2027 Honda FourTrax Rancher 4×4 Automatic DCT EPS

The 2027 Honda FourTrax Rancher 4×4 Automatic DCT EPS is the easy-riding Rancher: Honda’s automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission and electric power steering on the dependable 4×4 platform.

Who the Rancher 4×4 Automatic DCT EPS 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.

What stands out

• Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission. Shifts itself, with an easy single-lever reverse for repetitive work like plowing.
• Electric Power Steering. Speed- and torque-sensitive, so it’s light in tight spots and steady on trails.
• Fuel-injected 420cc engine. Smooth, efficient power sized for real work without big-bore bulk.
• Selectable 4WD with torque-biasing front differential. Traction when conditions turn.
• Shaft drive. Clean and low-maintenance, with no chain to lube or adjust.

DCT EPS vs. DCT IRS EPS

The IRS version adds independent rear suspension with over 8 inches of travel and 9 inches of ground clearance, plus disc brakes on all four corners. The standard solid axle is better for heavy towing; IRS is better for rough-trail comfort.

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 4×4 Automatic DCT EPS 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.

Handling

• DISC FRONT BRAKES: The Rancher model with IRS offers disc brakes on all four corners for excellent stopping performance.
• ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS): Available on both EPS models, our Electric Power Steering (EPS) is both speed- and torque-sensitive, reducing steering effort and kickback through the handlebars.

Performance

• PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION: With a 34mm throttle body, 12-hole injector, and an oxygen sensor, the Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) promptly adjusts fuel mapping to ensure smooth operation, lower emissions, and enhanced fuel efficiency.
• SEMI-DRY-SUMP ENGINE DESIGN: The overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates a compact and lightweight engine that improves handling by lowering the center of gravity and increasing ground clearance.
