Little Sahara, Utah with Can-Am
Pre-Release Testing the Can-Am Commander 1000 XT and 1000 X at
Little Sahara
April 2010
I had the incredibly opportunity of being invited by Can-Am to join them at the
Little
Sahara Sand Dunes in Utah to test out their newest vehicles. The Can-Am
Commander 1000 XT and 1000 X weren't due to be released to the public until
June 8, 2010, but there I was driving around the dunes the dunes in a
pre-release version of the Commander 1000 X.
The Can-Am engineers had brought along a Commander 1000 XT and 1000 X and wanted
real-life enthusiasts to test them in an environment that they were familiar
with. Well, I live for carving up the dunes in a UTV, so I was like a kid in a
candy store.
We spent an entire day ripping around the dunes in Commanders that had black
mesh fabric over them so they wouldn't be quite as noticeable and we tried to
avoid other users in the dunes as much as possible.
At the end of the day, I provided feedback to Can-Am on everything about this
new side x side. I was very impressed with how well the Commander's performed
and the fit and finish of the pre-production units. I really think that Can-Am
was smart to enlist the help of enthusiasts in a variety of terrain to help
flush out any problems before production began. They will end up with a
more solid product because of it.
I cannot wait to get my hands on a Commander 1000. This UTV is awesome!
