounting the tire becomes crucial. Imagine experiencing a tire puncture in the middle of December while freezing outside. in such instances, having a convenient, easy-to-access Polaris Ranger XD spare tire mount can be a lifesaver. However, do not choose ease of access over safety, security, or durability, as these three should always be prioritized.
