You're right, it will sell because of it's name. But a lot of commercial operations such as oil companies, pipe line companies, utility companies, forestry people, etc. etc and some hunters (think duck hunters) might not buy it because they need a low range to handle their needs properly. It simply cuts down on their possible sales numbers because this market has other brands that have this needed benefit.

No doubt that is correct about them selling a bunch. But ask yourself this, why do all the others have proper gearing but the Big Red. It's not only about big tires, it's about pulling up steep grades in the mountains, plowing deep snow with a huge heavy 60" blade, finding traction on ice with the locker but no low range to help, it's about not getting stuck in the woods, going down the pipeline/highline, checking remote oil locations to be drilled, goose and duck hunters in rice fields or flooded timber, countless commercial applications and on and on. No low range on this tank size unit hurts it's flexibility and capibility. Noboby would not buy it with low range available, but more people would in fact buy it if it had low range. The price difference would be minimal. Just so you know, I really like the Big Red, like it a bunch. However, lack of low range is beyond my ability to understand and has zero to do with big tires. A lot of people and companies won't buy the Big Red for that simple fact.

but does not have a low range. Why ???  Surely Honda should be able to understand it needs a selectable low range. That just blows my mind,(what little I have left...lol.) and since the unit is absolutely not a sporty side by side, but is more go slow like a Mule and is certainly not like an RZR it needs this option to compete in the utility market. Big Red is clearly is a work type( nothing wrong with that) unit for around the farm, on the job and maybe around the deer camp. It's just a no brainer to have a low range available on a unit that has other high value features. I also will say this, this thing is like a little tank. Very well built, but no low range is a serious draw back ...

They say it has plenty of power....I like it because its bigger, 2 people can ride in it confortablly. Plus the seat are high up off of the ground. Also every one that rides atvs dont jump in the nearest deepest hole they cant find. Some of us like to trail ride and do all day rides like in the mountains where you camp on the trail  along the way.

Of course i like the big ranger too..... but that bench seat and cocked up steering wheel looks unconfortable.
