2015 Honda FourTrax Rancher First Look

For 2015, the Rancher Automatic DCT incorporates IRS, and there’s more suspension travel at both ends—2.2 inches more in back—plus a new chassis, more ground clearance, a larger, more comfortable seat, larger front disc brakes for added stopping power, a new, larger rear carrier with flat plates for packing and tie-down convenience, and a new easy-to-engage reverse lever, and it’s also available with an improved EPS system. The Rancher Automatic DCT is powered by a rugged 420cc engine, and features a five-speed automatic DCT with improved shift program and shaft drive that’s virtually maintenance-free. Brighter headlights, increased electrical output, more fuel capacity, a larger, softer seat, and a new digital meter package are just a few features that add even more value to the Rancher Automatic DCT. A full line of Honda accessories will be available to complement these models. Price: TBD; Availability: Fall

The rest of the Rancher series with swingarm rear suspension systems also returns for 2015, now equipped with Honda’s new, easy-actuation reverse lever. The wealth of driveline options includes 2WD and 4WD models, manual transmissions, ESP for push-button shifting and automatic DCT. Price: Starting at $5199; Availability: Fall
