Hi all, I have two optinos and I´m looking for some help:
looking for a 420 4x4 I find a 2009 AT with IRS but not EPS, and another 2010 one with EPS and ES but not AT + not IRS, what´s the best choice for you EPS or IRS+AT?
thanks

Really depends on what kind of riding you do and personal preferance. I use mine mostly for hunting and trail riding so in my opinion the IRS is the way to go, world of difference in the ride comfort. JMO

I don't think the Ranchers should even have Power steering. They steer very well without it, even in 4-wheel drive.

No matter what, get the IRS. But why not do a little more searching and get it all. My 9 year old daughter can drive my rancher with PS all day long without wearing out. It also helps with hitting rocks and is a benefit if you add larger tires in the future. For the price, I'd drive 150 miles to get it fully loaded.

#2. You can put 8" & 10" wide tires on 7.5" wide rims without problems. Just remember, if your machine is IRS, you need the same offset front and rear.
