FourTrax Rancher ES/FourTrax Rancher
Over the years, the ready-and-willing FourTrax® Rancher® has proven itself to be a dependable partner from sunup to sundown, whether the day calls for work or fun. A second version offers Honda’s remarkable Electric Shift Program (ESP®), which allows for easy shifts with the touch of a handlebar-mounted button. Factor in a powerful liquid-cooled fuel-injected 420cc engine and more, and you’ll see why the FourTrax Rancher has long remained a favorite.
With six models in our Rancher lineup, we’re sure to have one that suits your needs perfectly. Every one offers Honda’s legendary dependability and quality. Then there’s the lineup itself: You get to choose between selectable 2WD/4WD (TraxLok), Programmed Fuel Injection, two-wheel-drive, four-wheel-drive, and two transmission choices (semi-automatic and electric shift), there’s no shortage of cutting-edge capability and features.
From our tough, no-frills 2WD Rancher through the Rancher 4×4 ES you can be certain there’s a machine for you, and even more important, for whatever chore, hunt, expedition or trail you aim to tackle. Is it any wonder the Ranchers are America’s best-selling ATVs?

2011 Honda FourTrax Rancher ES TRX420TE Features:
Shifting’s Never Been So Easy
With Honda’s optional handlebar-mounted, push-button Electric Shift Program (ESP), quick, crisp gearshifts are just a thumb-tip away.
Two-Wheel Drive? Four-Wheel Drive? You Decide.
Honda’s TraxLok system lets you choose between 2WD and 4WD with the push of a button. You can even choose on the fly! Two-wheel drive gives you lighter steering, while four-wheel drive gives you improved traction. It’s the best of both worlds.
Absolute power. Absolute workhorse.
ATV owners work hard, so they need an engine that works hard, too. Like this 420cc fuel-injected taskmaster boasting power, torque and bulletproof Honda reliability.
Electric Shift Program (ESP) – Upshifting or downshifting is easy and fast—just push one of two handlebar-mounted buttons. ESP is a huge advantage when riding in heavy boots, or if your boots are covered in mud or snow.
TraxLok® Selectable 2WD/4WD – This invaluable feature allows a rider to shift, via a front-panel-mounted lever, between 2WD and 4WD for maximum versatility during tough chores or on uneven terrain. (4×4 Rancher models only.)
Semi-Dry-Sump Engine Design – Our semi-dry sump design and overhead valve design give you an engine that’s shorter from top to bottom. The compact engine both lowers the center of gravity and increases ground clearance.
Fuel Injection – The Keihin fuel-injection system, featuring a 34m throttle body, delivers crisp, seamless performance while ensuring hassle-free operation in cold conditions and varying altitudes.
