Looks like they increased the MSRP's to cover all the 2012 recalls... Good updates for this year though.

I'm sure glad people know how the 2013 sleds are running. If you don't like your sled sell the damn thing and go to poo page.

15k for a sled?
Holy ****

Looking at the picture of the telescoping handlebars I'm seeing a tether bottum left corner? Seems like a bad spot if your leaning over far to the right, comes stock???

The 1100 turbo comes with reverse! That would be nice if you can use it. 38 inch stance, vertical steering, and 2.6 lug are all nice improvements

Cat has two great sleds in their 2013 line up..the f5 and the 570 are the two winners i pick out of their line up....yep...when ya come to a tunnel and the truck is to high to go through,some will take the big step and blast that tunnel bigger and better...or you can do it the easy way like Cat and just take some air out of the tires..

I really like the Orange Sno Pros and the Black LTDs.

Those that are interested tell your dealers soon you want a 162" option in the LTD. The White LTD and Black 50th 800s last year came about from consumer and dealer requests. Enough people ask and they may build them.

Now we know what Doo sued them over. The heated goggle bag. LOL

From what I saw, just a couple added small features and BNG and a much larger price tag.

I heard that Doo sued them because Ac stole the belt issues from them:face-icon-small-ton

The 2013:s looks really nice, maybe it is going to be a cat after some years on Doo...

nice improvement

Looks like cat did their homework.
Lots of changes that were needed to make the -13 to be better than -12. And guys for you who wants more, you can't expect a new lineup every year. Cat is doing a great job, improve what needs to be improved on this lineup. I also read about lower engagement on the M800, probarly they shimmed the primary different, will do much for longer belt life if that is what I expect.
And a new track is awesome, 2.6" is great! A new standard!
Great job cat!!
Might go back to cat this year

I agree good job. Making a good sled better by upgrading ie. steering and track and fixing problems. Every good manufacture does this. Every year you will see little changes and soon cat will put a new engine in that chassis.
