Best comparison on youtube hands down! I think im going with the foreman for my next bike. The only reason I was considering the Rancher is because where I live in Newfoundland Canada you see a lot of older Ranchers still in great running shape compared to the foreman but im thinking its probably just because they are cheaper so more people own them. I heard someone say the Rancher feels alot lighter and more nimble when trail riding would you say that as well or not really noticable? Thanks for the video really looking forward to future content!!!!
JGUNIV Gunn , well the Rancher is 60 lbs lighter than the foreman . So it would feel lighter . And if you live in Canada , that front locker will help in snow and mud on the foreman . Thanks for watching
Thank You, Good information. I was looking at 2022 both bikes, NOW I know what the difference is. I have an 08 foreman, it is Carbureted, air/oil cooled, has foot shift. It has the 12 V outlet, but no electric front diff locker. Apparently it HAS a locker, activated with the front brake.I hope it lasts as long as I do. I have 4500 kilometers on it . I try to take good care + maintenance on it. I do as much as I can myself . I run ITP tires, same vintage as my bike. Not the tactor tire tread tires. They are radial and they LOOK similar to the old square-lug trike tires. I do not really notice the benefit of "radial" tires. they seem maybe a bit more stable than stock and seem to be long wearing.
Can not go wrong with Honda , please consider sub n to my channel and at 750 subs I’m doing a give away . Tell your friends and brother to sub and thank you
I'm still trying to decide on which one to buy between the two, is the foreman seat size any bigger or is the foreman any more roomy? I'd be riding with my girlfriend a lot so this is my biggest concern when choosing between the two. I also like how the foreman has the diff lock.
I’d say buy Foreman , seat same size , but over all bike seams bigger than Rancher . And with two people I’d want a Foreman and buy a cabelas box . I have video on that . Will keep her from falling off back . Please sub if already haven’t . Go to my Instagram and shoot me a message if want some free stickers for that new quad .
Give me your thoughts Our ranch is like a fish bowl and off camber trails and grove access points Would one of these be stable enough with 4 crates of citrus about 200-250 pounds on both front and rear racks? I destroyed my diesel Polaris in a high speed pursuit and it was a perfect fit…..
@@ArizonaKid I was fixing up a free 185s trike….but soon realized it was death on 3 wheels…once the engine fired up. Scary thing with very high gears….and no balance…..not even a sane persons ride.
Brandon Keating , I can only tell you what my bike has done , I’ve seen it hit 55 but not maintain it will jump from 51-55 but I haven’t went faster than that . Feels like it has a governor , keeping it from going any faster ? But I have no proof of that . How fast does yours go ?
@@ArizonaKid I don't have one yet I was thinking about buying one this week. I was just wondering how fast it goes. I know there not made for speed mostly reliability
Brandon Keating , I’ve owned a Yfz Yamaha 450 that could do 70-75 . And that was way too much and I owned polaris 570 that did 60-65 . And honestly it felt no faster than the Honda 520 . I’m happy with 50-55 and I like the reliability. My polaris burned fuel pumps every 500 miles . And belts .
Brandon Keating , I will also be doing a 6 things I like video on the foreman . Can’t say the six things I hated without letting people know the good stuff lol 😆
The displays look and have same functions so does the pioneer 700 , as for size of screen ? Look exactly same size . Never measured ? But look same and as for plug 🔌 ins behind screen ?? No idea .
@@bettysmith4527 both have the same frame , which is crazy but yes the plastic and height is different sizes . All Honda websites have the numbers . But it’s not a huge difference, if you are about size then get foreman . Good luck 🍀
@@ArizonaKid I agree ☝️ I’m old school , I like shifting, it gets you more engaged with the machine and allows you to interact for more responsive feedback between you and the machine and the terrain. I’d opt for the EPS for sure though, I think it holds its own weight to greatly benefit in tight technical riding conditions and makes it an effortless affair. Nice bike ! I was looking at this foreman or stepping up to the rubicon EPS , but I kinda like the SRA just for it’s ruggedness as well . Not to mention the cost savings . Something else I wanted to touch base on is you mention that 518cc engine only produces an extra 2hp , but I’m pretty sure it’s the torque is where you gain the big advantage ( I’m not sure what those numbers are ) I’m just guessing, there HAS TO be a significant increase in torque over the 420cc engine when we’re talking an extra 98cc bore size . I don’t know , I’m just trying to justify it in my head what the purpose would be to add a larger bore engine if there are no real gains ( just more fuel consumption) speaking of fuel consumption, how do the two compare in that department ?
Both have the same gears it feels like . 1-5 and low end gear seams same . Now high end ?? It seems the rancher can go faster ? Speed wise . I have other videos on that
What no power steering ..I got a 2022rancher with i.r.s it's a little longer with bigger tbone seat power steering etc.. it's worth the extra money it's resin grey with I haven't seen yet in any videos
Yes there are two models of rancher , one with independent and one with solid axle . Then the foreman only has solid and rubicon only has independent. So the rancher is the only one that has both , please subscribe if already haven’t and thank you
@@ArizonaKid Yep come to find out, They are a lot more expensive and keep up. You should try out the 2020 or 2021 Yamaha Kodiak or Grizzly 450. Yamaha's been doing things that Honda is just now catching up with. Check out that video 'Yamaha Grizzly versus Rancher and Foreman..
Looking at both of these right now, great timing... thank you...!
It’s a hard choice , let me know what you decide
That was a good review/ comparison ! Good job 👍🏼
I hope it helps people

