For 2017, the FourTrax® Rancher® family of ATVs stays true to its hardworking roots, with six models to suit every need. The two IRS Rancher models have frames with an independent dual-arm rear suspension design, with long travel front and rear for confidence and all-day comfort on the trail. The others have an enclosed-axle swingarm that provides optimized stiffness for maximum durability, contributing to great handling along with a smooth ride.
Whether the day calls for hard work or loads of fun, all six FourTrax Rancher models are powered by a torque-laden, liquid-cooled fuel-injected 420cc engine that gets the job done. All Ranchers are assembled in Timmonsville, South Carolina, using domestically and globally sourced parts.
Engine/Drivetrain
- The three Automatic Rancher models have Honda's Automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which provides the compact size and strength of a manual transmission (no belts to slip, break or burn out) with the convenience of an automatic, while giving the rider the option of push-button, manual control via Honda's Electric Shift Program (ESP). The Automatic DCT features a dual shift-mapping program that automatically selects between two transmission shifting modes—either Cruise or Sport mode—for optimum shift timing depending on the rider's pattern of throttle operation. During aggressive use, the Sport mode kicks in and holds the transmission in gear longer before shifting, delivering more aggressive performance. During more casual operation, the Cruise mode allows the transmission to shift up sooner for more casual performance and enhanced fuel efficiency.
- Rugged OHV liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 420cc longitudinally mounted engine allows direct driveshaft alignment to front and rear wheels for maximum drivetrain efficiency.
- Overhead-valve design provides compact engine dimensions for excellent ground clearance while maintaining a broad, easy-to-use powerband.
- On the five 4x4 models, Honda TraxLok 2WD/4WD system offers two drive modes: 2WD and 4WD with TraxLok torque-sensing front differential.
- Super-heavy-duty automatic clutch with a low-rpm engagement point for excellent driveability and towing capability.
- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system provides great power delivery and throttle response, plus high fuel efficiency for great range.
- All Ranchers have a five-speed transmission with Reverse, including an ultra-low First gear. The three Automatic models and the Rancher 4x4 ES incorporate Honda's exclusive ESP for easy shifts with the touch of a handlebar-mounted button.
- Stainless-steel exhaust system includes a USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler designed for quiet operation without servicing, for long-lasting performance.
Chassis/Suspension
- The two EPS models have Electric Power Steering, with ECU mapping that provides linearity in steering response for low steering effort, enhanced maneuverability and minimum kickback.
- Double-cradle steel chassis with a frame developed with Computer Aided Engineering is stiff for precise handling and a smooth ride.
- Heavy-duty trailer hitch with 848-pound towing capacity.
- Twin-headlight system features 35-watt headlights with a focused light-distribution pattern for great visibility after dark.
- Adjustable spring preload featured on all shocks to allow for quick and easy suspension-tuning to match varying loads and riding conditions.
- Non-IRS models have rubber swingarm pivot bushings that yield plush low-speed ride comfort and great durability, and rear brake is located in a protected area inside the right rear wheel for durability and ground clearance.
- One-piece tank/side cover allows easy access (no tools required) for maintenance; aggressively styled bodywork provides good mud protection.
- Honda Phantom Camo™ blends into a wide range of field environments, and Honda application procedures provide durable graphics and resistance to fuel spillage.
- Fuel pump is derived from Honda automobile technology; mounts in the fuel tank for heat isolation and long filter life
- Plastic CV joint boots are durable and tear-resistant.
- Sealed steering knuckle bearings for durability.
- Optimized rider triangle for comfort.
- Full-length synthetic lower skid plate with integrated front brush guard.
