The 2008 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon TRX500FA spells dependability and is a trustworthy partner even in the tightest of situations. Built to offer transportation and working power in the most inclement of scenarios, this ATV boasts Honda's sealed Hondamatic automatic transmission and power steering for less kickback on rocky trails and low-speed turning with less effort.
A torque-sensitive front differential adds extreme convenience to the selectable 2WD/4WD power deployment schemes, while preload-adjustable shocks provide the necessary ground tracking capability for the rough terrain, while hefty loads can be accommodated on the steel racks. Likewise, this half-liter class ATV sports an impressive towing capacity for working out in the open.
