We take the new 2023 Can-Am Outlander PRO HD5 and put it to work by hauling a trailer full of lumber and loading the racks with big rubber mats. See how it fares next to an Outlander XT700 as well doing the same work.

Let us know your thoughts on the redesigned Can-Am Outlander in the comments below.

  • Glad i saw this video. You answered questions i didn’t know I had about the Pro. After seeing this and knowing what I will be using one for I’m leaning towards the pro model.

    As a long time Can AM Outlander owner, I am thinking the Pro models might just be the best option; stiffer suspension, selectable front locker.. seems pretty good.
  • @fredlomangino
    like how you showed the mistake and the trailer flipping, could have easily edited that out. I appreciate seeing it, were all human brother, great content.

    I’m getting the hd7 pro hunting edition not specifically for work but because it comes with the features I want in a quad. Power steering ✔️ Front bumper✔️ Rear bumper ✔️ Full skid plate ✔️ Winch ✔️ Camo ✔️ Visco 4 lock ✔️ Decent speed ✔️ Built in storage ✔️

    I guess you just have a 2” ball trailer now, lol. Nice machine, but I think I will stick with my Honda foreman 520.
  • @PazLeBon
    lol funny when trailer tipped :)

    500 Kingquad rider, work the crap out of it, just hitting 10.000 km, but this unit sounds perfect for what I do with it. I find traction, more than power, is the limiting factor for hauling gravel up hills to fill potholes, firewood out of a muddy bush trail. The extra weight might be a benefit.

    Im turning 15 and i have this HD5. But I’m gonna use it for driving around like to school and work, so I’m waiting to see how it’s gonna do on the road
  • @Rogue_Wave5150
    How’s the new belt on the ‘23. Are they reliable? Or do they break under normal use?
  • @mxg131
    Great review and now I know what make a PRO. I will stick with my xt. Why is can am phasing out the 650?
  • @RockinRack
    This is a pro xu not a regular pro. Got the pro xu hd7 and love it. Less expensive than a grizz or top of the line honda and has more features and feels faster. Would have never bought a can am until now. Been a honda fan. Wanted a Grizzly but saved 3k and got something better imo.

    Looks like a good option. Size seems right too, some ATV's are so big they are ridiculous.
  • @BC_Hunter
    I bought the new HD7 Hunting Edition and I’m absolutely loving it and all the features included.
  • Nice job testing it out. Haven't had one come in yet, but we will. Even people buying utility machines ask about the top speed, or horsepower. Amazing. I expect that from the sport sxs crowd since they might look indestructible and fast sitting still, just add giant tires and every accessory they can cram on their machine then they find out what breaks! You can't hear any noises with that aftermarket exhaust and speakers banging out tunes as loud as possible. Clutches, axles, transmissions, and motors pushed past their limit without proper maintenance or fluid and filter checks. When you tear open an engine that drained itself due to a hole the size of a baseball and a connecting rod with a 90 degree angle near where the piston used to be, and the customer is in disbelief that it might have been their fault, I just go out back to the boneyard and laugh my ass off. Later Stephen.

    Great video. That looks like a good, well-thought-out machine... When it's new. What will it look like in 5 years? Is it a "work machine (therefore predicted to be replaced on the company dime, on a fleet schedule every 4 years)" or a "work machine (this thing better last and work without much hassle and generate a net gain rather than a net loss)"? Good job differentiating the HD Pro from the regular model, that is something the spec sheet won't easily reveal.
  • @Fluterra
    You quoted the price for the “Pro XU”, isn’t the review for the PRO HD5?
  • @BloodPshyco73
    Wouldn’t the Xt perform the same with a different spring pre load setting? They have 5 “clicks” of adjusting