Wow that was a awesome comparison !!
Thank you 😊
i bought a new rancher and i love it , my brother has the foreman , both really nice . but i bought a second rancher i like it so much
Can not go wrong with Honda , please consider sub n to my channel and at 750 subs I’m doing a give away . Tell your friends and brother to sub and thank you
I always remove warning decals
one more thing to note resale value is higher on the foreman. I noticed the ranchers are harder to sell driving resale values down.
That’s good info , never thought about resale value .

@@ArizonaKid great! I'm looking forward to the video!
Wish you would have shown the differnt digital displays between the two! TY for video though.
They are the same
@@ArizonaKid Are they physically the same size, it was hard to tell in video. Trying to decide between the two, and no dealers have them in stock.
The displays look and have same functions so does the pioneer 700 , as for size of screen ? Look exactly same size . Never measured ? But look same and as for plug 🔌 ins behind screen ?? No idea .

Great review. Love us some Honda’s 👍🏻👍🏻
Is that Foreman manual shift with EPS ? Which model ? And what’s your opinion on that manual vs DCT ?
No power steering and I like Manuel shift. . Less to brake down in my opinion

Great video!!
With the Forman when the bright light is on do the lower 2 lights stay on or do they turn off thanks for the post happy trails
When the bright is turned on all three lights stay on 😊 . Thanks for watching and please sub .
Thanks for the answer
Ranchers used to be smaller and more nimble than the foreman but now that they’re the same dimensions. is there any reason not to go with the foreman?
Foreman is a bit larger and does have more weight . But ya probably only reason not to do foreman would be to save few thousand bucks
Good breakdown👍
Thank you , I hope it helps if you are looking to buy one
How about the gear selection? Lower gears?
Both have the same gears it feels like . 1-5 and low end gear seams same . Now high end ?? It seems the rancher can go faster ? Speed wise . I have other videos on that
@@ArizonaKid do they both have reverse?
@@offgridmangogrower yes
What no power steering ..I got a 2022rancher with i.r.s it's a little longer with bigger tbone seat power steering etc.. it's worth the extra money it's resin grey with I haven't seen yet in any videos
Nice 😊
Is the Rubicon the same size bike as Rancher? Size wise not engine size. I no the video is about the foreman.
Rubicon is the mix of both rancher and foreman , highest class in my book and yes by her than both . Go to nearest dealer and check one out ☺️
@@ArizonaKid Thanks!
@@ArizonaKid one more question can the Rancher switch from four-wheel-drive to 2 wheel drive?
@@michaelbottjer3385 yes , but there are many ranchers . Can even buy rancher without 4x4
@@michaelbottjer3385 I’d just go look on line buddy or go to dealer . So many different configurations
Does the rancher have independent suspension?
Yes there are two models of rancher , one with independent and one with solid axle . Then the foreman only has solid and rubicon only has independent. So the rancher is the only one that has both , please subscribe if already haven’t and thank you
Are you happy with SRA ?
Yes I like the solid rear axle
You can make the rancher do a locking differential.
Hold front brake , I might do a video on that
Went in wanting a rancher and I’ve most likely changed my mind
It truly is a big choice , watch my 1200 mile review on the foreman and I bet you will want a 520 foreman
Hi where can I buy one?
Nearest dealer LOL 😂
@@ArizonaKid i dont live in america
@@yaku9095 👍🏼
Sounds like the Foreman is a beefier, better quad overall.
Lot of good info but very hard to see. Next time take them into the sunlight.
👌👌👌
If you had a choice to do it all over again would you buy a Can-Am?
No sir , I’m not a can am fan . But then I’ve never owned one lol 😂 but I have e friends that have them

Yamaha ATV. Under mentioned underpriced!
They severely underrate the rack and towing capacities on these machines. Either that or I abuse the hell outta mine. 😄
I used to pull 3 tons with my 400 Kodak Yamaha in 2004 so I think they under estimate all ATVS LOL 😂
@@ArizonaKid yeah for sure!
