2023 Honda® Pioneer 1000-5 Trail

2024 Honda® Pioneer 1000-5

When you’re behind the wheel of a Honda Pioneer 1000-5, forget about one size fits all. That’s because this is one of the most versatile side-by-sides ever, and because we have so many options for you to choose from. Every one features our exclusive in-bed QuickFlip® seating, allowing it to carry up to five adults securely and in comfort. And when you don’t need them, the seats fold down flush, giving you a large, flat-bottomed tilt bed for hauling cargo. The Pioneer 1000-5 is the workhorse of the family, but there’s also our Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe. The Trail edition is perfect for outdoor recreation, and the Forest edition is ready for adventure, and showcases our new TrueTimber® Atera Camo color scheme this year. Then there are the features that have made every model in our Pioneer 1000 lineup the toughest competitors in any shootout, like our 999cc Unicam engine and 6-speed Automatic DCT transmission.

Features may include:

• i-4WD

The Pioneer 1000-5 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 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.

• POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

We’ve given the engine huge power in our entire Pioneer 1000-5 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.

• 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 helps insulate against vibration and the self-leveling rear suspension compensates for changing loads.

• QUICKFLIP® SEATING

Bring an extra one or two passengers along for the ride. Two QuickFlip® seats pop up from the cargo bed on Pioneer 1000-5 models, giving you the extra seating you need, when you need it. Exclusive to Honda, it’s a smarter system than fixed seat, multi-row models, giving you better maneuverability on the trails.

• 3-PERSON CONTOURED BENCH SEAT

Tough, durable and built to enhance every driving experience — yes, we’re talking about the front 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.
