2023 Honda® Pioneer 1000 Forest

The 2023 Pioneer 1000 line is built to deliver on every farm, every ranch, every worksite. But that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to have some fun too. And with four models to choose from, you can find one tailored to your needs. Like the Forest Edition that’s ready to explore. The Trail Edition that craves high-speed action. And the 1000 Deluxe models that won’t hold you back, or let you down. Each one is equipped to deliver best-in-class features, comfort, power and performance, alongside that legendary Honda reliability. And this year, we’ve even given them some new graphics and color options. If you want your Pioneer 1000 to carry a couple more passengers, then check out the Pioneer 1000-5 with QuickFlip® seating, featuring two stowaway seats right in the cargo bed.

Features may include:

• 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.

• 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

Have a big load to haul? Not a problem. 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.

• 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.

• 3-PERSON CONTOURED BENCH SEAT

Tough, durable and built to enhance every driving experience — yes, we’re talking about the seat. Contoured for three passengers, the center seat is positioned up and forward to maximize space and comfort, and the covering is designed to resist both the elements and heavy use.

• LCD INSTRUMENT DISPLAY

The instrument display is easy to read, with big, bright graphics. The display includes a clutch indicator and a battery-voltage readout too, in addition to speed, fuel level, RPM, transmission mode, water temperature, trip information and more.

• SAFETY NETS

Taking a cue from our Talon sport SxS models, we’ve made the Pioneer 1000 safety nets easy to connect and disconnect. And the mesh pattern optimizes air flow while providing passenger safety.
