How much can the Rubicon pull? I have not read any thing about it.

Porbably reated at around 850 pounds. The amount it is rated to pull will be based on its ability to stop, not the engine's ability to actually pull (Is that not correct?). Product liability lawyers are responsible for this, along with irresponsible people pulling hay trailers with ATVs .

Irresponsible people pulling hay wagons??? Pulling hay wangons doesn't make you irresponsible! We use 'em for that all of the time. You just have to know what you can and can't pull and can and can't STOP.
Later,

I still think for a big red like that, it should
pull up to 1,100 lb.

It may be rated for 850 lbs but it most likely will pull as much as any other 500 class utility bike out there easly.If the 500 Magnum is rated at 1225lbs why would the Rubicon not be?

It is rated for 850 pounds. I just got a sheet in the mail with that notation.
96Cobra-I guess you don't have a product liability lawyer in the family. You say you have to know what you can pull and can't and what you can stop and CAN'T. Well, you would be surprised at the idiotic things people do and say "I thought" or "I figured" and lose an arm or leg or a life and want to sue. You may be much smarter than the average plaintiff, but everyday some nimrod puts his eye out with a weedeater and says they did not know to wear eye protection, even though it was printed on the side of the tool. Such is the world we live in. More stupid people than reasonble ones.
