ENGINEERING

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.

PERFORMANCE

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

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

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.

OTR DIRT MASTER TIRES

All our Pioneer 1000 models feature high-performance OTR Dirt Master tires for excellent off-road traction and superior wear.

THREE DIFFERENT WHEEL CHOICES

Our four Pioneer 1000 models come with three different wheel choices. The Pioneer 1000 rolls on 14-inch steel wheels. The Pioneer 1000 Deluxe and Forest Editions 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.

EPS SYSTEM

We’re proud of this. Honda pioneered (no pun intended) electric power steering 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 10.6 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

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.

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.
