Chassis / Suspension

• ELECTRIC POWER STEERING: Yamaha’s proven, industry-leading Electric Power Steering (EPS) system on the Viking EPS Ranch Edition offers excellent handling over various types of terrain, with lower steering effort for reduced fatigue after a long day in the field or on the trail.
• EXCELLENT GROUND CLEARANCE: A maximum 11.8-inch ground clearance enhances terrainability and aids underbelly protection. The Viking EPS Ranch Edition’s width also helps minimize 30-inch row crop damage.
• HEFTY TOWING CAPABILITY: Standard center-mounted, heavy-duty 2-inch receiver-style hitch can tow up to 1,500 pounds.
• POWERFUL ALL-WHEEL DISC BRAKES: Large diameter front and rear wheel disc brakes provide excellent stopping power, and the dash-mounted parking brake is simple and convenient to use with a buzzer to notify the driver if the parking brake is accidentally left engaged.
• RUBBER CARGO BED MAT STANDARD: A durable rubber cargo bed mat further reduces noise and vibration while providing extra holding power for cargo.

Engine

• CLEAN-RUNNING DRIVE CASE: The specially designed drive system air intake helps prevent overheating and assists in keeping water and debris from entering the drive case.
• EFFICIENT INTAKE SYSTEM: Large-capacity air intake system contributes to the engine’s overall power development. An air injection system burns uncombusted elements in the exhaust, resulting in reduced emissions.
• GATED SHIFTER: Convenient dash-mounted gated shift lever (L/H/N/R) provides simple Ultramatic® transmission operation.
• YAMAHA ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION: Electronic Fuel Injection ensures peak performance in nearly all conditions and elevations, along with instantaneous cold starts and smooth throttle response.

• DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: Digital instrument panel boasts multi-function LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position, clock and a fuel gauge.
• ROOMY, COMFORTABLE CABIN: Padded head rests are included, and the middle seat is set back for both driver and passenger comfort. The pass-through floor provides ease of movement for getting in and out of the vehicle from either side, while a standard suntop keeps passengers covered.
• SERVICE ACCESSIBILITY: The engine is located under the cargo bed and can be easily accessed when the bed is lifted. Center hood access for battery and other electrical components eases maintenance. Underseat, tool-free air filter is a snap to service.
• UNDERBODY PROTECTION: Steel skid plate under the frame helps prevent the Viking EPS Ranch Edition from getting stuck and provides protection from rocks, logs and ruts.
