I don't think anyone has removed the headliner yet. Please keep us posted what you find out when you get yours. What speakers are you thinking about getting?

You might kick some tires on a 2024 model to see how good of a deal you can get. It might be worth it if you can save several thousand dollars on a 2024 model and get instant gratification.

I like that color scheme!

That's REALLY fast for a utility machine!

None of the manufacturers do it, to my knowledge, and I don't understand why. I need one on my Defender, and it's more of a pain to install than it should be.

Nice! Well, you started out with the best model for your terrain. I will keep an eye out for any aftermarket snorkel kits.

Kawasaki doesn't offer a factory backup light, but I did find a backup camera that could be handy. https://www.kawasaki.com/en-us/shop/vehicle-accessories/side-x-side/kwf1000drfnn/999740082/ridge-entertainment-package

I didn't see a backup light specifically listed, but I didn't find a full street-legal light kit from WD Electronics. I bet they could help you out with a reverse light solution. https://www.wdelectronics.com/products/tsk-1977

I haven't seen anything from the aftermarket yet. I looked through the factory specs and didn't see a maximum wading depth limit. What model Ridge did you get?

That's good to hear! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum! I haven't heard anything about 2025 models yet, but I believe they announced the Ridge in November last year, so if there are any updates, we should hear about that in the coming months.

Kawasaki just announced that buyers can receive up to $2,000 off new 2024 Ridge and Ridge XR models! Follow the link below to see which models qualify for this $2,000 savings...

I think you will be really glad you went with the HVAC machine in the long run.

I'm glad to hear you are liking everything so far! I'm glad to hear it has some "sport" to it because the Mule is too much of a work machine to be fun.

The newer machines do cruise at a much higher RPM. I know it's pretty common for some of the Polaris machines to cruise in the 5,000 to 7,000 rpm range.

Nice! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the comparison.

That's for sure!

Have you gotten more miles on the Ridge and if so, how's it running?

My experience with gasoline Mules is that they are pretty much bulletproof. My father-in-law has had one on his ranch for over 12 years, and it's been extremely reliable. I think the Ridge will be just as reliable and much more comfortable.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I've had a Ranger Northstar Ultimate and currently have a Defender Lonestar Max. Both of those machines were pretty quiet up to about 30 mph, but after that, I've found anything with a cab gets pretty noisy. Maybe someone will do a sound test with all three...
