There is no question the Ranger has more performance than the Mule. ie top end, smoother suspension, and more ground clearance. Can't beat the Ranger for hauling butt across a rough pasture either. I think of the Mule like more of a workhorse, and less of a fun machine. The Ranger is probable the best blend of utility and performance...and that is hard for me to say, because I really don't like Polaris products
