In low range the rubicon will pull just about anything if you can get enough traction. I've hauled about a ton of rocks in a trailer in low range no sweat.

 

Thanks, DieselPro, for giving a lesson on what are (at least to me) the obvious differences between a Rubicon, Rincon and for that matter, a belt drive transmission.

I have never seen more people come out AGAINST a machine that's obviously at the top of the heap for now (and a good share of them are Honda owners!)

Everybody has their opinion, let's just make our critical observations with the realities of the machine in question at hand.

Lets look at the facts....the Rubicon has low gear, the Rincon has a torque convertor.....the low gear will win every time with equal traction.
If you are talking about pulling heavy loads, the dealership will (should) tell you the Rincon isn't made for that purpose.

 

Rincon, Rubicon... there two totaly different machines.....

Honda needs to take the two and merge them together.... They could call it the Ribcon

 

They should make somethind with like 7 gears so 1 and 2 would replace low range cuz its kinda annoying havin to put it in low range. And have it so when ur in esp it acts just like a regular transmission.
