Honda Rancher 4x4, what was difference from 03 to 04? Subject says it all. What is the difference in the 2 models. I noticed one of the atv mags said that the o4 is a improvement over 03 model?

 

I think that the only difference from 2003 to 2004 for the 350 is the body. Like plastic, lights and pushbar. Also I think that the price is different.

 

Those items you mention would not make the 04 better over the 03? the mag said the 03 had issues that needed to be fixed. and the 04 was better.;

 

I do believe Coyotechaser is correct if you are comparing the 350 Ranchers. The chassis, suspension, engine and drivetrain all remain the same.

 

Blazer, you know there is the 350 and the 400AT (automatic), both called Ranchers, right???? As far as I know, the 03 and 04 350's are identical, except for different plastic. The 400AT, is all new, and shares the same plastic with the 350..

 

i think hes right!

 

Doesn't the 04 have brake lights too? A first for U.S. Ranchers.

 

Now the auto trans is different. So i guess the mag didn t like the older version. Mag i am reffering to is ATV Rider the December 2003 issue. The rancher won the shoot out in the 400 4x4s.

 

That article was the new 400AT.
