Default Rancher 350??

My health teacher has a Rancher 350 2x4 and she said it will do 63mph??? I kinda laughed. Please confirm me that it is not possible.

My rubicon has done over 80mph when being towed on my trailer behind my truck.Under it's own power the only way stock rancher will do 63 mph would be if it was driven down an extremely steep hill.

It is surprisingly quick for a utility. Remember that it is is geared higher than the 4X4's, and is (minimum) 100 lbs lighter than anything else in the mid to large class. So it has some advantages that may not be readily apearent. It might do 63, but I wouldn't want to bash any whoops at that speed!!

We rented a 2-wd drive Rancher and I got 53 mph out of it and actually thought there was a little left. Long flat graded gravel road. Never had our 4-wd over 45 mph, never had a reason to.

i can get 79 km/h on a flat road with my 4X4 rancher and about 86 on a small hill, but the rev limiter wont let it get much higher

I've had mine going at max 51 mph on flat hard packed dirt road. I highly doubt your teacher had her's up to 63. I've known other people who have had their's up to a max of 53 mph.

Thankd

If my Rancher 2x4 were dropped from an airplane, I imagine it would hit 63 mph. Otherwise, best it has ever done is 53 mph, on pavement, downhill. Rev limiter will not let it do any better. Your teacher better stick to health issues, because her math is questionable[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

i got my friends 4x4 rancher 55 down a hill. So i would guess like 51 52 on flat ground for a 4x4 and like 54 for a 2x4

I got 52 out of my 2wd rancher, a flat gravel road and probably get a little more on a paved, but no way 63!!! That just can not be, unless they accedentlly (SP) put a 400ex motor in at the factory[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
