As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Polaris is marking the milestone with a special-edition side-by-side that pays tribute to the hardworking Americans who help keep the country moving forward.
The company has announced a limited-production 1776 Custom Polaris RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar, a uniquely styled version of its flagship work-focused utility vehicle. The commemorative model combines exclusive patriotic-inspired graphics with a collection of premium factory accessories, while also serving as the centerpiece of a nationwide giveaway recognizing everyday American heroes.
Polaris RANGER XD 1500
Built to Celebrate American Grit
Polaris says the 1776 Custom RANGER was created to honor the people who build, serve, protect and support communities across the country. Rather than focusing solely on the machine itself, the initiative highlights the workers, first responders, veterans, volunteers, farmers, ranchers, tradespeople and community leaders whose efforts embody the American spirit.
As part of the promotion, consumers can nominate themselves or someone they believe deserves recognition. One selected recipient will receive a 1776 Custom RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar along with an all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville to accept the vehicle.
Entries are open through July 6, 2026.

Exclusive Styling and Premium Equipment
With fewer than 100 units planned for production, the 1776 edition will be among the rarest factory-built RANGER models ever offered.
The vehicle features a custom graphics package developed by Polaris’ industrial design team. The design incorporates a subdued American theme with stealth-inspired stars and stripes, exclusive badging, eagle graphics and special 250th Anniversary details integrated throughout the vehicle.

Beyond the appearance package, Polaris equipped the machine with several premium factory accessories including:
- JBL 4,200-audio system
- 50-inch LED light bar
- Rear-mounted winch
- Exclusive 1776 badging and graphics
- Additional premium RANGER accessories
The result is a fully equipped utility side-by-side that stands out both on the jobsite and on the trail.

Based on the RANGER XD 1500 NorthStar
The commemorative edition starts with Polaris’ top-tier RANGER XD 1500 NorthStar platform. Introduced as the most capable utility-focused RANGER ever built, the XD 1500 combines a fully enclosed cab with heat and air conditioning, a heavy-duty chassis and Polaris’ STEELDRIVE transmission system.
Powered by a 1,500cc three-cylinder engine, the XD 1500 was designed for customers who demand pickup-truck-like durability in a side-by-side package. The platform has quickly gained popularity among ranchers, contractors, landowners and outdoor enthusiasts who need serious towing, hauling and all-weather comfort.
With its spacious six-passenger CREW configuration and premium NorthStar cab package, the 1776 edition represents one of the most fully equipped RANGER models Polaris has ever produced.
How to Enter
Consumers can nominate an American hero by sharing the story of an individual who demonstrates resilience, determination and a commitment to serving others. The winner will receive one of the limited-edition machines and travel to Nashville to accept the prize.
Given the extremely limited production run and the unique patriotic theme, the 1776 Custom RANGER is likely to become one of the most collectible utility-focused Polaris models in recent memory.
