• USB-C PORT: Charge your mobile device, listen to music, operate things like a GPS or much more—a new USB-C port is super convenient
• MORE, LARGE CUPHOLDERS: Six in total now: two on the instrument panel, two in the doors, and two in the center floorboard area, all sized to hold most popular large, insulated drinkware.
• EXTERIOR FUEL CAP: For 2026: On our Pioneer 1000 and 1000-5 models, now you can refuel without opening the doors thanks to a relocated fuel-filler cap.
• MORE UNDERSEAT STORAGE: The convenient underseat storage area has a large opening, which keeps objects close at hand and easily accessible.
• STYLING: One look will tell you the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe is full of changes. Bold new fenders and bodywork, a new grille and new graphics shout that this Pioneer means business!
• BED-DUMP LEVER: Our tilt/dump-bed design is a great versatile benefit, and now it’s even better. Relocating the dump lever makes it easier and less hassle to get to and use.
• PRO-CONNECT BED: More versatility? You got it! Honda’s exclusive Pro-Connect system makes adding and removing accessories a (literal) snap. With multiple Pro-Connect mounting locations and ten new accessories coming soon, Pro-Connect is better than ever.
• BED LIGHTING: Moving the bed light up high and in the center illuminates the entire cargo area, yet still won’t shine in your eyes.
• UNDER-DASH STORAGE: This practical under-dash shelf is standard on the Deluxe. It keeps frequently used items right up front in the cab.
• 12-VOLT ACCESSORY SOCKET: The Deluxe features a standard 12-volt power socket in the bed perfect for powering a spotlight, air compressor, and more.
• 3-PERSON CONTOURED BENCH SEAT: Contoured for three passengers, the front seat features a center positioned up and forward to maximize space and comfort and a tough covering designed to resist the elements and heavy use.
• REAR-VIEW MIRROR: All Pioneer 1000 models feature an integral rear-view mirror mounting bracket on the ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure)
• TILT WHEEL: A tilt-steering wheel is designed to make getting in and out easier than ever to ensure an even more comfortable driving experience. We’ve given it a wide range of adjustments and a spring-loaded damper that makes tilting it a snap.
• COOLER CABIN: Our engineers have made some big improvements to the whole lineup when it comes to managing cabin heat. You’ll ride cooler and be more comfortable in warm-weather conditions.
• EASIER AIR-FILTER MAINTENANCE: Air-filter maintenance is easier than ever now, and totally tool-free too.

