Honda FourTrax Rancher 4x4 EPS DCT Performance Guide
Engine performance: usable torque for trail and work
The FourTrax Rancher uses a 420cc liquid-cooled, longitudinally mounted single-cylinder four-stroke engine. In real riding, this layout is all about predictable throttle response and steady pull—useful when you’re climbing loose grades, creeping through ruts, or moving gear around property.
Transmission & driveline: DCT control with 4x4 traction
This Rancher trim features a five-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) with reverse. The DCT setup is designed to deliver smooth, repeatable shifts—helpful when you’re alternating between slow technical sections and faster two-track.
Power is delivered through direct front and rear driveshafts and a torque-sensitive locking front differential. When traction changes, that front differential behavior can help the ATV keep moving forward without feeling unpredictable.
Work-ready capability: towing, racks, and maneuverability
Performance isn’t only about speed—on an ATV, it’s also about how confidently you can haul, tow, and turn around in tight spaces. The FourTrax Rancher is rated for 848 lb towing capacity and has a 9.2 ft turning radius, which can make a noticeable difference when you’re navigating gates, staging areas, or narrow trail junctions.
