Workhorses With A Wild Side



The 2023 Pioneer 1000 line is built to deliver on every farm, every ranch, every worksite. But that doesn't mean they don't know how to have some fun too. And with four models to choose from, you can find one tailored to your needs. Like the Forest Edition that's ready to explore. The Trail Edition that craves high-speed action. And the 1000 Deluxe models that won't hold you back, or let you down. Each one is equipped to deliver best-in-class features, comfort, power and performance, alongside that legendary Honda reliability. And this year, we've even given them some new graphics and color options. If you want your Pioneer 1000 to carry a couple more passengers, then check out the Pioneer 1000-5 with QuickFlip® seating, featuring two stowaway seats right in the cargo bed.

Engineering Features
  • i-4WD: The Pioneer 1000 Trail and Forest showcase our exclusive i-4WD system. Think “I" for “Intelligent," because that's exactly what it is. An industry-first brake-traction control system for side-by-sides, it simplifies operation, increases drivability and optimizes traction. Using proven, advanced technology from the Honda automotive division, you get the benefits associated with a locked front differential with none of the downsides. That means it maintains front-wheel traction even if one wheel wants to spin on ice or mud or if it's in a hole. But at the same time, you get the lighter steering, better tracking at high speeds, tighter turning radius, and reduced kickback associated with unlocked front differentials.
  • Advanced Transmission Logic: The brain of the DCT, Advanced Transmission Logic, senses how you drive and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts for a quieter ride at lower engine speeds. Sportier drivers will hold each gear longer for higher RPM shifts. And when going downhill, you get true engine braking. Now that's a smart transmission.
  • Parking Interlock: Even something like the parking brake is made smart - and simple. It features a single push/pull cable that makes adjusting and servicing easy.
Performance Features
  • More Powerful 999cc Twin-Cylinder Engine: We've given the engine huge power in our entire Pioneer 1000 lineup, especially in the midrange and top end. And thanks to the lower gear ratios, you'll feel quick acceleration and stellar overall performance. Using the same Unicam® cylinder head design found in our motocross bikes, the class-leading 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin is compact, while delivering the kind of horsepower and torque you'd expect from a flagship model.
  • 2500-Pound Towing Capacity: Have a big load to haul? Not a problem. The Pioneer 1000 is capable of hauling 2500 pounds. So instead of hopping on the tractor or taking out the truck, you can stay right in your side-by-side and tackle those bigger jobs with relative ease.
  • Built In The U.S.A.: The Pioneer 1000 is purpose-built for the American market, right in America. Domestically and globally sourced parts are all assembled at our plant in Timmonsville, South Carolina, and once these side-by-sides roll off the line, they're ready to explore every corner of the country.
  • Fully-Automatic Six-Speed DCT Transmission: Drive the way you want, with the industry's first and only all gear-driven six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic. Plus, the addition of Sport Mode increases the fun, shifting at higher RPM for a spirited, full-performance driving experience.
  • Gear Ratios: We've refined the gear ratios in the transmission, subtransmission, and final drive in all Pioneer 1000 models, helping enhance your Pioneer's versatility under all driving conditions.
  • High/Low Subtransmission: With a full 42-percent gear reduction between High and Low, you get the torque you need in all six gears. It comes in handy when driving over difficult terrain, scaling steep hills or towing heavy loads.
Handling Features
  • Chassis And Suspension: Prepare to go further than ever before. Our refined chassis enables you to tackle terrain others would shy away from, with larger tires, long-travel independent front and rear suspension and huge ground clearance. The rubber mounted engine and exhaust system insulates against excessive vibration.
  • Three Different Wheel Choices: Our four Pioneer 1000 models come with three different wheel choices. The Pioneer 1000 EPS rolls on 14-inch steel wheels, up from our 12-inch wheels last year. The Pioneer 1000 Deluxe and Forest Edition are fit with 14-inch aluminum wheels with an all-black finish, and the Pioneer 1000 Trail Edition gets 14-inch black aluminum wheels with contrast-cut highlights.
  • Otr Dirt Master Tires: All our Pioneer 1000 models feature high-performance OTR Dirt Master tires for excellent off-road traction and superior wear.
  • EPS System: This is something we're really proud of. Honda pioneered (no pun intended) electric power steering on our side by sides. And we've never stopped making it better. Every Pioneer 1000 EPS system features a brushless motor integrated with the ECU. The return-to-center function makes it intuitive on straight trails, and the whole system feels responsive and linear.
  • Independent Front And Rear Suspension: Dual A-arm suspension gives you 10.5 inches of travel in the front, and 10-inches of travel in the rear. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you maximize available traction and superior comfort maneuvering over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.
  • Paddle Shifting: Steering column-mounted paddle shifters add a serious dose of performance in every drive. In Manual mode, they let you shift without ever taking your hands off the wheel, and in Automatic mode, they let you override the current gear with a quick up or downshift, holding that gear for several seconds before returning to Automatic mode.
  • Turf/2WD/4WD/Diff Lock: Don't tear up sensitive surfaces. Select Turf Mode. Want to access as much traction as possible? Put it in 4WD. Need maximum power at all four wheels? Lock the front and rear differentials. And the best part is, you can do it all with a shift of a single lever.
Versatility Features
  • Forest And Trail Models: The Pioneer 1000's versatility is legendary. And the Trail and Forest Editions deliver on the kind of off-road experiences you seek. They're loaded with factory-installed accessories and extras, like Warn winches, special wheels, cabin lighting, special paint and graphics, and much more.
