I have a 2013 Honda Rancher TRX420FPED. Can anyone tell me what the "D" stands for. Many Thanks!

no clue what the D stands for ??. but I know what the rest stands for. F= FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, P=POWER STEERING, E=ELECTRIC SHIFT. where are you getting this letter D from ?, cuz I know its not on the sticker anywhere I don't think anyway ??.

It was on the bill of sale and I have seen it mentioned before as a model elsewhere. It may signify the torque sensitive differential? Thanks Shadetree.

don't worry about it, all you need to be concerned about the first 3 letters, FPE .

 

[shadetree]

and your welcome .

D means it's a 2013. They put it at the end of the model code, it's usually on the decal under the seat which indicates the colour code. It's also the 10th digit of your VIN number.

Thank you Shadetree and Thanks Mac102004. Yes Mac you nailed it, it is also the 10th digit in the VIN Number.

Honda has been doing that for a long , long time --- but for some strange reason they don't do it every time ---- I have had about a 50/50 % ratio of bikes with the year code letter on the back end of the model and some not ---- Shade , you and me posted about that letter before --- an old mechanic I worked with years ago told me " Son , I forgot more than you will ever know " LOL ---

Look at any TRX300 under the seat, colour code decal, if it’s still there. Here’s an example....

Year by VIN...