Engineering

• FULLY AUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT: With the industry’s first six-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT), you can choose between manual mode or fully automatic. There’s even an easy-to-use tow/haul mode, along with 2WD, 4WD, Differential Lock, and Turf selections.
• SELECTABLE DRIVE MODES: Four selectable drive modes (Comfort, Normal, Sport and Tow/Haul) let you fine-tune your Pioneer 1000-5’s power delivery, shift points, and acceleration to the task at hand. You get top performance and a comfortable ride for every riding condition!
• VEHICLE SPEED CONTROLS: Throttle by wire enables the Pioneer 1000-5 to offer cruise control, a variable speed limiter, and a speed-limiter key. Cruise control is perfect for moving from one field to another. The variable speed limiter is great for tasks like spraying, mowing, and spreading. And the speed-limiter key keeps things under 25 mph for employees or less experienced operators.
• ADVANCED TRANSMISSION LOGIC: The DCT's advanced transmission logic system senses your driving and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts for a quieter ride. Sportier drivers get each gear held longer for higher rpm shifts. And you get real engine braking when going downhill.
• PADDLE SHIFTING: Steering-column-mounted paddle shifters add a dose of performance to 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.
• TURF/2WD/4WD/DIFF LOCK: To avoid damaging sensitive surfaces, select Turf Mode. For maximum traction, switch to 4WD. And if you need the most power for all four wheels, lock the front and rear differentials. The best part is that you can easily do it with a single lever.
• HIGH/LOW SUBTRANSMISSION: With a 42% gear reduction between High and Low, you get the necessary torque in all six gears, which comes in handy when navigating difficult terrain, climbing steep hills, or towing heavy loads.
• PARKING INTERLOCK: The parking brake is designed to be smart and simple. A single push/pull cable makes adjustments and servicing easy.
• 2500-POUND TOWING CAPACITY: Our Pioneer 1000 models can tow up to 2500 pounds, making it possible to complete bigger jobs without having to use a tractor or a truck.
• 1000-POUND-CAPACITY TILT BED: One of the most impressive features of this vehicle is its half-ton* bed capacity. No other side-by-side can carry more weight. Additionally, we've made it easier to dump with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever. *600-pound bed capacity for CA models
• FORMED ROPS: Our new formed ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) helps create a better sealing surface for accessories, especially items like doors and windshields. Accessories for the new model will be available soon.
• STANDARD ROOF: Here’s some welcome news—you asked for it, and now the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe comes standard with a roof for better weather and sun protection.
• DOOR LATCHES: No detail is too small when you’re as close to perfection as a Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe is. New door latches this year eliminate metal-to-metal contact for fewer rattles as you’re driving.
• CONNECTED DOOR NETS: Honda is all about safety, and our new connected door nets make safe operation easier and more hassle-free than ever. Now there’s no need to clip or unclip a door-net buckle when you open or close the front doors.
• INTERIOR: Major changes to the interior include a new instrument panel, and way more comfort, thanks to better sealing and isolation from engine heat.
• LED HEADLIGHTS: All-new LED headlights are sculpted to match the machine's lines, giving it an aggressive look even when sitting still. They are brighter and feature a specially designed lighting pattern that better illuminates the environment in front of you.
• MADE IN THE U.S.A.: Planned by Honda in our Georgia headquarters, developed and engineered in our Ohio design facility, and produced in our Timmonsville, South Carolina factory, the Pioneer 1000 family is purpose-built for the North American customer base, using domestic and globally sourced parts.

Handling

• CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION: Beefy tires, long-travel independent front and rear suspension, and our sophisticated driveline provide excellent handling and comfort.
• INDEPENDENT FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION: Dual A-arm suspension provides 10.6 inches of front travel and 10 inches in the rear. Along with ample ground clearance, you get maximum traction and comfort.
• MAXXIS BIG HORN 2.0 TIRES: All models come with high-performance Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 tires, providing exceptional off-road traction and long-lasting durability.
• PREMIUM WHEELS: Our Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe has 14-inch aluminum wheels with an all-black finish
• IMPROVED ELECTRIC POWER STEERING: Our Electric Power Steering (EPS) motor has 50-percent more torque than previous versions, and is tuned to improve driver comfort, especially when you’re loaded with passengers and cargo. You also get a more consistent steering effort when operating over rocky terrain or deep mud.
• SOPHISTICATED CHASSIS: Some of the most impressive features are those you'll never see. In addition to the suspension and ground clearance, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to help insulate the cabin against vibration.
• FOUR-WHEEL DISC BRAKES: Our high-quality disc brakes are designed for consistent performance, even in debris-heavy environments. Trust in their reliability and stop with confidence on the trail.

Performance

• POWERFUL 999CC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: With plenty of power—especially in the midrange and top end—you'll experience quick acceleration and exceptional overall performance.
• ENGINE AIR INTAKE: We placed the air intake higher up in the hood to ensure a clean air supply, even when fording at greater depths, resulting in improved performance.
• THROTTLE BY WIRE: The Pioneer 1000-5’s new throttle-by-wire (TBW) system enables a whole host of improvements. What you’ll notice first, though, is how smooth the shifts are now.
• CRUISE CONTROL: Cruise control is a great convenience feature, and another great example of how our Pioneer line keeps improving to better serve your needs.

Technology

• ACCESSORY SWITCH PANEL: Standard equipment on the Deluxe: 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. Accessories for the new model will be available soon.
• LCD INSTRUMENT DISPLAY: The LCD instrument display is easy to read and has bright graphics. It includes indicators for speed, fuel level, rpm, transmission mode, water temperature, trip information, and more.
