i dont think its 2012

 

yeah i doubt it... BRp wont release till their occicial release date and dealer shows. and why would they only get ONE? seems fishy

keep us posted though!

 

I'll have a look at the operator manual tommorow. If the manual says 2012, then I guess I gotta believe.

 

My dealer had a 2012 Commander in about 6 days ago. It was a 800 they were setting it up when I was in there to pick up a part for my outlander. I did see the papers saying it was a 2012 model. The salesman claimed there were no changes but, we all know how knowledgeable salesmen can be!

 

If BRP didnt change anything on it. And lets face it they just released it so to go and re engineer the machine would be a huge expense nothing says they didnt change this little thing here move this a little that way. But if they built and sold all there 2011 models and the dealers are screaming for more they would release the 2012 supply.

They could also release them as 2012 machines and then later on release a 2012.5 with some upgrades you never know.

 

just check the vin the 8th digit in from the end is the year of the unit, same on everything.its a 2012 the 8th digit from the end of the vin will be a C, if its a 2011 it will be a B, A is 2010, 9 is 2009 and so on

 

Yip she's a 2012. It also fits in the back of my reg cab 2008 tundra.

 

Hah, that could only mean one thing. U bought it?! Lol congrats if ya did

 

Yep sitting out in the woods with it right now havin a pop. Got a flat tire as we speak, kinda sucks but I'm right next to the house.

 

Check out the last 3 didgits on the diff, mine was 411 the older diff was 410, both diffs have a loud winn. It start around 3hrs in on the runin.
I'm just asking to see if they have chaged anything

 

The last 3 digits are 506 if I remember correctly

 

thats a bummer, first ride and the tire blew.. BUT!! now you have an excuse to upgrade to something more reliable! maybe pitbull tires?? ehhh????!!! lol

is there anything at all different that you notice between the 2011 and 2012?

congrats on the purchase!

 

That could be a differen diff then the old ones then, injoy. That is my only bitch about my commander. Hoppfully i can exchange my diff with the 2012 model

 

Not real sure on differences between the 2011 and 2012 models seeing as though I've never seen a 2011. Got any questions? Maybe if you have a particular issue I can have a look at mine and see if it's been corrected.

 

nothing in particular, just wanted to see if theres any noticable differences or improvements, so far i sopose the diff is different mabe that all? lol

 

So there's no hole in my tire, the bead just wasn't sealed properly. I gotta bring the tire back into the dealer so they can fix it.

Would you guys recommend buying accessories (roof , windshield etc) off eBay or is it just as cheap to buy from online vendors?

Edit: Lewis I'll throw some pics up once I figure it out. Is there small holes in the 2011 that let water enter and escape your floorboards if you go into water? Mine has them and it's great for washing out that area after getting it muddy.

 

Lol no clue man sorry! I dont have one, just a curious guy =D

Good thing the tire doesn't have a hole! =D talk about luck haha

Love the looks of that machine!!! I'm really considering buying one, but want to see if there's issues that need to be resolved so it'll probably be another year.

 

I like the Audio Formz roof with stereo and led lights.
Front a-arm guards and bash plate are worth the money, i have a hole in passenger side floor from running over timber.

 

Hey tricky trev, I just put a hole in my drivers side floorboard. Damn piece of wood came up right between my legs. I noticed the floorboards are sectioned into about 3 or 4 pieces and screwed into the frame--- what did you do to fix yours? Can you buy floorboard sections from the dealer?

 

Hi bud
I've been lazy and haven't fixed it yet. I'ts the size of a cricket ball on the passenger side. I haven't priced a new floor yet, it wont be cheap. The commander is at the shop at the moment having the rear diff looked at. The whine hase been get worse.

 

I bought the BRP 1/2 windshield and right where the crease is... is where I look out.....it sucks big time, I'm to short to see over it..... removed mine and will find something else...if your wanting 1/2 windshield I would be willing to sell mine...Barbara
