2027 Honda FourTrax Rancher

The 2027 Honda FourTrax Rancher is the simplest, most affordable Rancher: a fuel-injected 420cc engine, shaft drive and Honda durability, in two-wheel drive.

Who the Rancher is for

Anyone who wants a dependable, mid-size ATV for chores and trails without the size or cost of a big-bore. The Rancher is easy to live with and easy to maintain, and it’s popular with first-time buyers and experienced owners who simply want it to work. The two-wheel-drive model suits flat land and lighter jobs.

What stands out

• Fuel-injected 420cc engine. Smooth, efficient power sized for real work without big-bore bulk.
• Two-wheel drive. Simple and affordable for level ground.
• Shaft drive. Clean and low-maintenance, with no chain to lube or adjust.
• Solid-axle rear suspension. Made for towing and hauling.
• 1.9-liter front utility box. Phone, gloves and small items within reach.

Rancher vs. Rancher 4×4

The 4×4 adds selectable four-wheel drive with a torque-biasing front differential. If there’s mud, snow or any real slope in your plans, it’s worth it.

Common questions

Why do people pay for a Honda ATV?

Longevity. Honda ATVs have a well-earned reputation for running for years with basic maintenance, and they hold their resale value. On a machine you plan to keep for a long time, that matters more than any spec sheet.

Who can ride a Rancher in Virginia?

Virginia limits riders under 16 to ATVs of 90cc or less, so this is an adult machine. Every rider must wear an approved helmet, and ATVs aren’t allowed on public roads except to cross one by the most direct route.

Can I carry a passenger?

Not legally. Virginia prohibits passengers on an ATV unless it’s designed and equipped for more than one rider, and this one is built for one. If you want to ride two-up, look at the MAX version.
