Ok I'm learning lots here this is good. I didn't realize there's an XP1K with a turbo option, that's interesting. So what's the difference between the Turbo R and the XP1K with a turbo? They both seem to have the same power plant. Is it just width?

I'm not really intending to throw a lot of money into the engine no matter which machine I go. Was just part of my thinking that why pay for the pro when you can take the price difference and end up with way more power by modding yourself.

I have a RZR XP 1000 NA love it, but there is one problem. I do wish it was a turbo, that extra power is needed at times.

I have driven the turbo version and driven a Pro XP. Very nice much better comfort, suspension and power. I haven't driven either of PRO R or the Turbo R. Would love to have one, but out of my price range. 😕

I bought the 2024 xp 1000. I have buddies with the turbo r and have drove their machine. If you are after the power and the dynamic suspension then you are looking at the turbo R. None of the xp 1000,s have a dynamic suspension option. I do mostly east coast riding , Hatfield McCoy trail systems, ride royal blue in Tennessee and places in PA like Rock Run. I have no problem staying up with the turbo RZRs on these typ trails and my ride quality is good. I have 500 miles on the 2024 so far . I went to Arizona last year with the turbo R crew and yes they could get out in front real good on the straight aways! I had my 2018 xp 1000 then. I bought the 2024 RZR XP 1000 as I do about 4,000 miles a year of trail riding so I need a new machine after 10,000 miles. I am happy with 114 hp for my style of riding! I was just honest with myself, horsepower is nice but how much do you really need . I am almost 69 years on this earth and having fun is the goal!

There's no such thing as a XP1000 with a Turbo option.

The XP Turbo (it is a 925, not a 1000) hasn't been sold since 2021. It was replaced with the Pro XP.

So right now the RZR lineup of the performance models is:

XP (1000 N/A 114 HP 64")

Pro XP (925 Turbo, 181 HP 64")

Turbo R (925 Turbo, 181 HP, 74.5")

Pro R (1997 N/A, 225 HP, 76.5")

All available in 2 or 4 seat models.

Pro R and Turbo R are both listed as 74” wide, but are closer to 75-76” at ride height on the tape measure.

OP, think of the Turbo R as a Pro XP with Pro R suspension. The Pro R is longer, slightly heavier, and has a little beefier drivetrain.

IMO, the Turbo R is the best all-around car on the market, but if I was planning on adding power I would start with the Pro R.

So the PRO XP doesn't have Dynamix and is 64" whereas the Turbo R has Dynamix and is 74". Any other differences? I'm not chasing power so the Pro R is just too much for what I do. Plus in Canada it's a big difference in price, minimum an extra $10k and I just don't need to spend that for power I'll never use.

Any major reliability issues with the Turbo R I should know about? Are accessories as easy to find for the Turbo R as they are for an XP model?

Oh and I guess I should mention, I run a plow blade on my machine all winter to deal with snow on the acreage. I don't imagine there's any cold weather issues with the Turbo but now is a good time to ask. Machine is always parked in a heated garage when not in use but on some days I'm clearing snow when it's -30C.

Dynamix is in the higher end packages on both the Pro XP and the Turbo R, not standard on either.
I think the drivetrains are the same between the Turbo R and Pro XP, but the Turbo R has much lower low range in the transmission.

I went through the same dilemma, PRO XP or Turbo R. My friends steered me towards the Turbo R and I couldn’t be happier with that choice. I bought a new 2023 Turbo R Ultimate and paid $30,000.00 in December. Of course I have thrown another $3k + into it but what a machine. I would have bought the Pro R but it was $5k more. It is a much better machine than the PRO XP, built much stronger! Do your homework on the comparison, the Pro XP and the Turbo R are not “basically the same machine“.

I couldn’t find any snow plow mounts for my Turbo R, I’ll have to modify something.

Do you do any steep rock climbing?
I have been looking into the 24 XP 1000 because of all the new improvements form top to bottom.

Same body, chassis and engine, but yes a few differences. Other then the obvious beafier shocks and long travel also found on the pro R, the turbo R has a lower "low", newer 3 piston front calipers, and 5 lug wheels. It's also over 200 lbs heavier. When comparing apples to apples, the pro xp will always be a faster car
