Renegade vs Trooper

[rockfish777]

After reading as much as I've found, I'm leaning towards a Renegade. I want to be able to put a bench seat in the back for part of the time, and be able to carry a deer , and a tree stand, fire wood etc. Do the Renegades have all the improvements that the Trooper got, and are the 2010 line out yet? What will be the difference between the 09 and 2010? I think for half play trail riding, and half work the Renegade might be better. Can you get the Renegade with power steering or do you put it on yourself. Does anybody know a good dealer near Maryland or Delaware that stock Renegades so I could try one. I don't mind driving a few hours if necessary. Thanks

The Renegade is a very capable machine which is a better commercial option than the Trooper and is almost as good as the Trooper when buying for recreational use. The Trooper's wider and longer wheel base, lower centre of gravity and more power will edge out the Renegade on the trails but with the Renegades huge tray and powerful 812cc you get the best of both worlds. Great choice. The Renegades running gear has had the same overhaul as the Troopers and the 2010 model is out now but not in all stores. Not completely sure of all the differences but I'd say the new axles, new design panel on the hood above the battery is flat which lets you know it's not old stock and I think like the Trooper the 4wd/2wd is cable operated (could be wrong). The big dealers have all the extra add-ons so yes you can buy the powersteering unit and get it instilled by them like this one here http://www.tobefast.com/joyner-renegade-po...r-10000258.html . Three good dealers with lots of extras for Troopers, Renegades and Commandos are McCoy Motorsports, No Limits Powersports and Silverbullet Motorsports.

There are no dealers in Delaware but in Maryland there is two. Fun on Wheels in Frederick 301-696-1911 and Kidnme Motorsports in Whiteford 717-825-0669. The nearest large Joyner Dealer that has a good reputation is McCoy Motorsports in Pikeville Kentucky www.tobefast.com . Their banner should appear up above this thread.

Cheers Mike.

Same as you I really liked the look of the renegade over the trooper. However, decided with the trooper for engine size.
