I have an 03 rubicon and it has low range, automatic drive..D1, D2 and reverse. Since mine is an ES it can also be electronically shifted by a thumb control unless it is in LOW. It has torque-sensing front differential. It does very well in the mud and water. You will want to snorkel it if you plan on running deep water. It is not belt driven so it will not slip in deep water like many of the 4x4's out there.

Gotta Love Honda !!!  ;D

I have yet to have my belt slip from deep water....but then the vent tube for it is above my gas tank so i'd basically have to sink it before it slips.

oh...mines a Polaris :D

gotta love hondas 3 wheel drive action! ;)
