Drove the new Rancher 420 yesterday.....The plastic looks good but the mid section plastic (new piece between your knees on both sides) keeps popping out of its mount tab. The black overfenders off the 06 did add some nice flexible protection that the new one doesnt. The suspension seems stiffer than the 2006 which I personally like. The new Fuel injection seems to start nicely and has a somewhat high idle compared to the carb version. The 4wd lever on the left side operates smmothly with only one detent position, nice.... Overall, i like it! Might just buy me one for aggressive trail riding.

 

Can it be shifted in and out of 4wd on the fly???????

 

I surely didnt try to.....I dont think you can but thats something we need to find out for sure.

 

if its manual setup like the warn424, i would say yes, nothing really different between the 2, just have to unload the drive train before putting it in 2wd
