Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat TBX 400 ATV (2004-2006)
The Arctic Cat TBX 400, produced from 2004 to 2006, is a robust utility ATV known for its unique "truck box" cargo bed, which replaced the traditional rear rack. This design made it a versatile workhorse, ideal for transporting materials. Across these model years, it consistently featured a reliable single-cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC engine with a 376cc displacement. While the 2004 model was noted as 'Upgraded' and 2005 was a 'Carryover', the 2006 model year brought significant enhancements. These included new slimline SpeedRacks, a full-lock front differential, floating brake calipers, a redesigned hydraulic foot brake, a heavy-duty rear axle, and a new digital instrument pod. The engine also received a temperature-controlled fan and an Auto Electronic Choke system for improved starting, marking a notable mid-cycle refresh. FAQ:
