I am getting ready to buy another Honda. Either a Foreman or a Rubicon. The 05 Foremans have traxloc, the 05 Rubicons don't. What exactly is traxloc & is it better. I use my 02 Foreman for trail riding, mud slingin (lots of it, got 28" zillas & lift kit) & work around the house.
I'm not worried about the cost difference, just the right bike for what I do. I plan on fixing the new bike up with big tires, lift kit ,pipe & all of the other crap it takes to get all busy in deep mud. My main question is the traxloc thing. Did I mention I do alot of muddin?

 

the 2005 Rubicons DOES have Traxlox...if you have a 02 Foreman, you have Traxlox...it is your 2wd/4wd selector next to your throttle.

Ok did some research. Traxloc ain't nothin but the name of the 2x4 to 4x4 switch.

 

The 04 model rubicon did not have traxloc. Its a full time 4wd machine like the old Foremans were. I believe the new 05 Foremans and Rubicons both are now equipped with traxloc..my 04 foreman has it and it takes less a toll on you riding in 2wd. I have a friend who bought a new 04 Rubicon which he absolutely loves except for the fact that its full time 4wd. They are both nice machines..
