This rack sits between your cargo and your back window, and it gives you a solid rear structure for the gear that makes the Ranger more useful on the farm, at the hunt and on the trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of blocking the factory cargo light, the rack relocates it with an included plug-and-play extension harness, and a cover plate hides the factory location. It is steel and aluminum in two-tone hammer black powder coat with satin black panels, and it bolts on with no cutting or welding. Accessories shown in Elektric photos are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Polaris Ranger 1500 XD winch headache rack is the Polaris Ranger XD 1500 headache rack Elektric builds for the platform. As a Ranger 1500 headache rack with a Polaris Ranger MOLLE panel and a relocated Ranger XD 1500 cargo light, it does more than a basic UTV headache rack, and it is one of the most useful Polaris Ranger 1500 XD accessories and Polaris Ranger XD 1500 accessories for work builds. It fits the 2-seat and crew models, including NorthStar trims, so it belongs on any list of Ranger XD 1500 accessories and Polaris Ranger XD 1500 NorthStar accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects the rear cab from forward-shifting cargo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMOLLE panels for modular mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinch mount provision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight and whip mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelocates the factory cargo light with a plug-and-play harness and cover plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBed still tilts with the rack installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel and aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHammer black powder coat with satin black panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on, no cutting or welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt To Solve: Cargo Hitting the Cab on the Polaris Ranger XD 1500\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoads sliding into the back window under hard braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo rear structure to mount lights, whips or a winch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric racks that block the factory cargo light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRacks that stop the bed from tilting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest For: Ranger XD 1500 Owners Hauling for Work, Farm and Hunt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2024-2026 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 and Crew XD 1500 owners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarm, ranch and job-site crews hauling heavy loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunters adding lights and whips for low-light work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who still need full tilt-bed access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: 2024-2026 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 and Ranger Crew XD 1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Cab protection and rear accessory mounting platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: MOLLE panels, light mounts, whip mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinch: Winch mount provision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCargo light: Relocation harness (plug-and-play) and cover plate included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBed function: Allows bed to tilt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Steel and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Hammer black powder coat with satin black panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: Bolt-on, no cutting or welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Number: R5HRA0001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElektric lists the Headache Rack for the 2024-2026 Polaris Ranger XD 1500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2024-2026 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 (2-seat): Premium, Ultimate and NorthStar editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2024-2026 Polaris Ranger Crew XD 1500 (4-seat): Premium, Ultimate and NorthStar editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment is not guaranteed on applications that are not listed.
