02 Cruise Control

This is a big plus, especially if you are using your Pioneer for agricultural use where you want a steady, even speed over fields for spraying or seeding operations.

03 Improved Power Steering

Our Electric Power Steering motor has 50 percent more torque now, and is tuned to improve driver comfort, especially when you are loaded with passengers and cargo. You also get a more consistent steering effort when operating over rocky terrain or deep mud.

More Ways the Pioneer 1000 Delivers

Updated Interior

Major changes to the interior include a new instrument panel, and way more comfort, thanks to better sealing and isolation from engine heat.

Chassis and Suspension

Beefy Maxxis tyres, long-travel independent front and rear suspension, and our sophisticated driveline provide excellent handling and comfort. Along with ample ground clearance, you get maximum traction and comfort in all conditions.

USB-C Charging

Charge your mobile device, listen to music, operate things like a GPS and much more with the new super convenient USB-C port.

Accessory Fusebox

Adding powered accessories has never been easier thanks to a new, dedicated accessory fusebox.

Exterior Fuel Cap

You can now refuel without opening the doors thanks to a relocated fuel-filler cap.

Pro-Connect Bed

More versatility? You got it. Honda's exclusive Pro-Connect system makes adding and removing accessories a literal snap. With 14 Pro-Connect mounting locations and ten new accessories, Pro-Connect is better than ever.

More Storage

This practical under-dash shelf comes standard and keeps frequently used items right up front in the cab. The underseat storage area also has a large opening, which keeps objects close at hand and easily accessible.

Easier Air-Filter Maintenance

Air-filter maintenance is easier than ever now, and totally tool-free too.

High/Low Subtransmission

With a 42 percent gear reduction between High and Low, you get the necessary torque in all six gears. This comes in handy when navigating rugged terrain, climbing steep hills, or towing heavy loads.