  • More Underseat Storage: The Pioneer 1000's convenient underseat storage area has a large opening, which keeps objects close at hand and easily accessible.
  • 1000-Pound-Capacity Tilt Bed: There are a ton of reasons to buy a Pioneer 1000. Among them: the half-ton hauling capacity*. And when it comes to dumping, we've made it easier than ever, with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever that can be accessed from outside the vehicle, or right from the driver's seat. *600-pound bed capacity for CA models
  • Large Cupholders: The primary dash-mounted cupholders in the Pioneer 1000 models are big enough to hold the most popular insulated tumblers. Plus, all Pioneer 1000 models also feature cup holders in every door. Designed to hold your water bottles securely, it's a convenient touch everyone will appreciate.
  • Under-Dash Storage: Standard equipment on the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe, Pioneer 1000 Trail, and Pioneer 1000 Forest editions, and as an available accessory on the Pioneer 1000, this practical under-dash shelf keeps frequently used items right up front in the cab.
  • Warn VRX 45 Winch: This is a huge upgrade and standard equipment on our Pioneer 1000 Forest and Trail models. The winch is installed at the factory, and is built right into the Pioneer's chassis, not added on as an accessory. With a 4500-pound capacity and spooled with steel cable, you'll be ready to pull your buddy out when he gets stuck!
  • Prewired For Accessories: We've pre-wired all Pioneer 1000 models for accessory switches, so you don't have to run a lot of extra wiring. For things like a winch alone, it slashes installation time as well as making the installation easier and cleaner. We've even included an extra, integrated grounding terminal.
  • LED Bed Light: Out on the trail before sunrise? Camping overnight? Our Pioneer 1000 Forest Edition features integrated LED bed lighting on both the left and right sides. (Available as an accessory on all other Pioneer 1000 models.)
  • Accessory Switch Panel: Standard equipment on the Pioneer 1000 Deluxe, Trail and Forest, the switch panel has room for seven switches, letting you control things like a winch, accessory lights, and more. A fully integrated design, it sits in the center of the dashboard, underneath the other switches and controls.
  • 12-Volt Accessory Socket: The Pioneer 1000 Deluxe, Trail, and Forest all feature a standard 12-volt power socket in the bed. Using a common “cigarette-lighter" style of outlet, it's perfect for powering things like a spotlight, work light, sprayer, air compressor, 110-volt inverter and more.
  • Interior Light: Both our Pioneer 1000 Trail and Forest Editions come with an interior light that lights up the floor area of the cabin. It's convenient, and a big help illuminating the under-dash storage area so you can find your items in low-light conditions.
  • Color-Match Door And Bedside Panels: Want to change the color of your Pioneer when hunting season rolls around? No problem. Our door and bedside panels can be easily swapped out for a different color scheme if and when you need it. This feature comes in particularly handy in case a panel sustains any damage on the job or trail. Available on the Pioneer Deluxe.
  • Engine Air Intake: To get the most out of your engine, you need the best air going into it. That's why we positioned the air intake up high under the hood. It helps ensure a clean air supply, even at deeper fording depths, and with a viscous air filter element, you get increased performance and longer service intervals.
Comfort Features
  • 3-Person Contoured Bench Seat: Tough, durable and built to enhance every driving experience — yes, we're talking about the seat. Contoured for three passengers, the center seat is positioned up and forward to maximize space and comfort, and the covering is designed to resist both the elements and heavy use.
  • LCD Instrument Display: The instrument display is easy to read, with big, bright graphics. The display includes a clutch indicator and a battery-voltage readout too, in addition to speed, fuel level, RPM, transmission mode, water temperature, trip information and more.
  • Rear-View Mirror: All Pioneer 1000 models feature an integral rear-view mirror mounting bracket on the rollover protection structure. The mirror itself is standard equipment on the Pioneer 1000 Trail, and an available accessory on all other trims.
  • Sophisticated Chassis: Some of the most impressive Pioneer 1000 features are those you'll never see. In addition to the suspension and ground clearance, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to insulate the cabin against excessive vibration. So while you may not see this feature, it's one you will definitely notice.
  • Tilt Wheel: With a tilt steering wheel designed to make getting in and out easier than ever, you're ensured an even more comfortable driving experience. We've given the wheel a wide range of adjustments for optimum customization and a spring-loaded damper that makes tilting it a snap.
  • Cooler Cabin: Our engineers have given the whole Pioneer 1000 lineup some big improvements when it comes to managing cabin heat. You'll ride cooler and be more comfortable in warm-weather conditions.
Safety Features
  • Safety Nets: Taking a cue from our Talon sport SxS models, we've made the Pioneer 1000 safety nets easy to connect and disconnect. And the mesh pattern optimizes air flow while providing passenger safety.
  • Driver/Passenger Protection: The Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing, and meets ISO's rollover protection standard. The hard doors and roll-up side nets help keep debris from entering the cabin, and auto-style three-point seatbelts are equipped with an emergency locking retractor mechanism, to help optimize passenger security. When you put this much safety first, fun is sure to follow.
  • Four-Wheel Disc Brakes: The Pioneer's uncompromising power helps take you further than ever before. The reliable disc brakes help you stop on a dime. Built to the same standard as you'd find in our autos, the four-wheel disc brakes help minimize debris build up, ensuring consistent performance and giving you confidence on the trail.
