2025 HONDA Pioneer 1000-5 Trail Special Edition

Versatility is its virtue

Versatility and a do-it-all attitude—that's what the Pioneer 1000-5 is all about. QuickFlip seats let you carry up to five people and fold flat for carrying cargo. The 999cc engine and automatic DCT transmission are an unbeatable combo. Three trims—including our new Special Edition this year—make it easy to pick one that’s perfect for you.

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.

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.

OTR Dirt Master tires

All models come with high-performance OTR Dirt Master tires, providing exceptional off-road traction and long-lasting durability.

Different wheel choices

The standard model rolls on 14-inch steel wheels, while the Deluxe has 14-inch aluminum wheels with an all-black finish, and the Trail SE has 14-inch black aluminum wheels with contrast-cut highlights.

EPS system

Honda was the first to introduce Electric Power Steering (EPS) for side-by-sides, and we keep making it better. A brushless motor features an integrated ECU, while the return-to-center function makes it more intuitive.

Self-load leveling rear suspension

The load-leveling suspension adjusts to weight changes, ensuring ground clearance, comfort, and handling automatically.

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.

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.

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.

i-4WD

The Trail SE features Honda's exclusive i-4WD system. It simplifies operation, improves drivability, and optimizes traction with its industry-first brake-traction control system.

Parking interlock

The parking brake is designed to be smart and simple. It's 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. Additionally, we've made it easier to dump with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever.

*600-pound bed capacity for CA models

Driver passenger protection

A sturdy Occupant Protection Structure with large-diameter tubing that meets ISO's rollover protection standard. Hard doors, roll-up side nets, and auto-style three-point seatbelts with emergency locking retractors enhance passenger safety.

Safety nets

Taking a cue from our Talon sport SxS models, we’ve made the safety nets easy to connect and disconnect. And the mesh pattern optimizes airflow while helping provide passenger safety.

Built in the U.S.A.

It's purpose-built for the American market, right here in America, using domestically and globally sourced parts assembled at our plant in Timmonsville, South Carolina.

QuickFlip seating

Two QuickFlip® seats in the cargo bed open easily and fold flat when not in use. A Honda exclusive, the design helps offers better maneuverability on the trails.

More underseat storage

The convenient underseat storage area has a large opening, which keeps objects close at hand and easily accessible.

Large cupholders

The primary dash-mounted cupholders are big enough to hold the most popular insulated tumblers. Plus, all models also feature cup holders on every door.

Under-dash storage

This practical under-dash shelf is standard on the Deluxe, and SE, and as an available accessory on the standard 1000-5. It keeps frequently used items right up front in the cab.

Warn VRX45 winch

Installed at the factory and built right into the chassis, the 4500-pound Warn® winch is available as standard equipment on our SE, and as an option on the standard and Deluxe.

Prewired for accessories

We’ve prewired all models for accessory switches, which slashes installation time and makes everything easier and cleaner. We’ve even included an extra, integrated grounding terminal.

12-volt accessory socket

The Deluxe and Trail SE both feature a standard 12-volt power socket in the bed. This outlet uses a common “cigarette-lighter” style, perfect for powering a spotlight, air compressor, and more.

Interior light

The Trail SE has an interior light that illuminates the cabin's floor area. It’s convenient and helps increase the visibility of the under-dash storage area.

3-person contoured bench seat

Contoured for three passengers, the 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 models feature an integral rear-view mirror mounting bracket on the rollover protection structure. The mirror is standard equipment on the Trail SE and an accessory available in all other trims.

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.

Accessory switch panel

Standard equipment on the Deluxe and SE: 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.

Custom sound system

The Trail SE boasts a factory-installed sound system, including a pair of 195-watt coaxial rear speakers, a powered 500-watt subwoofer with built-in amplifier, and an on-dash Bluetooth controller.

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.
