Honda's Pioneer 1000 Models Return For 2024 Model Year

The Pioneer 1000 represents the biggest, most capable, and multi-faceted UTV in Honda's toolbox. A variety of trims helps make it an easy choice for work duty and recreational fun alike, with a trim available for each discipline. The Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew stands at the top of the size and people-hauling spectrum, with seating for six and a full-size cargo bed. It continues to use the 999cc Unicam engine and Honda's dual clutch transmission (DCT). Color choices will be TrueTimber Atera Camo, Avenger Red, and Black Forest Green. Pricing is TBD.

Tailored slightly more towards trail time while retaining a knack for getting the dirty jobs done, the Pioneer 1000 and Pioneer-5 return as well for the 2024 model year. Differentiators between the two come down to whether buyers the Pioneer 1000-5 for its QuickFlip seat system which gives users two additional seats in the bed, providing additional passenger capacity over the Pioneer 1000's three-wide bench seating arrangement. Both models retain traction-optimizing "Intelligent" i-4WD on the Trail and Forest trims, which helps serve as a locking front differential without the downsides usually associated with having a fully locked diff. Honda states the Pioneer 1000 and 1000-5 are best for "From hunting and fishing to blazing trails and running cattle," which is consistent with the mantra of the Rec/Utility grouping into which Honda classifies the machines.
