2009 Honda TRX420FA

The TRX420 was only available in four configurations being either 2WD or 4WD and shifting with a manual foot shift or using Honda's Electronic Shift Program (ESP). However,

Honda introduced the TRX420FA (4WD Automatic) also known as the Rancher AT, as well as electronic power steering. Although the previous generation rancher was available with an automatic transmission, the TRX420 AT and the TRX400 transmissions differed greatly.

The Rancher AT was only available in the first generation design. It was not until 2015 when the Rancher AT would be updated along with the standard models.

Honda redesigned the utility racks to be utilized with the new Honda Pro-Connect™ accessory line. Along with the new rack design, the front fender was altered to fit a storage compartment under the front rack.
